찬 바람이 불기 시작하면서부터 다시금 많이 듣게 된 노래다. 가사를 알아 먹을 수 없는 외국노래인 덕택에 두 달여, 햇수로 2년째 임에도, 줄창 들어대고 있음에도 여전히 질리지 않고 있다. 최근에 다른 나라 대선이 이슈가 되곤 하는데 최초의 흑인 대통령이건 최초의 여성 대통령이 나오건 어쨌거나 거의 변화의 바람은 순풍에 돛 단 듯 흘러가는 것 같다. ........그럼 공화당은??? ㅡㅡ;;
[1] Come on, come on I see no changes, wake up in the morning and I ask myself Is life worth living, or should I blast myself I'm tired of being poor, and even worse I'm black my stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch Cops give a damn about a negro pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero Give the crack to the kids, who the hell cares one less hungry mouth on the welfare first ship 'em dope, let 'em deal the brothers give 'em guns, step back and watch 'em kill each other It's time to fight back, that's what Huey said 2 shots in the dark, now Huey's dead I got love for my brothers but we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other We gotta start makin' changes learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers and that's how it's supposed to be How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me? I'd love to go back to when we played as kids but things change, and that's the way it is
[Bridge w/ changing ad libs] come on, come on That's just the way it is Things'll never be the same that's just the way it is, ahh yeah [Repeat]
[2] I see no changes all I see is racist faces misplaced hate, makes disgrace to races We under, I wonder what it takes to make this one better place, let's erase the wasted Take the evil out the people, they'll be acting right cuz both black and white are smokin' crack tonight and the only time we chill is when we kill each other it's takes skill to be real, time to heal each other and although it seems Heaven sent we ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh it ain't a secret don't conceal the fact the penetentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks But some things will never change try to show another way, but ya stayin' in the dope game Now tell me what's a mother to do? bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you You gotta operate the easy way " I made a G today " but you made it in a sleezy way sellin' crack to the kids " I gotta get paid " Well hey, well that's the way it is [Bridge]
[Talking:] We gotta make a change... It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes Let's change the way we eat let's change the way we live and lets change the way we treat each other You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do what we gotta do, to survive
[3] And still I see no changes, can't a brother get a little peace? It's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do but now I'm back with the facts givin' it back to you Don't let 'em jack you up back you up crack you up and pimp smack you up you gotta learn to hold ya own they got jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone But tell the cops they can't touch this I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this that's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool my mama didn't raise no fool And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped and I never get to lay back cuz I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs some punk that I roughed up way back comin' back after all these years rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat, that's the way it is [Bridge 'til fade]
If I can reach the stars, Pull one down for you, Shine it on my heart So you could see the truth: That this love I have inside Is everything it seems. But for now I find It's only in my dreams.
That I can change the world, I will be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good, Baby if I could change the world.
And if I could be king, Even for a day, I'd take you as my queen; I'd have it no other way. And our love would rule This kingdom we had made. Till then I'd be a fool, Wishing for the day...
That I can change the world, I would be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good, Baby if I could change the world. Baby if I could change the world.
I could change the world, I would be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good, Baby if I could change the world. Baby if I could change the world. Baby if I could change the world.
이 곡 다음으로 2Pac의 Life goes on과 God bless the dead가 이어진다.
