E-40 - Things'll Never Change
Written By：DR
Ah yeah ah ah ah it's real
Put it down all these crime thangs
Homeless the world is crazy bwoy
It's like this
It's the way it is
Heavy out there it's heavy
Was I really such a bad child
That I deserved to get hit with boards
And whooped with extension cords
Did you forget that I was your creation
And all I wanted from you
All was love hope and motivation
Son you're disrespectful and you're talking back
Get out my face kicked me out the house
And wouldn't even let me plead my case
Now I'm homeless and I'm freezing like the morgue
The only thing keepin me alive is the lord
Needless to say it's times like
This I'd rather be locked up then
Drinkin water out my hands
And eatin out of garbage cans
Can I come back home huh could I
Son you're on your own why should I
Things'll never change that's just the way it is
Nobody's even concerned
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
When will we ever learn
Huh three years from now
I think I'm gon be straight straight
I put my name on the list for section 8
Tried out for the army but I was flat footed
Didn't do no harm to me 'Cuz I was used to it
If I apply for some work let's make a bet
I'll get the nine
'Cuz I don't know about the internet
What do you think
We need to do to change about this nation
Need to provide more jobs and better education
Nuclear weapons puh should be stopping crimes
Already got enough to blow the world up
A thousand times
The birds and the bees deadly disease
Teenage pregnancies std's
Things'll never change that's just the way it is
Nobody's even concerned
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
When will we ever learn
A-wuh a wait a minute I hear sirens
Oh that's the couple down the street
Domestic violence
Either them or the little girl in 306
She's always telling everyone
That she gon slice her wrists
I guess that's the way it is in the life of sin
Where you'll prolly end up dead or in the pen
But my family ain't no better than the next
My auntie brenda turned her own sister in
For writing bad checks
And save folks try to hit you where it hurts
Knowin they the biggest hypocrites in the church
We need to give our minds a bath and
Do some scrubbin'
Stop the hate and start the lovin'
Things'll never change that's just the way it is
Nobody's even concerned
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
When will we ever learn
Things'll never change
That's just the way it is
Nobody's even concerned
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
When will we ever learn
Learn learn learn learn
