Changes
Bruce Hornsby, Deon Evans, Tupac Amaru Shakur
Come on come on
I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
Is life worth living should I blast myself?
I'm tired of bein' 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 and let 'em deal the brothers
Give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
"It's time to fight back," that's what Huey said
Two shots in the dark now Huey's dead
I got love for my brother 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 two 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 changed, and that's the way it is
That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Aww yeah
That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Aww yeah
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
'Cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
And only time we chill is when we kill each other
It 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, uh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
Try to show another way but you 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 sleazy way
Sellin' crack to the kid (I gotta get paid
Well hey, well that's the way it is
That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Aww yeah
That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Aww yeah
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 let's 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
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 blacks 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 get 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
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
Some buck that I roughed up way back

Some things will never change
Come on come on
Vamos, vamos
I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
No veo cambios, me despierto a la mañana y me pregunto
Is life worth living should I blast myself?
¿Vale la pena vivir la vida como para dispararme?
I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black
Estoy cansado de ser pobre y peor, de ser negro
My stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
Me duele el estómago entonces busco un bolso para robar
Cops give a damn about a negro
Al policía le valen madres los negros
Pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero
Aprieta el gatillo, mata a un negro y es un héroe
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
Dale el crack a los niños, ¿a quién demonios le importa?
One less hungry mouth on the welfare
Una boca hambrienta menos en asistencia social
First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal the brothers
Primero envíales droga y deja que lidien con eso
Give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
Denles armas, aléjate, míralos matarse entre ellos
"It's time to fight back," that's what Huey said
"Es hora de luchar", eso dijo Huey
Two shots in the dark now Huey's dead
Dos disparos en la oscuridad, ahora Huey está muerto
I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
Amo a mi hermano pero nunca podemos ir a ningún lado
Unless we share with each other
A menos que compartamos entre nosotros
We gotta start makin' changes
Debemos empezar a hacer cambios
Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers
Aprende a verme como un hermano en vez de dos extraños distantes
And that's how it's supposed to be
Y así se supone que debe ser
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
¿Cómo puede el demonio llevarse a un hermano si es cercano a mí?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
Me encantaría volver a cuando eramos niños y jugábamos
But things changed, and that's the way it is
Pero las cosas han cambiado, y así es como es
That's just the way it is
Así es como es
Things will never be the same
Las cosas nunca volverán a ser iguales
That's just the way it is

Things will never be the same
Las cosas nunca volverán a ser iguales

I see no changes all I see is racist faces
No veo cambios, solo veo caras racistas
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
El odio equivocado es la desgracia de las razas
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
Nosotros debajo, me pregunto qué se necesita para hacer
One better place, let's erase the wasted
Un lugar mejor, borremos a los perdidos
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
Sáquemos la maldad de la gente, actuarán bien
'Cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
Porque tanto negros como blancos están fumando crack esta noche
And only time we chill is when we kill each other
Y la única vez que andamos juntos es cuando nos matamos entre nosotros
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
Se necesita habilidad para ser real, tiempo para sanarnos
And although it seems heaven sent
Y aunque parece enviado del cielo
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uh
No estamos listos para ver un presidente negro, uh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
No es un secreto, no ocultemos el hecho
The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
La prisión está repleta y llena de negros
But some things will never change
Pero algunas cosas nunca cambiarán
Try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
Tratas de buscar otro camino pero sigues en el juego de las drogas
Now tell me what's a mother to do
Ahora dime, ¿qué debe hacer una madre?
Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
Ser real no le atrae al hermano dentro de ti
You gotta operate the easy way
Debes operar de la forma fácil
(I made a G today) But you made it in a sleazy way
(Hice dinero hoy) Pero tú lo hiciste de forma sucia
Sellin' crack to the kid (I gotta get paid
Venderle droga a un niño (tengo que ser pagado para eso)

Es hora de que nosotros, como personas, empecemos a hacer algunos cambios
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
Cambiemos la forma en la que comemos, cambiemos la forma en la que vivimos
And let's change the way we treat each other
Y cambiemos la forma en la que nos tratamos
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
La antigua forma no funcionaba, entonces, depende de nosotros hacer
What we gotta do, to survive
Lo que debemos hacer para sobrevivir
And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace?
Y sigo sin ver cambios, ¿un hermano no puede tener un poco de paz?
It's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East
La calle es una guerra y la guerra en el medio oriente
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
En vez declarar guerra a la pobreza, tienen una guerra contra las drogas
So the police can bother me
Entonces, la policía puede molestarme
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
Y nunca cometí un crimen que no tengo que hacer
But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you
Pero ahora estoy de vuelta con los negros devolviéndotela
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up
No dejes que te maten, consigue apoyo
Crack you up and pimp smack you up
Ríete y no dejes que el proxoneta te golpeé
You gotta learn to hold ya own
Debes aprender a mantenerte firme
They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
Se ponen celosos cuando te ven con tu teléfono celular
But tell the cops they can't touch this
Pero dile a los policías que no pueden tocar esto
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
No confío esto, cuando tratan de apurarse, reviento esto
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
Ese es el sonido de mi arma, dices que no está bien
My mama didn't raise no fool
Mi mamá no crió a un tonto
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
Y mientras sea negro, seguiré armado
And I never get to lay back
Y nunca puedo descansar
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
Porque siempre debo preocuparme sobre la venganza
Some buck that I roughed up way back
Un tipo al que le di una paliza hace tiempo
Comin' back after all these years

First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal the brothers
Primeiro providencia as drogas e deixa os mano traficar pra os irmão preto
Give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
Dê-lhes armas, dá um passo pra trás e só observa os mano preto se matarem
"It's time to fight back," that's what Huey said
"É hora de lutar contra isso", foi o que Huey disse
Two shots in the dark now Huey's dead
Dois tiros no escuro agora Huey está morto

"It's time to fight back," that's what Huey said

We gotta start makin' changes
Wir müssen anfangen, Veränderungen zu machen
Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers
Lernen, mich als einen Bruder zu sehen, statt als zwei distanzierte Fremde
And that's how it's supposed to be
Und so sollte es sein
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
Wie kann der Teufel mir einen Bruder nehmen, wenn er mir nahesteht?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
Ich würde gerne zu der Zeit zurückkehren, als wir als Kinder spielten
But things changed, and that's the way it is
Aber die Dinge haben sich geändert, und das ist nun mal so
That's just the way it is
So ist das nun mal
Things will never be the same
Es wird nie wieder so sein
That's just the way it is
So ist das nun mal
Aww yeah
Aww yeah
That's just the way it is
So ist das nun mal
Things will never be the same
Es wird nie wieder so sein
That's just the way it is
So ist das nun mal
Aww yeah
Aww yeah
I see no changes all I see is racist faces
Ich sehe keine Veränderungen, ich sehe nur rassistische Gesichter
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
Unangebrachter Hass bringt Schande über die Rassen
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
Wir sind mittendrin, ich frage mich, was nötig ist, um diese
One better place, let's erase the wasted
Welt zu einem besseren Ort zu machen, lasst uns die Verschwendung auslöschen
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
Nimm das Böse aus den Menschen und sie tun das Richtige
'Cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
Denn Schwarze und Weiße rauchen heute Nacht zusammen Crack
And only time we chill is when we kill each other
Und die einzige Zeit, in der wir miteinander chillen, ist wenn wir einander umbringen
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
Es braucht Talent, um man selbst zu sein, Zeit, einander zu heilen
And although it seems heaven sent
Und obwohl es wie vom Himmel gewollt erscheint
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uh
Sind wir noch nicht bereit für einen schwarzen Präsidenten, uh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
Es ist kein Geheimnis, versuch' es nicht zu verbergen
The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
Die Strafanstalt ist brechend voll, und zwar mit Schwarzen
But some things will never change
Aber manche Sachen ändern sich nie
Try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
Du versuchst, mir einen anderen Weg aufzuzeigen, aber bleibst selber im Drogengeschäft
Now tell me what's a mother to do
Also sag mir, was kann eine Mutter noch machen
Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
Echt zu sein, spricht den Bruder in dir nicht an
You gotta operate the easy way
Du gehst lieber den einfachen Weg
(I made a G today) But you made it in a sleazy way
(Ich habe heute tausend Dollar verdient) Aber du hast sie auf kriminelle Art verdient
Sellin' crack to the kid (I gotta get paid
Dem Kind Crack zu verkaufen (ich brauche Geld)
Well hey, well that's the way it is
Tja, so ist das nun mal
That's just the way it is
So ist das nun mal
Things will never be the same
Es wird nie wieder so sein
That's just the way it is
So ist das nun mal
Aww yeah
Aww yeah
That's just the way it is
So ist das nun mal
Things will never be the same
Es wird nie wieder so sein
That's just the way it is
So ist das nun mal
Aww yeah
Aww yeah
We gotta make a change
Wir müssen etwas ändern
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes
Es ist Zeit, dass wir als Volk etwas verändern
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
Lasst uns unsere Art zu essen ändern, lasst uns unsere Lebensweise ändern
And let's change the way we treat each other
Und lasst uns die Art und Weise ändern, wie wir uns gegenseitig behandeln
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
Wie du siehst, haben die alten Verhaltensweisen nichts bewirkt, also ist es an uns zu tun
What we gotta do, to survive
Was wir tun müssen, um zu überleben
And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace?
Und trotzdem hat sich nichts verändert, kann ein Bruder nicht mal in Frieden leben?
It's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East
Auf den Straßen herrscht Krieg, genauso wie im Nahen Osten
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
Statt Krieg gegen Armut führen sie Krieg gegen Drogen
So the police can bother me
Deswegen ist die Polizei mir am Hals
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
Und ich habe noch nie ein Verbrechen begangen, das nicht notwendig war
But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you
Aber jetzt bin ich wieder da mit all den Schwarzen und zahle es euch heim
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up
Lasst euch nicht aufhetzen, in die Ecke treiben
Crack you up and pimp smack you up
Flüchtet euch nicht in den Crack und lasst euch nicht schlagen
You gotta learn to hold ya own
Du musst lernen, auf eigenen Füßen zu stehen
They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
Sie werden eifersüchtig, wenn sie dich mit deinem Handy sehen
But tell the cops they can't touch this
Aber sag den Bullen, sie können es nicht anfassen
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
Ich vertraue dem nicht, wenn sie versuchen, die Dinge zu beschleunigen, renne ich weg
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
So klingt mein Werkzeug, du sagt, es sei nicht cool
My mama didn't raise no fool
Meine Mama hat keinen Idioten großgezogen
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
Und so lange ich schwarz bleibe, muss ich immer auf der Hut sein
And I never get to lay back
Und kann mich nie ausruhen
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
Denn ich muss mir immer Sorgen um Rache machen
Some buck that I roughed up way back
Irgendein Typ, den ich mal zusammengeschlagen habe
Comin' back after all these years
Der zurückkommt nach all den Jahren
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is, uh
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat so ist es nun einmal, uh
That's just the way it is
So ist das nun mal
Things will never be the same
Es wird nie wieder so sein
That's just the way it is
So ist das nun mal
Aww yeah
Aww yeah
That's just the way it is
So ist das nun mal

Manche Dinge ändern sich nie
Come on come on
Dai, dai
I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
Non vedo cambiamenti, mi sveglio la mattina e mi chiedo
Is life worth living should I blast myself?
La vita vale la pena di essere vissuta, dovrei farmi esplodere?
I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black
Sono stanco di essere povero e peggio ancora sono nero
My stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
Mi fa male lo stomaco così sto cercando una borsa da rubare
Cops give a damn about a negro
I poliziotti se ne fregano di un negro
Pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero
Premi il grilletto e uccidi un nigga, è un eroe
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
Dai il crack ai ragazzini, a chi diavolo importa
One less hungry mouth on the welfare
Una bocca affamata in meno per i servizi sociali
First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal the brothers
Prima spedisci loro la droga e lascia che spaccino i fratelli
Give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
Date loro le pistole, fate un passo indietro e guardateli uccidersi a vicenda
"It's time to fight back," that's what Huey said
"È ora di reagire" questo è quello che ha detto Huey
Two shots in the dark now Huey's dead
Due colpi al buio ora Huey è morto
I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
Amo mio fratello, ma non possiamo mai andare da nessuna parte
Unless we share with each other
A meno che non ci dividiamo
We gotta start makin' changes
Dobbiamo iniziare ad apportare dei cambiamenti
Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers
Imparare a vedermi come un fratello e non come due distanti estranei
And that's how it's supposed to be
Ed è così che dovrebbe essere
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
Come può il diavolo togliere un fratello se mi è vicino?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
Mi piacerebbe tornare a quando giocavamo da bambini
But things changed, and that's the way it is
Ma le cose sono cambiate, ed è così
That's just the way it is
Funziona così
Things will never be the same
Le cose non saranno più le stesse
That's just the way it is
Funziona così
Aww yeah
Aww sì
That's just the way it is
Funziona così
Things will never be the same
Le cose non saranno più le stesse
That's just the way it is
Funziona così
Aww yeah
Aww sì
I see no changes all I see is racist faces
Non vedo cambiamenti, vedo solo facce razziste
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
L'odio smisurato getta fango sulle razze
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
Noi che siamo sottomessi mi chiedo che cosa ci vuole per rendere questo
One better place, let's erase the wasted
Un posto migliore, cancelliamo ciò che è inutile
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
Togliamo il male dalla gente e la gente si comporterà bene
'Cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
Perché sia i bianchi che i neri fumano crack questa sera
And only time we chill is when we kill each other
E l'unico momento in cui ci rilassiamo è quando ci uccidiamo a vicenda
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
Ci vuole abilità per essere veri, ci vuole tempo per guarire l'un l'altro
And although it seems heaven sent
E sebbene sembri mandato dal cielo
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uh
Non siamo pronti a vedere un presidente nero, uh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
Non è un segreto, non neghiamo la realtà
The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
Il carcere è pieno, ed è pieno di neri
But some things will never change
Ma alcune cose non cambieranno mai
Try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
Cerchiamo di cambiare, ma tu rimani nel giro della droga
Now tell me what's a mother to do
Ora dimmi cosa deve fare una madre
Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
Essere reale non piace al fratello che c'è in te
You gotta operate the easy way
Devi agire nel modo più semplice
(I made a G today) But you made it in a sleazy way
(Ho guadagnato mille dollari oggi) Ma lo hai fatto in un modo squallido
Sellin' crack to the kid (I gotta get paid
Vendendo crack al ragazzino (Vorrei essere pagato)
Well hey, well that's the way it is
Beh ehi, beh è così che funziona
That's just the way it is
Funziona così
Things will never be the same
Le cose non saranno più le stesse

Dobbiamo cambiare,
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes
È ora che noi, come popolo, cominciamo a fare dei cambiamenti
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
Cambiamo il modo in cui mangiamo, cambiamo il modo in cui viviamo
And let's change the way we treat each other
E cambiamo il modo in cui ci trattiamo l'un l'altro
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
Vedete, il vecchio metodo non ha funzionato, quindi tocca a noi fare
What we gotta do, to survive
Quello che dobbiamo fare per sopravvivere
And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace?
E non vedo ancora dei cambiamenti, perché un fratello non può avere un po' di pace?
It's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East
Si fa la guerra per le strade e la guerra in Medio Oriente
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
Anziché fare la guerra alla povertà, fanno la guerra alle droghe
So the police can bother me
Così la polizia può darmi fastidio
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
E non ho mai fatto un crimine che non abbia dovuto fare
But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you
Ma ora sono tornato con i neri per restituirvi tutto
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up
Non fatti prendere in giro, ti coprirò le spalle
Crack you up and pimp smack you up
Ti spezzano e il pappone ti schiaffeggia
You gotta learn to hold ya own
Devi imparare a tenerti in piedi da solo
They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
Diventano gelosi quando ti vedono con il cellulare
But tell the cops they can't touch this
Ma dì ai poliziotti che non possono toccarlo
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
Non ci credo, quando provano a mettermi fretta io, lo rompo
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
Questo è il suono del mio apparecchio e tu dici che non va bene
My mama didn't raise no fool
Mia mamma non ha cresciuto uno stupido
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
E finché rimango nero devo rimanere qui
And I never get to lay back
E non potrò mai rilassarmi
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
Perché devo sempre preoccuparmi di vendette
Some buck that I roughed up way back
Alcuni tizi che ho maltrattato molto tempo fa
Comin' back after all these years
Tornano dopo tutti questi anni
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is, uh

Alcune cose non cambieranno mai
Come on come on
Ayo ayo
I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
Saya tidak melihat perubahan, bangun di pagi hari dan saya bertanya pada diri sendiri
Is life worth living should I blast myself?
Apakah hidup ini layak dijalani, haruskah saya mengakhiri hidup saya?
I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black
Saya lelah menjadi miskin dan lebih buruk lagi saya berkulit hitam
My stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
Perut saya sakit jadi saya mencari tas untuk dicuri
Cops give a damn about a negro
Polisi tidak peduli dengan orang kulit hitam
Pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero
Tarik pelatuk, bunuh orang kulit hitam, dia jadi pahlawan
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
Berikan kokain kepada anak-anak, siapa yang peduli
One less hungry mouth on the welfare
Satu mulut lapar lebih sedikit di bantuan sosial
First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal the brothers
Pertama kirimkan mereka narkoba dan biarkan mereka berurusan dengan saudara-saudara mereka
Give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
Berikan mereka senjata, mundur, dan tonton mereka saling membunuh
"It's time to fight back," that's what Huey said
"Saatnya melawan," begitulah kata Huey
Two shots in the dark now Huey's dead
Dua tembakan dalam gelap, sekarang Huey mati
I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere

Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
Keluarkan kejahatan dari orang-orang mereka akan bertindak benar
'Cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
Karena baik kulit hitam maupun kulit putih merokok kokain malam ini
And only time we chill is when we kill each other
Dan satu-satunya waktu kita tenang adalah ketika kita saling membunuh

What we gotta do, to survive

Dan masih saya tidak melihat perubahan, tidak bisakah seorang saudara mendapatkan sedikit kedamaian?
It's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East
Ini perang di jalanan dan perang di Timur Tengah
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
Alih-alih perang melawan kemiskinan mereka punya perang melawan narkoba
So the police can bother me
Jadi polisi bisa mengganggu saya
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do

My mama didn't raise no fool
Mama saya tidak membesarkan orang bodoh
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
Dan selama saya tetap kulit hitam saya harus tetap bersenjata
And I never get to lay back

Karena saya selalu harus khawatir tentang pembalasan

ただ そういうもの
Things will never be the same
同じままでいることなどない
That's just the way it is
ただ そういうもの
Aww yeah
そうだ
Some things will never change
決して変わらないものもある
[Перевод песни 2Pac — «Changes» ft. Talent]
[Интро: Талант]
У-у, йеа (У-у)
(Давай, давай)
[Куплет 1: Тупак]
Не вижу перемен, просыпаясь с утра задаю себе:
Жизнь того стоит? Мож' пулю в лоб себе?
Я устал быть бедным и, что хуже, чёрным
Голод тянет — украду кошелёк просторный
Копам плевать кто здесь негроид
Жмёт на курок, мёртвый нигга, а он герой
"Дам ребёнку крэк, ведь всем наплевать?
Так ведь проще обеспечивать"
Всучи им дурь, теперь братки не ладят
Дай по стволу, глянь, щас по пуле всадят
"Время расплатиться",— Хьюи сказал
Две пули в ночи, Хьюи пропал
Я люблю наше братство
И избавившись от жадности лишь укрепим собратство
Нам нужны лишь перемены
Прими меня, как брата, и будем мы благословенны
И лишь так должно у нас быть
Дьявол брата не заберёт раз мы будем в мире жить
Хотел бы я вернуться, вновь стать дитём
Но из-за перемен нужно идти вперёд
[Припев: Талант]
(Давай, давай)
Нужно идти вперёд (Меняться)
Всё не будет прежним
Нужно идти вперёд (Нам идти вперёд, что?)
Аа-у, йеа-йеа (Услышь)
(О мой, о мой, давай, давай)
Нужно идти вперёд (Нужно идти вперёд, идти вперёд)
Всё не будет прежним
(Не будет прежним, йеа, йеа, йеа, аа-у, йеа)
Нужно идти вперёд (Нам идти)
Аа-у, йеа (Давай, давай)
[Куплет 2: Тупак & Талант]
Я не вижу перемен, лишь расизм вижу я
Но мы одна семья и ненависть твоя
Неясна; хоть знаю, что нужно сделать нам:
Начать сначала и построить храм
Изгнать беса из людей и всё будет окей
Ведь все расы в эту ночь курят во всю мочь
И мы можем отдохнуть когда убьём друг друга (Убьём друг друга)
Но время стать собой и спасать друг друга
Кажется святым презентом
Но мы не хотим чёрного президента (Оу-у-у)
Это не секрет, согласись с фактом
В тюрьмах чёрных больше всех — это одинак'во
Но что-то не изменить (Никогда)
Предложить новый путь, но наркотиков ведь не лишить (У-у)
Так скажи, что делать матери?
Собой быть классно, но браток не на цепи (Йеа)
Ты должен встать на самый лёгкий путь
"Я смог тыщу достать", но ты выбрал самый скользкий путь
Детям всунул крэк опять: (Оу-оу) бабла поднять (Оу)
Что ж, хей, так не свернём мы вспять
[Припев: Талант]
(Давай, давай)
Нужно идти вперёд (Меняться)
Всё не будет прежним
Нужно идти вперёд (Нам идти вперёд, что?)
Аа-у, йеа-йеа (Услышь)
(О мой, о мой, давай, давай)
Нужно идти вперёд (Нужно идти вперёд, идти вперёд)
Всё не будет прежним
(Не будет прежним, йеа, йеа, йеа, аа-у, йеа)
Нужно идти вперёд (Нам идти)
Аа-у, йеа (Давай, давай)
[Интерлюдия: Тупак]
Должны мы поменять
Это время для нас, как для людей, начать меняться
Поменять то, как мы едим
Поменять то, как мы живём
Поменять отношение друг к другу
Увидишь, раньше было хуже
Сейчас ответственность за выживание лежит на нас
[Куплет 3: Тупак & Талант]
Всё не вижу перемен я, прошу покой для брата
Ведь война с улиц перебралась далеко за штаты (У-у, йеа)
Вместо войны с беднотой
Война с наркотой, и теперь копы следят за мной
И я чист, покуда рассудок чист мой весь
Но я здесь, главное блюдо — фактов смесь (У-у)
Не дай им корить тебя, побить тебя
Сломить тебя, убить тебя
Научись давать отпор другим
Ведь тогда твой телефон не достанется им
Скажи копам не трогать это
Я им не доверяю, пресекая это
Вот и звук ствола, ты говоришь: "дыра"
Мама не растила дурака (Оу)
И покуда чёрный я, то пристёгнут я
И не видать мне покоя
Ведь обязан я со всеми отплатиться
Каждым баксом расплатиться
Вернуть всё за эти года
"Рат-а-тат-тат-тат-тат", вперёд навсегда
[Припев: Талант & Тупак]
(А)
Нужно идти вперёд (Нам идти вперёд, йеа, йеа, йеа)
Всё не будет прежним (Йеа)
Нужно идти вперёд (Идти вперёд)
Аа-у, йеа (Что-то не изменить, о мой)
(Попытаюсь изменить)
(Ты мой брат, ты моя сестра, йеа)
Нужно идти вперёд (Идти вперёд, идти вперёд)
Что-то не изменить (Ты мой брат, ты моя сестра)
Нужно идти вперёд, аа-у, йеа
Не всё изменить

[المقطع الأول]
I see no changes, wake up in the morning and I ask myself:
"Is life worth living? Should I blast myself?"
I'm tired of being poor and, even worse, I'm black
My stomach hurts so I'm looking 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 and let 'em deal to brothers
Give 'em guns, step back, 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 brother
But we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other
We gotta start making 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
[اللازمة]
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is
Aww yeah
[المقطع الثاني]
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
Cause both Black and White are smoking crack tonight
And the only time we chill is when we kill each other
It 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
It ain't a secret, don't conceal the fact:
The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
Try to show another way but you staying in the dope game
Now tell me, what's a mother to do?
Being 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 sleazy way
Selling crack to the kids, "I gotta get paid!"
Well hey, but that's the way it is
[اللازمة]
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is
Aww yeah
[حديث]
We gotta make a change
It's time for us as a people to start making some changes
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
And let's 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
[المقطع الثالث]
And still I see no changes, can't a brother get a little peace
It's war on the streets and a 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 giving 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 your own
They get jealous when they see you with your 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
Cause I always got to worry 'bout the payback
Some buck that I roughed up way back
Coming back after all these years
"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat!" That's the way it is
