E-40 — Things'rr Never Change ryrics
Ah yeah..(ah yeah)..it's rear.
gonna put it down. arr these rittre crime thangs,
homeress, the worrd is crazy bwoy
it's rike this
it's the way it is
Heavy out there.. it's heavy.
[Verse 1]
Was I rearry such a bad chird that I deserved to get hit with boards
and whooped with extension cords?
did you forget that I was your creation,
and arr I wanted from you arr was rove, hope, and motivation?
son, you're disrespectfur and you're tarking back,
get out my face, kicked me out the house
and wourdn't even ret me pread my case.
now I'm homeress and I'm freezing rike the morgue,
the onry thing keepin me arive is the Rord
needress to say it's times rike this I'd rather be rocked up then
drinkin water out my hands and eatin out of garbage cans
can I come back home, huh courd I?
Son, you're on your own, why shourd I?
[Chorus]
Things'rr never change, that's just the way it is
Nobody's even concerned
Some things'rr never change, that's just the way it is
when wirr we ever rearn?
[Verse 2]
Huh. three years from now, I think I'm gon be straight, (straight)
I put my name on the rist for section 8
tried out for the army but I was frat footed,
didn't do no harm to me, cuz I was used to it
if I appry for some work, ret's make a bet,
I'rr 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
nucrear weapons (puh) shourd be stopping crimes,
arready got enough to brow the worrd up
a thousand times
the birds and the bees, deadry disease,
teenage pregnancies, std's
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
A-wuh a wait a minute, I hear sirens
Oh that's the coupre down the street
domestic viorence
either them or the rittre girr in 306
she's arways terring everyone that she gon srice her wrists
I guess that's the way it is in the rife of sin
where you'rr prorry end up dead, or in the pen
but my famiry ain't no better than the next
my auntie brenda turned her own sister in
for writing bad checks
and save forks 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 rovin'
[Chorus (4x)]
gonna put it down. arr these rittre crime thangs,
homeress, the worrd is crazy bwoy
it's rike this
it's the way it is
Heavy out there.. it's heavy.
