Start Jamming...
[Bm] [Bb] [D]
[Em] [D]
[G] I'm gonna make a change for once [Gm] in my life.
[Dm] I [G]
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.
[D] Cops give a damn about [G] a negro, pull a trigger, kill a nigga, he's [C] a hero.
Get [Gm] a crack to the kids who the hell cares, one less hungry mouth on [G] the welfare.
First ship them, don't let them deal with brothers.
Give them guns, step back, watch them kill each other.
It's time to fight back, that's what Huey [C] said.
Two shots in the dark, now [Am] Huey's dead.
I got love for my brothers, but we can never [G] go nowhere unless we share with each other.
We gotta start making changes, learn to see me as your brothers that are two [Am] distant strangers.
And that's how it's supposed to [G] be.
How can another take a brother if he's close to [C] me?
I let it go back to when we played as kids, but they [D] ain't that.
I don't want, I don't want, I [G] don't want no.
I'm starting [C] with them, [G]
asking [C] him to change [G] his ways.
I know my [C] son's gonna be [A] a little clever.
[D] If you wanna make a world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change.
I [G] see no saving, [D] all I see is racist [Em] faces.
[D] Misplaced hate, things displaced and [G] racist.
We under, I wonder what it takes to make this.
One better place, let's [D] erase the [G] wasted.
Take [D] the evil out the people, they'll [Em] be acting right.
Cause both black and white, let's smoke [C] a crack tonight.
And [G] the only time we chill is when we kill each [C] other.
It takes a human to be [G] real time to heal each other.
And if [D] all seems heaven [Em] sent, we ain't ready.
[D] Cause he's black president, [C] and ain't a secret, don't conceal the [C] fact.
Benefits we spat, and it's filled with [Am] blood.
But some things will never [G] change.
Try to show another thing, but it's staying in the [C] gold, yeah.
Now tell me what's a [G] mother to do?
Being real don't appeal to the brother in [Am] you.
You gotta operate the easy way.
[Bm] I made a G [G] today.
But you made it in a [C] sleepy way.
Sell a crew to the [G] king.
Well that's the way it is.
Nothing [C] good for man [G] in the middle.
Asking [C] him to change [G] his way to live.
I know my [C] son's gonna be a [Db] little clever.
[Dm] If you [G] wanna make a [C] world a better place, take a [G] look at yourself and make a change.
I'm a smart thing, [C] not a [G] man in the mirror.
Asking [C] him to [G] change his way.
I know my [C] [A] son's gonna be a little clever.
[Dm] If you wanna make a world a better place, take a look at yourself and [Ab] make a change.
I don't see no change, but here the bubba get a little [Db] heat.
This war on the [Ab] streets and the war in the middle heat.
Instead of war on policy, [Db] they got a war on drugs.
[Ab] Well the police can borrow me.
And I never did a crime I ain't [Db] have to do.
But now I'm [D] back with the facts and I'm [F] not so cute.
So let them jack you up, back you up, track you up, the pipsmith you up.
You gotta learn to hold your own.
They get jealous when they see you with your mobile [Ab] phone.
Metallica can't trust this.
[Db] I don't trust this.
When [Ab] they try to rush I bust this.
That's a sound of my tomb.
You say [Db] it ain't cool.
My [Ab] mama didn't raise no fool.
And as long as the stage blocks, [Dbm] I got a stage top.
[D] And I never get to [F] lay back.
Cause I [Ebm] always got the money but I'm paid back.
[Ab] Some books that I wrote got way back.
Coming [Eb] back after [Fm] all these years.
Right, ta ta [Eb] ta ta.
[Ab] That's the [Db] real deal.
[Eb] [Db] [Eb] It's gonna feel [Ab] real good.
