Mommas tryna feed all the children
No good work for them to begin with
Been this way for each generation
That's just how it's been
Block she love on always a drive by
Police never help they just stand by
When she alone, break down and she cry
Is there any end
Some thangs never change
Some thangs never change
Some thangs never change
People hungry, people dyin
Some gotta run when they hear a siren cause they ain't treated like a citizen
Oh, some things never change
Mommas raisin the children because all the daddies in prison
Locked in the system ain't no winnin
You know some things never change
Some thangs never change
Some thangs never change
Some thangs never change
I see no changes
And they say the Jakes is racist
Nightcrawler's, Gyllenhaal killing boys crazy
Out of order, Minotaurs
Still we lost in mazes
Your leader bought
Feel like Mob Scripts from Scorsese
Jamal get the Prison walls
John get the dispensaries
Pot grows indoors
Like us in our late teens
I am from where they rape kids
Fortunate to escape it
No sanitation its bore holes and rape kits
Given the choice we'll take stakes in the matrix
Cuz Neo fascist burn stakes on our pavements
It's been like that since Regan and slave ships
Western cape 80s and state of emergency
Granny say patience, pray, read Galatians
Buddy say them pages great
For weed blazing
I keep tasting lemons the with each flavor
Make lemonade this XO need chasing
If the world don't change, it sure changed me
If you know my pain, it shortchanged me
Stark raving, dark days I found God's favor
Hands buried in low rain soil for Sun raisins
By the book or run jux we gone make it
Either booked or got booked to rock stages
I admire your stride nothing to play with,
Get rich or let Alonda sing at your grave pit
Anyway anyway you keep it goin
But anyway anyway you keep it goin
Anyway anyway you keep it goin
Even though some things never change
Anyway anyway you keep it goin
But anyway anyway you keep it goin
Anyway anyway you keep it goin
Even though some things never change
You always find a way to get you by
I admire your stride, I admire your stride
It's gon be fine, promise it's gon be alright
Keep shining your sunlight
Just keep shining your light
Some thangs never change
Some thangs never change
Some thangs never change
Anyway, anyway you keep it goin
