I remember, I remember, don't worry
How could I ever forget?
It's the first time, the last time
We ever met

Well, the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me

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 & even worse I'm black

My stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
Cops give a [bad word] about a negro
Pull the trigger kill a [bad word] he's a hero
Give the crack to the kids who the [bad word] cares

One less hungry mouth under welfare
First ship 'em dope & 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

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 makin' 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 changed, and that's the way it is
