2pac "Changes"

[Ashyneezz]

its life worth living?


should i blast myself?

I'm tired of being poor

And even worse I'm black

 

[Ron Fox]

And we still wasn't ready, tho

That doesnt make sense.


U cant not be ready for something thats already in motion.

Your 8 months pregnant and going into labor...the baby is coming now...U dont say "well its only 8 months and i'm in the middle of shopping...i'm not ready"...No its happening and its in motion.

U cant be shot dead from a stray bullet and have ya spirit floating upwards going "im not ready to die tho".....its already in motion..u dead.

 

[the cac mamba]

Tell the cops they can’t touch this I don’t trust this when they try to rush I buss this

That beat is classic Pac. I wonder if he had any involvement with that selection.

when was it recorded? its funny you say that because i always kinda assumed it came off like a posthumous track

 

[James Dean]

Just got through playing the Bruce Hornsby sample and went straight to this after.

You can have a baby and not be ready to raise a child.

Race relations wise/psychologically, it happened, but we wasn't ready

I just did some research. Apparently it did come out posthumously in 98 but Pac recorded it in 92 using that Bruce Hornsby sample. They just added a few things to the beat for this version.

Who is this 'we'? The child is grown now and if u didnt raise the child right thats on u. My child is good over here so this isnt a 'we' thing its an individual basis thing. You probably wasnt ready but I was good. Dont include me in this "we" that saw no progress in life during Obamas 8 year term. I'm not in the losing crowd..i'm in the winners circle.

Do your thang, man

Do your thang, man

When BET had American Gangster in the Gangster Disciples episodes they asked some young GDs what do u think of Larry Hoover trying to change what he started into something more positive? Those young bulls looked in the camera and said "we dont want change we want things to stay the way it is and he might get killed coming around here talking about change"

There's no changing that type of thinking and there never will be......Thats what u walk away from and leave alone.....Let them stay in their world while I'm over here doing me. But never include me with them.

[Virtuous_Brotha]

First pac track i heard
Why he had to beat on orlando

 

[Kinguno]

A little out of date tho because we just had a Black president for 8 years. That was a change.

I mean he wrote in 1994

In 1993's Out on Bail he talks about police using chokeholds then in 2014 The murder of Eric Garner by chokehold
