E-40, Bo Roc - Things'll Never Change lyrics

Ah yeah (Ah ah ah yeah)
It's real (Ah yeah, Da da da da da da da)
Finna put it down (Ah yeah)
All these old crime thangs, homeless
(Da da da da da da da, da)
The world is crazy, boy
It's like this, that's the way it is
(La da da da da da da, da)
Heavy out there, it's heavy
(When will we ever learn?)

Was I really such a bad child? Did
I deserve to get hit with boards
And whooped with extension cords?
Did you forget that I was your creation
And all I wanted from you all was love, hope
And motivation?
Son, you're disrespectful and
You're talking back, get out my face
Kicked me out the house and wouldn't
Even let me plead my case
Now I'm homeless and I'm
Freezin' like the morgue
Only thing keeping me alive is the Lord
Needless to say it's times like this
I'd rather be locked up than
Drinkin' water out my hands and
Eatin' out of garbage cans
Can I come back home, huh, could I?
Son, you're on your own, why should I?

Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
Nobody's even concerned
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
When will we ever learn?

Huh, three years from now
I think I'm gon' be straight
I put my name on the list for Section 8
Tried out for the Army, but I was flatfooted
Didn't do no harm to me
'cause I was used to it
If I apply for some work, let's make a bet
I get denied 'cause 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 nuclear weapons?
(Puh, puh) Should be stopping crimes
Already got enough to blow the
World up a thousand times
The birds and the bees, deadly disease
Teenage pregnancies, STDs

Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
Nobody's even concerned
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is
When will we ever learn?

A wuh uh wait a minute, I hear sirens
Oh that's the couple down the street
Domestic violence
Either them or the little girl in 306
She's always telling everyone that she
Gon' slice her wrists
I guess that's the way it is
In the life of sin
Where you'll probably end up dead
Or in the pen
But my family ain't no better than the next
My auntie Brenda turned her own sister
In for writin' bad checks
And saved folks'll 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 lovin'

Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is (Way it is)
Nobody's even concerned (Even concerned)
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is (Way it is)
When will we ever learn?
(When will we ever learn?)
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is (Way it is)
Nobody's even concerned (Even concerned)
Some things'll never change
That's just the way it is (Way it is)
When will we ever learn?
(When will we ever learn?)

Learn, learn learn, learn
