Lyrics

[Intro: E-40, Bo-Roc & DMC] Aw, yeah (Aw— Aw— Aw, yeah) It's real (Da-da-da, da-da-da-da, aw, yeah) Finna put it down (Aw, yeah) All these old crime thangs, homeless (Da-da-da, da-da-da-da) The world is crazy, boy (Da) It's like this, that's the way it is, uh (La-da-da, da-da-da-da, da) Heavy out there, it's heavy (When will we ever learn?) [Verse 1: E-40] 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? [Chorus: Bo-Roc & E-40] 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) [Verse 2: E-40] 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 [Chorus: Bo-Roc] 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? [Verse 3: E-40] A-wa-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' [Chorus: Bo-Roc] Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is (The way it is) Nobody's even concerned (Even concerned) Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is (The 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 (The way it is) Nobody's even concerned (Even concerned) Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is (The way it is) When will we ever learn? (When will we ever learn?) [Outro: Bo-Roc] Learn, learn Learn, learn
