The First Time...Roberta Flack

Just ran through my mind. Probably change in 5 minutes. Woman's prerogative, you know.

Changes - Tu Pac

Come on come on
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 damn about a negro
pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
one less ugly mouth on the 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

Come on come on
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is
aww yeah

I see no changes all I see is racist faces
misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
one better place, let's erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight
and only time we chill is when we kill each other
it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
Now tell me what's a mother to do
bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
You gotta operate the easy way
"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way
sellin' crack to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"
Well hey, well that's the way it is

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.

And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace
It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
so the police can bother me
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
crack you up and pimp slap you up
You gotta learn to hold ya own
they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
But tell the cops they can't touch this
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
my mama didn't raise no fool
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
& I never get to lay back
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
some buck that I roughed up way back
comin' back after all these years
rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh

Not my favorite, but one that certainly deserves consideration is that old Kansas song, "Dust in the Wind". Depressing but true, great writing and outstanding production.

Janis Joplin Me and Bobby McGee

Busted flat in baton Rouge
Waiting for a train
And I was feeling nearly faded as my jeans...
Bobby thumbed a desiel down, just before it rained
and rode us all the way to New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon
out of my dirty red bandana
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues, uh huh
Windsheild wipers slappin time
I was holding Bobby's hand in mine
and we sang every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing it ain't nothing honey,if it aint free, yeah
Feeling good was easy ,oh when he sang the blues
You know feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby Mcgee

From the Kentucky coal mines, to the California sun
Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather,
to every thing we'd done
Yeah Bobby baby helped me through the whole world

One day up near salinas sno oh
I let him slip away
He's looking for that home, and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all of my tommorows,
for one single yesterday
To be holding bobbys body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing, and that's all that Bobby left me
Feeling good was easy ,lord when he sang the blues
Cause feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

Creed--My Sacrifice.

i swear it's the story of my sister and me--everytime i hear it, i still cry.

El Kabong

C'mon everybody, I can't believe nobody mentioned the best song of all time

Those lyrics, that haunting melody

With a happy, flowing lilt.

From house to house, from door to door, Je-ho-vah's Word we spread.
From town to town, from farm to farm, Je-ho-vah's "sheep" are fed
This good news that God's king-dom rules, As Je-sus Christ fore-told
Is be-ing preached through-out the earth ;By Chris-tians young and old
From house to house, from door to door Sal-va-tion we pro-claim
It comes up-on all those who call UYp-on Je-ho-vah's name.
But how can they call on the name of One they do not know?
So to their hous-es and their doors The Sa-cred Name must go.
Of course it's not at ev-'ry door We find a hear-ing ear;
At times their is a scold-ing tounge, and those who will not hear.
'Twas just the same in Je-sus' day, Not all would hear his word.
He said his "sheep" would hear his voice; hence we are not de-terred

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Musical Interlude>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Then let us go form door to door to spread the King-dom news.
And wheth-er they are "sheep" or "goats" we'll let the peo-ple choose.
At least we'll name Je-ho-vah's name, His glo-rious truths de-clare
And as we go from door to door, We'll find his "sheep" are there.

After typing all that, I need to go barf

best song of all time
