  1. Changes - 2pac 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 and 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 * * * * * , he's a hero. Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares? One less hungry mouth on the welfare. First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers. Give 'em guns, step back, and 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 'stead 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 change, and that's the way it is. [bridge w/ changing ad libs] (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... [Repeat] I see no changes. All I see is racist faces. Misplaced hate makes disgrace for 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 mo' black than 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 they 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 kids. "I gotta get paid," Well hey, well that's the way it is. [bridge] [Talking 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? There'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 facts givin' 'em back to you. Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, crack you up and pimp smack 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 tune. You say it ain't cool, but 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 [bridge 'til fade] Some things never change
  2. Actually, since you keep bringing up the Bible, I've been watching something, one of many things I'm sure contesting it. One...I've never been "in" love, I hardly wonder if it even exists, or if it's just again...another blind faith that controls one's body to an infatuation of such power to another person, call it what you want...I still have yet to really believe it. I find it hard to trust others for one, because time and time again, I only see the strongest of relationships failing. The ONLY, and one and ONLY thing that contests it supposedly...are my own parents, who had some problems earlier in their marriage, then after they both began going to church...have never yet to have one of that same degree(ie. a problem that could have led to divorce easily). But again, even that isn't perfect, because any one person or two people could blindly believe together that some person/religion/book saved their marriage. Whatever it may be, ...8 years or so down the line from that very same church that "saved" their marriage, our entire family stopped going there because of some jealously of power between my mother and the pastor. Back to the bible though, you would agree again if I said, the bible isn't meant to be taken literally...correct? But there are so many stories in it that aren't even possible, or have any evidence of truth, but yet people who believe it with faith...you're fine, no one can touch you or disprove you because you're going to believe it that way. But those who have the slightest of doubt, if you really do your research, you'll find that many of those stories, truly are JUST stories. Did you know during the time that Jesus walked the earth...there was another messiah in another part of the world claiming the same things, with followers, and miracles? So...why is Jesus right? Just because he is in the most popular of books sold worldwide, his story is true and this other unknown messiah isn't? Another thing, in the bible, Jesus was born of the virgin Mary...right? So...think of your current girlfriend now(or if you dont have one, think of a past one)...if you and her hadn't engaged in sex, but she came to you tonight claiming she was pregnant...but also claimed God was the one who made her pregnant, would you believe her? Obviously...you should, because Joseph did...wow. That'd be some pretty hard news to believe...I'd be kicking her to the curb if that were me. I can keep going on...but again, these are things people believe because of faith, and nothing's going to change that. I just happened to be one of the one's who tried and tried, but never "got it"...so here I am now.
  3. Yes exactly, who's to say who's right and who's wrong? That's why I said..until death, or whatever end comes, no one will know. That's why I HATE that all religions believe so blindly that they're RIGHT, and everyone else is wrong. Okay..maybe that was a big generalization, but in most senses...that's how it goes, even if you don't outright tell everyone who follows a different religion. In your heart, you believe you're right, and in the end, that's what matters to you...so keep it that way. The point where you start crossing the line is ...telling others they're wrong and going to hell etc... (I especially hate those guys who come to my college campus and just rant and rave in the middlemost point of campus about sex/drugs/partying...you name it, they're ...in not so many words, butts) Honestly havent you ever heard?...if you want to get rich quick, start a religion. I mean, there are so many common rules between different religions, I'm not going to name them all...but in some context, almost all of them follow the same ones. I even have a link to a video online that talks about how religions use sex as one key to control followers(i.e. how it's bad before marriage, not with someone you're not in love with). If you want to see it, PM me I guess, but I dont think it may be appropriate to post for younger viewers(and that's not in my opinion, because I think censorship is a bad thing, and people should be able to see all of the world and not be confined, but that's up to the admins/mods).
  4. Yeah, I don't agree with it, since I was forced to go to church and such all through my childhood up til I was 18, angered me that my parents made me even though probably around the age of 13-14, I could have made my own decision. I tried for years to see and believe what they seem to believe so blindly(faith)....I never got it, and probably never will. As for judgement day, I know of the whole story, but really...like you said, all there really is...is faith. NO ONE knows the real answer, and NO ONE will ever know until the end of this world comes to(whether it be a real disaster, or just death)...and then, when that day comes...your questions may be answered...we'll all find out who was wrong and who was right.
  5. I didn't say you had to be ignorant, it's okay to KNOW what others think of you, the point is to NOT CARE. Not everyone is going to like you in this world, for one reason or another, -you can't please everyone, so don't try. So..if that person says that, who cares...? What makes them all of a sudden so sure on what makes a person a "freak"? I'm sure she does things personally others dont know about, but they may consider "weird" if she ever did them publicly. The idea is that this is all just based off OTHER's ideas, people believe anything...so what if you can take your full fist and put it in your mouth, I'd think that's cool, others might be thinking of some sexual innuendo at that time haha, but again...it's just all context, and how you view it. (and no, I have no idea if awdree could actually do that, dont ask or accuse lol)
  6. nope, I dont care what others think, I'm not out to prove myself to anyone...it's pointless, because who cares what they think, who said "they're" right, and what "they" say is wrong or weird, or normal, or whatever....it's just based off social norms by mass people(and again, who says they're "right"?). Anyways, yeah I had a great time proving that tonight(also kinda risked my job hah)...but no, live free, live happy, live careless of what others do and think about you, you'll be much happier.
  7. Wow...tough question...reality hit you there didnt it? My opinion, I'm not sure what I believe right now, but I'm leaning more towards agnostic also... If it were up to what I used to believe or was taught all through childhood, you should love your God more, but as myself now...I'd say you should love her more....then again, I don't even know if love exists, I've never been in it or felt it from what I can tell. This is your turning point though...now or never it may seem. As a person who doesn't believe what you believe, Dako's right...she feels 2nd or even lesser.
  8. Yep, just goes into the idea that people need to take more time and LISTEN...see it from the other person's point of view...most people are too set on never wanting to be wrong and would rather argue than face "facts." It's all about having an open mind...It's also about, like he said, the arguments that are actually 'constructive,' people get into too many pointless arguments about literally nothing. Some go that way and even forget in the first place what they fought about. Everyone has flaws, there's no reason to point out or hold them to each and every person...rather embrace and enjoy them, it's what makes us...who we are.
  9. yeah slumps suck, I understand. But...if anyone's gonna do it, I'll push you haha ...>>>>>>GO>>>>>> lol Venting may help from time to time to release all those feelings, but dont keep falling back on it though...or it's all you'll do.
  10. Man...advice isn't going to get you over your lonliness, you've got that all wrong. YOU have got to get over YOUR lonliness, there's nothing in this site that we can say to MAKE you do anything, you've just got to do it. Right now, you seem fine sitting around caring about what's going on with your ex...of course that's going to make you feel lonely. If you really want to DO something about it and stop hurting yourself, DO something... Like I said, I can't make you go out and try new things, meet others, whatever...you have got to make yourself do that. If you don't have that willingness to try, then you're not gonna get anywhere.
  11. Man you're torturing yourself, seriously, like she said above...you've got to stop looking at their pages, each time you give in you're only hurting yourself more. I got curious here and there and found my ex's online journal thing(BAD IDEA), you never want to know every single thought a person has about you....it'll drive you insane. I got hooked for a while too and kept looking at it, I finally realized I was only hurting myself by looking at every little detail of her life with and without me(glad it only took a little more than a couple weeks too). I haven't looked at it in months, even while we dated again...just a bad idea. Forget their passwords, and move on.
  12. Confidence comes with everything, you've got to be sure of yourself. You've got to KNOW that you don't care what anyone else thinks about you, and once you've realized that, then your confidence will shine. When you act how you want, say what you want, do as you please, you're being yourself...and that's confidence. As with anything in this world man, it's going to take practice, and yes you will more than likely fail before you succeed, but keep going at it and you CANNOT be afraid. Fear will control you, you've got to get past that. good luck
  13. lol yeah I agree with the fact she should get out of it....no matter the circumstances. anyways...dont compare relationship trust to police investigations. In this case, she was right...but if she had been wrong, and found nothing incriminating(if this was YOU), how badly would you feel about your privacy being invaded?
  14. I know it sounds bad, but you did go way past your boundaries in finding this out...even though in the end you seem to have found something out that you need to know. If he gets defensive, oh well, you found out. I'd just tell him you caught him, dont tell him how, and get out of it as soon as possible. But...even if you do tell him how you found out, it won't matter, it's not like things are going to end "well," so you dont have to feel bad about how you found out. It's bad that someone could cheat, it's even worse when they're lying about it...so, this isn't someone you really want to be with.
  15. Yeah I think I know what you mean, My ex is like that too. She claims different reasoning as to she acts like she does(I was the one who broke up)...but part of my reasoning in doing it is because she parties too much and doesn't know her limits well enough(I did trust her, but I'm not going to be there everytime she does this to take care of her, she relies on alcohol too heavily to deal with her problems). I'm not sure if every girl goes through it, but as a guy...I sort of went through it, but found out it really wasn't all life was about. I like to drink, I mean, I will party...but it's not like I used to even though I'm still in college. I see what girls mean in saying "what else is out there"(and so should you, so you dont sit around waiting for this girl), and I understand it...so I do date around, I'm not looking to settle down with one girl yet. I think you're better off man, you've got to let go, it's easier said than done, but she's not interested in a relationship, and the last thing you want to do is waste your time waiting for someone to come around. You're going to have to accept it and go meet others, you'll get through it as soon as you meet a few others girls and date around a little. Good luck!
