Tupac’s song “Changes” was originally recorded in 1992 and 28 years later, nothing has changed.

Hey, if you didn’t bat a fucking eye at the Texas basketball team that went on a rampage, destroying public and private property and some of the players even getting arrested afterwards, over getting into the top two in March Madness, shut the fuck up about the riots now.

They were celebrating getting into the finals of something they didn’t even fucking win, we’re trying to get the right to fucking stay alive. If you care more about the destruction in these protests than you did the destruction caused by those college kids, then maybe it’s not about property destruction being wrong.

Maybe, just fucking maybe, it’s about keeping people down and silencing voices of people who you don’t give a shit about. Just fucking saying

Starin’ in my mirror, this reflection not matching up

Losin’ my shit, a crisis hits

I was raised to be good

So what’s my problem now?

I guess it’s that I create them and don’t solve ‘em

The cynic in me just wants to be a critic

I’m ventin’, screamin’ at my reflection

Can’t say I didn’t expect it

Shit don’t go away, just cuz you repress it

It’s impressive, though

How hard I tried to fake that smile

When I got my first girlfriend

But when we split up by year’s end

Is when I really felt it

Fuck’s this hand I was dealt in

Now I feel helpless

Can’t help the person in the reflection

The water’s closing in, so’s the end

I can feel it

My heart’s as beaten as I am, when I realize I’m fucked

This shit hasn’t worked, new plan

Now I’m as broken as my mind

I’m losing time like it’s patience with myself

Help me, I can’t see

Who’s in the mirror

Still couldn’t be clearer, could it?

It’s pretty obvious

I’m an abomination to the human race

I still deny it, but it’s hard to fight it

Cuz my feelin’s are multiplyin’, as I’m eyein’

Ghosts from my past dance in the flames

In my mind, as I combat this shit

Yeah, it’s ludacris, not lucrative

My demons battle with my good sense

It’s worthless, though, shit

I know it, but part of me hopes that

When I’m being honest, that this is all shit

Maybe it’s a joke I don’t get, that’s it

Like, I got high and someone told me I like-

I mean have nice eyes, that don’t make sense

But, hey, do I?

It’s bull shit, though

Now I wish I could just get home

But I don’t have one

I’m getting’ burnt out, I’ll just get turnt out

Can’t track my emotions, just lose count

So mentally checked out, but still engaged

In the war I’m fightin’

The world outside can’t find out

What’s in my hideout

Then I’ll lose it all, right out

It’s far out how thick into it I am

My intuition says to say it

But this shit is intimate

I’m losin’ it, but fake me’s feelin’ great

There’s no debate, though

There’s no way hoe, they’re way slow

But who know, I could just drive down the way, though

And off a bridge

That’s too dramatic of a tactic

Don’t go batshit and blow it now

Hold it down, fuckin’ clown

I’m gonna blow up, destroy the shit around me

Tears streakin’, as I realize he’s my weakness

I can’t believe he got to me like this

Heart weak, knees bucklin’

Now I’m in trouble and I can’t relax

Cuz I faced the facts and realized I’m a-

Fuck it, it’s something

That I’m still opposed, still been exposed

Redder than a clown’s nose

Haven’t even known ‘em that long

But I’m still ready to self destruct

Can’t combust over a no one

But he’s someone, to me anyway

I can’t believe I let this mother fucker ruin me

There’s trouble brewin’ now, and though I try to

Hide it from hide it from him, he’s gonna realize soon

I feel the urge to relapse

Pain’s near too much to handle

But I can’t fuck up, now, can I?

Can’t keep my head straight- it’s not alone in that

My world view’s crooked, too

It’s so skewed like that one screw in my head loose

I guess the monster in the closet was me

It hurts to see that I’m what I was runnin’ from all my life

Shit ain’t right that I have to hide away

This part of me inside

I don’t have this beef with others, just myself

Guess  it’s what I deserve for putting me through hell

My head is scrambled, but on the bright side

I at least have one hand hold

This one man folded my life up, now it’s trash

But I still let him, so it’s my fault I’m all miss matched

It’s what I get for pushing it down my whole life

After enough time, I knew I’d break downs and just explode, right

I guess logically, but it’s not all black and white

I was young and scared, then I grew up an it got outta hand

I know I’m a failure, my God

No companion can save me from that…

Shit stack that goes on in my head

Clock strikes *DING*, I’m back in again

It’s 3 am, the witching hour, but I’ve been haunted

For years before it got here

The walls are closin’ in, I can’t breathe

I’m stranglin’ myself in my own thoughts

My mind won’t rest, so fuckin’ stressed

I wonder what’d happen if I told another soul

But almost no one knows

Fuck it

It’s been the longest time

I’m gettin’ ready to be honest

It’ll be fine, I hope

Can’t keep the bottled up any longer

My will’s still stronger than I thought

I almost broke down in the early years

Was close to tears that one night

It was a rough fight, but I made it, didn’t I?

Cuz I had to, but times have changed

I know that, I’m safe now, it’s okay

It’ll be alright if I tell the world this

Please listen, okay, it’s important

I have to be honest now

I’m gay

[singing]

Forgive me, don't forget me (x10)

I'm sorry

Thoughts on old vs new school rap

Old school is best 100! There’s still some really good current rappers!
