what is that song called and who is it by where he says thats just the way it is things will never be the same

Answer 1

The Way It Is

(Bruce Hornsby)

Standing in line marking time--
Waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't buy a job
The man in the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes
Just for fun he says "Get a job"

That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
But don't you believe them

They say hey little boy you can't go
Where the others go
'Cause you don't look like they do
Said hey old man how can you stand
To think that way
Did you really think about it
Before you made the rules
He said, Son

That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
But don't you believe them

Well they passed a law in '64
To give those who ain't got a little more
But it only goes so far
Because the law don't change another's mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar

That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is,
That's just the way it is.

Answer 2

Is this the song you're thinking of?

Changes
2Pac

I see no changes

Wake up in the mornin and ask myself
Is life worth living, should I blast myself

I'm trying to be a boy and even worse I'm black
My stomach hurts so I'm looking for a purse to snatch

Cops give a damn about our needs bro
Pull the tigger kill a ******, he's a hero

Givin crack to the kids, who the hell cares
One less hungry mouth on the welfare

First ship em dope and let 'em deal with brothers
Give em guns, step back watch them kill each other

It's time to fight back, thats what Huey said
Two shots in the dark, now Huey's dead

I got love for my brother
But we could never go nowhere unless we share with each other

We gotta start making changes
Learn to see me as your brother 'stead of 2 distant strangers

And thats how its sposed to be
How can the devil take a brother if he's close to me

I let it go back to when we played as kids
But things change, thats the way it is

That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Ahh yeah

That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Ahh yeah

I see no changes

All i see is racits faces
Misplaced hate makes disgrace for races

We under

I wonder what it takes to make this
More better place lets erase the wasted

Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
Cause both black and white are smokin crack tonight

And the only time we chill is when we kill each other
It takes skills to be real trying to heal each other

And i know it seems heaven sent
We aint preped to see a black president

It aint a secret dont conceal the facts
The penatentury is back and its filled with blacks

But some things will never change
Try to show another way, but this thing, and then the dope gang

Now tell me what's a mother to do
Being real dont appeal to the brother in you

You gotta opperate the easy way
"I made a G today"
But you made it in a sleazy way
Sellin crack to a kid
"I gotta get paid"
Well hey, well thats the way it is

That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Ahh yeah

That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Ahh yeah

We gotta make a change
It's time for us as a people to start making some changes

Lets change the way we eat, lets change the way we live
And lets change the way we treat each other

You see the old way wasnt working
So its on us to do what we gotta do to survive

And still i see no changes
Cant a brother get a little peace

There's war on the streets
And a war in the middle east

'stead a war on poverty
They got a war on drugs so the police can bother me

And I aint never did a crime i aint have to do
But now i am back with the facts given em back to you

Dont let them jack you up back you up
Crack you up and pimp smack you up

Ya gotta learn to hold your own
They get jealous when they see you with your mobile phone

But tell the cops they cant touch this
I dont trust this when they try to rush I bust this

At the sound of my tune, You say it aint cool
My momma didnt raise no fool

And its wrong that this stayed black
I got to stage trap and i never get to lay back

Cause i alwayz gotta worry bout the pay back
Some thug that i roughed up way back

Commin back after all these years
Rat a tat tat tat tat

Thats the way it is

That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Ahh

That's just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That's just the way it is
Ahh yeah

Some things will never change

The Way It Is - Bruce Hornsby & the Range

Standing in line marking time
Waiting for the welfare dime
'Cause they can't find a job
The man in the silk suit hurries by
As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes
Just for fun he says "get a job"

CHORUS:
That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
Aw, but don't you believe them

They say hey little boy you can't go
Where the others go
'Cause you don't look like they do
Said hey old man how can you stand
To think that way
Did you really think about it
Before you made the rules
He said, Son

CHORUS

Well they passed a law in '64
To give those who ain't got a little more
But it only goes so far
Because the law don't change another's mind
When all it sees at the hiring time
Is the line on the color bar

You see the old way wasnt workin so
On us to do what we gotta do...to survive.

And still i see no changes
Cant a brother get a little peace?
Theres war on the streets, and a war in the middle east.
Steada war on poverty, they gotta war on drugs
So the police can bother me.
And i aint never did a crime i didnt have to do
But now im back in the locks givin it back to you
Dont let em jack you up, back you up, crack you up
And pimp smack you up.
You gotta learn to hold your own,
They get jealous when they see you with your mobile phone.
But tell the cops cant touch this, i dont trust this
When they try da rush, i bust this
At the sound of my two, you say it aint cool,
But mamma dint raise no fool.
And as long as i stay black, i gotta stay strapped
And i never get to lay back
Cuz i alwayz got to worry bout the payback.
So buffed in a roughed up way but,
