Lyrics
**Title: "Game Ain’t Changed"**
*(Classic 2Pac-style West Coast beat kicks in: deep bass, G-funk synth, and sharp snares)*
**[Verse 1: 2Pac-style flow]**
Uh, picture me rollin’, ridin’ through the city of sin,
Where the struggle never sleeps, and the hustle begins.
From the bottom to the top, I was raised in the fight,
In the land of broken dreams, but I’m still in the light.
Politicians talkin’, but they don’t feel the pain,
They stackin’ cash while we stuck in the rain.
Media twistin’, tryin’ to flip the script,
But we see through the lies, they ain't slick with the grip.
Ain’t no justice, still we screamin’ for peace,
But when the cops roll up, man, it’s never gon’ cease.
Streets talkin’, I can hear it clear as day,
Young souls gettin’ lost, tryin’ to find a way.
They wanna see us fall, but we rise from the ground,
They can’t silence us, we still makin’ that sound.
Life’s a chessboard, it’s all a dirty game,
But the pieces keep movin’, the struggle stay the same.
**[Chorus: 2Pac-style hook with female backing vocals]**
The game ain't changed, it’s just the faces that switch,
They stack the deck, but we still in the mix.
Ridin’ through the pain, fightin’ for a name,
In this cold, cold world, we still bring the flame.
The game ain't changed, we keep pushin' on,
Survivin' through the struggle from dusk ‘til dawn.
They wanna break us, but we never gon’ fold,
Pac still livin’, you can feel it in your soul.
**[Verse 2: 2Pac-style flow]**
I was raised in the fire, where the streets get hot,
Had to learn how to fight with everything I got.
System rigged against us, tryna keep us down,
But we warriors, we rise, never stay underground.
From the ‘hood to the stage, I spit truth for the youth,
While they feedin’ ‘em lies, I be searchin’ for proof.
They lock us up, throw away the key,
But they can’t cage the mind, homie, I’m still free.
They fear the power we hold in these streets,
But we united, can’t nobody defeat.
Got love for my people, every ghetto I rep,
For the ones locked down, man, I never forget.
They got money, but we got heart and soul,
Can’t buy that with gold, we break outta control.
From L.A. to the Bay, worldwide with the sound,
Keep Pac alive, we ain’t ever backin’ down.
**[Chorus: 2Pac-style hook with female backing vocals]**
The game ain't changed, it’s just the faces that switch,
They stack the deck, but we still in the mix.
Ridin’ through the pain, fightin’ for a name,
In this cold, cold world, we still bring the flame.
The game ain't changed, we keep pushin' on,
Survivin' through the struggle from dusk ‘til dawn.
They wanna break us, but we never gon’ fold,
Pac still livin’, you can feel it in your soul.
**[Bridge: 2Pac-style spoken word]**
Yeah, you know how we do,
Still standin’, still fightin’.
They can try to break us, but we rise above,
Forever. Pac’s legacy don’t die, we keep pushin’ through.
