This is based on 2Pac's song Changes.


Come on come on
I see no changes and I ask myself
Is Wikipedia down or is it just myself
I'm tired of being chased and even worse I can't fall back
Nothing but vandals and trolls shooting flak
Who gives a damn 'bout FAs that you wrote
Drive 'em out catch 'em up by the throat
Turning this free stuff into an empty shell
Got my mop and my power, like what the hell
First call the cabal on people I don't like
Gets way easier when you making the first strike
I don't care whoever happens to get hit
Start it up, step back and watch them eat some shit
"I hold to this 'till the day I die"
I know she said, but now she said good-bye
No chance of snowball fighting in hell, says policy
Unless we clear up this debris
Learn to see me as a friend 'stead of two distant strangers
And that's how it's supposed to be
How can we hold if we don't go together
I'd love to go back to the time where we played
But times have changed, and that's the way it is

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

I see no changes, all I see in ANI
Bunch of bile you gotta spit tonight
I sometimes wonder what it takes to end some drama
Even nice guys gotta suffer like Keilana
Got some people pushin' POV
Pseudoscience got the guns on guys that disagree
People foul as a gangrene blister
I once saw a guy just attack his fellow's sister
Guys who will stop at nothing to move from the fringe
Gonna make all their opposition cringe, uhh
It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
The vandals are all working behind our backs
But some things will never change
More guys are gonna get out and get deranged
Now tell me what my friends are gonna hafta do
Gonna depend now on me and you
Gotta operate in the right way
"Yo, I won the war" But at what cost are you gonna go
Just to get your stuff on this here wiki
Well hey, that's just the way it is

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

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we edit, let's change the way we discuss,
And let's change how we treat eachother.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to make this the free encyclopedia everyone can edit.


And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace
All I see is arbitration that will never ever cease
How can you AGF when you can't use it yourself
To bother other guys from their editing
I never had to arbitrate when I didn't have to
But now I'm back with the facts givin' it back to you
Don't let 'em jack you up, hack you up,
crack you up and pimp smack you up
You gotta learn to hold your own
They got jealous when you got thrown a bone
So tell those socks that 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
But why were you being such a fool
As long as I have my mop I have to stay strapped
And I just want to lay back
But I always fear about those spiteful packs
Some guy I blocked return with a vengeance
Stoppin at nothing to get me retired
Typin' tap-tap-tap-tap, hey, that's the way it is

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