Tupac Shakur’s ‘Changes’ Lyrics – XXL

[ad_1] Tupac Shakur's "Changes" arrived posthumously in 1998, two years after his tragic death in Las Vegas in 1996. The track, which features Talent, appears on Tupac's Greatest Hits album and represents socioeconomic struggles for Black America.

With bars placed over soulful piano keys, while Talent holds down the melodic chorus, the California-bred rapper delivers the perfect song to sum up the times on subject matter...

Every Song on Tupac Shakur’s All Eyez on Me Album Ranked

The LP showcases ’Pac in all of his Gemini multitudes, bigger, bolder and better. He could be vengeful one moment, as demonstrated on "Ambitions Az a Ridah" and "When We Ride," and...
