Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young "Ohio"
Lyrics
[Verse]
Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio
[Chorus]
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?
[Bridge]
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
[Chorus]
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?

Four dead in Ohio (How many more?)
Four dead in Ohio (What?)
Four dead in Ohio (Oh!)
Four dead in Ohio (Oh!)
Four dead in Ohio (What?)
Four dead in Ohio (Ah)
Four dead in Ohio
About song
“Ohio” is a 1970 protest song composed by Neil Young in reaction to the Kent State shootings, and performed by the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young quartet.
The incident took place on May 4, 1970 and became a sociopolitical symbolization during the Vietnam War. The sequence of events led to a nationwide anti-establishment student strike, forcing hundreds of colleges and universities to close.
The song was recorded a mere 17 days after the incident and, according to the recording engineer Bill Halverson, was done in (at most) 3 takes “with live vocal and live harmonies and everybody chiming in”.
Due to its “anti-war” and “anti-establishment” sentiments, the song was banned from some AM playlists in the United States.

2Pac - Changes ft. Talent
Lyrics
I see no changes, wake up in the morning and I ask myself
"Is life worth living? Should I blast myself?"
I'm tired of being poor and, even worse, I'm black
My stomach hurts so I'm looking for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
Pull the trigger, kill a ni**a, he's a hero
"Give the crack to the kids: who the hell cares?
One less hungry mouth on the welfare!"
First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal to brothers
Give 'em guns, step back, watch 'em kill each other
"It's time to fight back," that's what Huey said
Two shots in the dark, now Huey's dead
I got love for my brother
But we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other
We gotta start making changes
Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers
And that's how it's supposed to be
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
But things change... and that's the way it is
12[Talent:]
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is
Aww yeah
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is
Aww yeah
3[2Pac:]
I see no changes, all I see is racist faces
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under, I wonder what it takes to make this
One better place, let's erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people, they'll be acting right
'Cause both Black and White are smoking crack tonight
And the only time we chill is when we kill each other
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven-sent
We ain't ready to see a black president
It ain't a secret, don't conceal the fact:
The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change
Try to show another way, but you staying in the dope game
Now tell me, what's a mother to do?
Being real don't appeal to the brother in you
You gotta operate the easy way
"I made a G today," but you made it in a sleazy way
Selling crack to the kids
"I gotta get paid!", well hey, but that's the way it is
4[Talent:]
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is
Aww yeah
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is
Aww yeah
5[2Pac talking:]
We gotta make a change
It's time for us as a people to start making some changes
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
And let's change the way we treat each other
You see the old way wasn't working
So it's on us to do what we gotta do to survive
6[2Pac:]
And still I see no changes
Can't a brother get a little peace?
It's war on the streets and a war in the Middle East
Instead of war on poverty
They got a war on drugs so the police can bother me
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
But now I'm back with the facts giving it back to you
Don't 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 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, my mama didn't raise no fool
And as long as I stay black, I gotta stay strapped
And I never get to lay back
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the payback
Some buck that I roughed up way back
Coming back after all these years
"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat!" That's the way it is
7[Talent:]
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is
Aww yeah
(You're my brother, you're my sister)
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is
Aww yeah dont leave gaps
About song
In the realm of hip-hop, few artists wielded influence as powerfully as Tupac Shakur, known to the world as 2Pac. 'Changes' is one of the most iconic songs released by 2Pac. His ability to see the world through a lens different than this own is what made him different from other rappers of that time. He not only saw and wrote about his personal experiences but about the one's around him suffering the same inequalities and discrimination. He channeled his thoughts through music making it a powerful message of protest to hear to .
"Changes" came out after 2Pac's death in 1998. It used music from another song and had lyrics that made people think. From racial inequality to police brutality, 2Pac fearlessly tackled the pressing issues plaguing society, urging for change and justice.
The song opens with the lines: "Come on, come on, I see no changes, wake up in the morning and I ask myself, 'Is life worth livin'? Should I blast myself?'" .These words by tupac talk about the daily struggle and thoughts that he has , he goes on about the good scarcity they face and even worse being black in those times couldn't guarantee you a meal for the day.
"Cops give a damn .....One less hungry mouth on the welfare!"
Here in these lines he talks about police brutality and how killing a black man for a police officer was equal to being a hero . How these cops didn't give a damn about the kids who were addicted,he says "one less hungry mouth on the welfare", they wanted the kid to die because then there would be one less to feed.
"We gotta make a change......So it's on us to do what we gotta do to survive".
Throughout "Changes," 2Pac emphasizes the cyclical nature of oppression, lamenting the lack of progress despite the passage of time.
"We ain't ready to see a black president."
This line reflects the societal skepticism and doubt surrounding the idea of a black person holding the highest office in the United States. It speaks to the systemic racism and barriers faced by African Americans in pursuing positions of power and leadership.
However, 2Pac also expresses hope for change, stating:-
"It ain't a secret, don't conceal the fact that penitentiaries packed in this field with blacks."
Here, he acknowledges the disproportionate incarceration rates of black individuals and the challenges they face in the criminal justice system.
"And still I see no changes, can't a brother get a little peace? There's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East."
Here, he draws parallels between the struggles faced by African Americans and those endured by people worldwide, highlighting the interconnectedness of social justice movements.
"Changes" serves as a call to action, urging listeners to rise up and demand change. 2Pac advocates for unity and empowerment within marginalized communities.
"We gotta start makin' changes, learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers."
His words resonate with a sense of urgency, imploring individuals to challenge the status quo and strive for a better future.
"Changes" has become a song of protest and hope for many. Its words inspire people to stand up against unfairness and fight for what's right. Even though 2Pac is no longer with us, his message lives on, reminding us to keep working for a better world.

The thunderous rumble'
'Do you hear me roar?'
'The thunderous rumble'
'Do you hear me roar?'
'A mighty boom blares within'
'Unfolds before me unseen trails’
'I cast away the past'
'Do you hear me roar?'
'A mighty boom blares within'
'Unfolds before me unseen trails’
'I cast away the past'
'Do you hear me roar?'
'The thunderous rumble'
'Do you hear me roar?'
'The thunderous rumble'
‘My voice makes a statement about me, every single moment’
'Prevails high over seas and hills’
'It beats not for others... It stops not drumming in my ears'
'It halts not for anyone... Knows not, my heart, any fear'
'It rises to life, like a Phoenix reborn'
'It resounds heartily, over my trodden path'
'It is the sound of fish cutting through the net'
'It is the sound of my growl chasing away the shadows'
'As the wise forebears whisper gently near the ear'
'As the dawning light dazzle brightly near the eye'
'As the sound of thrashing moans of pain near the heart'
'My yearning to live shows the path to my star'
'The thunderous rumble'
'Do you hear me roar?'
'The thunderous rumble'
'Do you hear me roar?'
'The chirp of the crickets ushers the noises of the night'
'The crack of the dawn heralds the sounds of the day'
'The call of the bird is the song of the sky'
'The beat of the drum is the anthem of life'
'The thunderous rumble'
'Do you hear me roar?'
'The thunderous rumble'
'Do you hear me roar?'
'Begone, bygone notions... Welcome, brand-new dreams'
'The Earth trembles as my great king steps up to reign supreme'
'Let traitors be revealed... Let deceivers be punished'
'Let the battle begin'
'Eyes ablaze, sparks make a haze, dusky hands unite'
'To reach your dream, to open up doors, to be born again'
'What makes things happen, I know now... My path unfolds'
‘To make my voice soar, Maamannan will be beside me forevermore!
'O Manna'
'Maamanna'

'Maamanna'
'A mighty boom blares within'
'Unfolds before me new trails'
'I cast away the past'
'Do you hear me roar?'
'A mighty boom blares within'
'It opens up a new path'
'I cast away the past'
About song
The lyrical video features black-and-white visuals of Arivu recording the song with a few glimpses of Udhayanidhi Stalin and Vadivelu from what appear to be the sets of the movie. The visuals had Vadivelu and Udhayanidhi Stalin getting suited up and posing with much swag.
The title of the song, 'Manna Maamanna' is introduced quite late in the track, but when it finally arrives, it dominates the entire composition, making the track quite memorable.
'Manna Maamanna' also marks the first collaboration between Rahman and Mari Selvaraj
The initial lines of the song suggest the emergence of a character's rebellion and his eventual liberation from his troubled past. The lyrics focus on the word ‘oosa’, which means voice—the voice that comes from within; the voice of race, of place, of everything that people use to discriminate against others. The lyrics further speak about heeding to the voice from within and how this voice prompts one to let go of the past.
