Dr.Dre - The Watcher |
|
Things just ain't the same for gangstas. |
|
Times is changing, young niggas is aging, |
|
Becoming old gees in the game and changing, |
|
To make way for these new names and faces, but |
|
The strangest things can happen from rappin, when |
|
Niggas get wrapped up in image and acting, |
|
Niggas get capped up and wrapped in plastic, |
|
Zipped up in bags when it happens, that's it. |
|
I've seen 'em come; I've watched 'em go, |
|
Watched 'em rise, witnessed it and watched 'em blow. |
|
Watched 'em all blossom and watched 'em grow. |
|
Watched the lawsuits when they lost the dough. |
|
Best friends and money: I lost them both. |
|
Went, visited niggas in the hospital. |
|
It's all the same shit all across the globe. |
|
I just sit back and watch the show. (The watcher) |
|
Chorus: |
|
Everywhere that I go |
|
Ain't the same as befo' (The watcher) |
|
People I used to know |
|
Just don't know me no more (The watcher) |
|
But everywhere that I go |
|
I got people I know (The watcher) |
|
Who got people they know |
|
So I suggest you lay low (I watch) |
|
I moved out of the hood for good, you blame me? |
|
Niggas aim mainly at niggas they can't be. |
|
But niggas can't hit niggas they can't see. |
|
I'm out of sight, now I'm out of they dang reach. |
|
How would you feel if niggas wanted you killed? |
|
You'd probably move to a new house on a new hill. |
|
And choose a new spot if niggas wanted you shot, |
|
I ain't a thug, how much Tupac in you, you got |
|
I ain't no bitch neither. |
|
It's either my life or your life, |
|
And I ain't leaving, I like breathing. |
|
Nigga we can go round for round, |
|
Clip for clip, shit, fo'-pound for pound. |
|
Nigga if you really want to take it there we can, |
|
Just remember that you ****ing with a family man. |
|
I got a lot more to lose than you, remember that, |
|
When you wanna come and fill these shoes. (The watcher) |
|
Chorus: |
|
Everywhere that I go |
|
Ain't the same as befo' (The watcher) |
|
People I used to know |
|
Just don't know me no more (The watcher) |
|
But everywhere that I go |
|
I got people I know (The watcher) |
|
Who got people they know |
|
So I suggest you lay low (I watch) |
|
Things just ain't the same for gangstas, |
|
Cops is anxious to put niggas in handcuffs. |
|
They wanna hang us, see us dead, enslave us, |
|
Keep us trapped in the same place we're raised in. |
|
Then they wonder why we act so outrageous, |
|
Run around stressed out and pull out gauges. |
|
Cause everytime you let the animal out cages, |
|
It's dangerous to people who look like strangers. |
|
But now we got a new era of gangstas, |
|
Hustlers and youngsters living amongst us. |
|
Lookin at us, now calling us busters, |
|
Can't help but reminisce back when it was us. |
|
Nigga we started this gangsta shit. |
|
And this the mother****ing thanks I get? |
|
It's funny how time fly, |
|
I'm just having fun, just watching it fly by. (The watcher) |
|
Chorus: |
|
Everywhere that I go |
|
Ain't the same as befo' (The watcher) |
|
People I used to know |
|
Just don't know me no more (The watcher) |
|
But everywhere that I go |
|
I got people I know (The watcher) |
|
Who got people they know |
|
So I suggest you lay low (I watch) |
|
(The watcher) |
|
End |
