[00:00.02] Dr.Dre - The Watcher
[00:00.52]
[00:02.39] Things just ain't the same for gangstas.
[00:02.99] Times is changing, young niggas is aging,
[00:04.96] Becoming old gees in the game and changing,
[00:07.38] To make way for these new names and faces, but
[00:09.86] The strangest things can happen from rappin, when
[00:12.63] Niggas get wrapped up in image and acting,
[00:14.98] Niggas get capped up and wrapped in plastic,
[00:17.23] Zipped up in bags when it happens, that's it.
[00:19.76] I've seen 'em come; I've watched 'em go,
[00:21.92] Watched 'em rise, witnessed it and watched 'em blow.
[00:24.69] Watched 'em all blossom and watched 'em grow.
[00:26.88] Watched the lawsuits when they lost the dough.
[00:29.31] Best friends and money: I lost them both.
[00:31.84] Went, visited niggas in the hospital.
[00:34.25] It's all the same shit all across the globe.
[00:36.77] I just sit back and watch the show. (The watcher)
[00:38.48]
[00:39.09] Chorus:
[00:39.57] Everywhere that I go
[00:41.08] Ain't the same as befo' (The watcher)
[00:43.82] People I used to know
[00:45.84] Just don't know me no more (The watcher)
[00:48.08] But everywhere that I go
[00:50.81] I got people I know (The watcher)
[00:53.23] Who got people they know
[00:55.40] So I suggest you lay low (I watch)
[00:57.45]
[00:58.06] I moved out of the hood for good, you blame me?
[01:01.47] Niggas aim mainly at niggas they can't be.
[01:04.01] But niggas can't hit niggas they can't see.
[01:06.33] I'm out of sight, now I'm out of they dang reach.
[01:08.94] How would you feel if niggas wanted you killed?
[01:11.43] You'd probably move to a new house on a new hill.
[01:13.99] And choose a new spot if niggas wanted you shot,
[01:16.49] I ain't a thug, how much Tupac in you, you got
[01:18.82] I ain't no bitch neither.
[01:20.37] It's either my life or your life,
[01:22.23] And I ain't leaving, I like breathing.
[01:23.78] Nigga we can go round for round,
[01:25.94] Clip for clip, shit, fo'-pound for pound.
[01:28.28] Nigga if you really want to take it there we can,
[01:30.61] Just remember that you fucking with a family man.
[01:33.20] I got a lot more to lose than you, remember that,
[01:35.84] When you wanna come and fill these shoes. (The watcher)
[01:38.07]
[01:38.55] Chorus:
[01:39.06] Everywhere that I go
[01:40.12] Ain't the same as befo' (The watcher)
[01:42.85] People I used to know
[01:44.89] Just don't know me no more (The watcher)
[01:47.56] But everywhere that I go
[01:50.15] I got people I know (The watcher)
[01:52.69] Who got people they know
[01:54.79] So I suggest you lay low (I watch)
[01:56.47]
[02:07.84] Things just ain't the same for gangstas,
[02:10.31] Cops is anxious to put niggas in handcuffs.
[02:12.93] They wanna hang us, see us dead, enslave us,
[02:15.25] Keep us trapped in the same place we're raised in.
[02:17.74] Then they wonder why we act so outrageous,
[02:20.02] Run around stressed out and pull out gauges.
[02:22.51] Cause everytime you let the animal out cages,
[02:24.86] It's dangerous to people who look like strangers.
[02:27.47] But now we got a new era of gangstas,
[02:30.06] Hustlers and youngsters living amongst us.
[02:32.37] Lookin at us, now calling us busters,
[02:34.91] Can't help but reminisce back when it was us.
[02:37.37] Nigga we started this gangsta shit.
[02:39.56] And this the motherfucking thanks I get?
[02:42.22] It's funny how time fly,
[02:44.49] I'm just having fun, just watching it fly by. (The watcher)
[02:46.88]
[02:47.29] Chorus:
[02:47.83] Everywhere that I go
[02:49.13] Ain't the same as befo' (The watcher)
[02:51.35] People I used to know
[02:53.91] Just don't know me no more (The watcher)
[02:56.10] But everywhere that I go
[02:58.68] I got people I know (The watcher)
[03:01.61] Who got people they know
[03:03.59] So I suggest you lay low (I watch)
[03:06.33]
[03:11.32] (The watcher)
[03:11.93]
[03:12.81] End
