(Intro:) |

We would like for you to help us welcome a very distinguished speaker |

He hails from the DPG |
|
Would you please stand and welcome the one, the only |
|
OG Nate Dogg |
|
(Verse 1:) |
|
Now I was about eight when I caught my first case |
|
My mother she turned her back and bowed her head in disgrace |
|
Now I didn't do a thing, I was just standing by |
|
Here's a message to the youngsters today: standing by you can die |
|
Usually I'm in the house but today I snuck home |
|
And when I walk down the Long Beach streets, what a lesson they taught |
|
While walkin to the cornerstore a big mistake was made |
|
My big homey I was walkin with decided he needed to get paid |
|
So he loaded up his .32 and walked right in the store |
|
He said "Dear God, forgive me please but I can't be broke no more" |
|
Now remember I was just eight, I thought this was a joke |
|
What I'm sayin I ain't playin, it was funny til that nigga got smoked |
|
Can you guess who that could've been quite easily? |
|
but it wasn't so I'm lucky to be standing right here to see |
|
(Chorus:) |
|
One more day, one more |
|
One more day |
|
One more day, one more |
|
One more day |
|
(Verse 2:) |
|
One more day, I'm hangin around so I can see |
|
little Nate have a pocket full of money just like his daddy |
|
Everyday I'm sellin big dope, it's all that I know |
|
I ain't workin and I got a baby so don't axe me what for |
|
One more day, gather round everybody and listen to me |
|
I gotta another story about the penitentiary |
|
One more day, see while I was servin cavi I forgot to think |
|
Say for instance they catch me, little Nate'll never see |
|
Now remember I'm sellin big dope but I'm packin my thangs |
|
and every corner police watchin, I ain't crazy so I'm leavin the game (I'm |
|
leavin the game) |
|
But I guess I waited too late cos they just caught me |
|
Now I'm locked up, every mornin I am prayin for my son's safety |
|
One more day, I'd like to thank you for watchin over my D-O-double G's |
|
and would you keep an extra eye on Nate Dogg especially |
|
I guess I'll just continue liftin from day to day |
|
and if I live to see tomorrow, thankyou for one more day |
|
(Chorus to fade) |
