The Watcher |
Things just ain’t the same for gangsters |
Times is changin young niggaz is agin |
Becomin O.G.'s in the game and changin |
to make way for these new names and faces but |
the strangest things can happen from rappin |
when niggaz get wrapped up in image and actin |
Niggaz get capped up and wrapped in plastic |
and 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 them 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 and visisted niggaz in the hospital |
and saw the same shit all across the globe |
I just sit back and watch the show (the watcher) |
Chorus: Dr. Dre |
Cause everywhere that I go ain’t the same as befo'(the watcher) |
People I used to know |
just don’t know me no mo'(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 (the watcher) |
I moved out of the hood for good — you blame me? |
Niggaz aim angry at niggaz they can’t be But niggaz can’t hit niggaz they can’t see |
I’m out of sight, now I’m out of they dang reach |
How would you feel if niggaz wanted you killed? |
You’d probably move to a new house on a new hill |
and choose a new spot if niggaz 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 yo’life and I ain’t leavin — I like breathin |
Cause nigga we can go round for round |
Clip for clip, shit fo’pound for pound |
Nigga if you really wanna take it there we can |
Just remember that you fuckin 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) |
Things just ain’t the same for gangstas |
Cops is anxious to put niggaz in handcuffs |
They wanna hang us, see us dead or enslave us Keep us trapped in the same place we 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 gangsters |
Hustlers and youngsters livin amongst us Lookin at us, now callin us bustaz |
Can’t help but reminisce back when it was us Nigga we started this gangsta shit! |
And this the motherfuckin thanks I get? |
It’s funny how time fly |
I’m just havin fun, just watchin it fly by (the watcher) |
(the watcher — 4X) |
