[Dr. Dre]
|
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)
|
|
[Dr. Dre]
|
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)
|
|
Chorus

{*GUN SHOT*}

[Dr. Dre]
|
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)
|
|
Chorus
|
|
(the watcher - 4X)
