The Watcher Lyrics - Dr. Dre 2001 - Dr. Dre

Things just ain't the same for gangsters 

Times is changing, young niggas is agin' 

Becoming old Gs in the game and changin' 

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 actin' 

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 them 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)

Everywhere that I go 

Ain't the same as before (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 ain't made me if 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 their 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 

'Cause nigga we can go round for round 

Clip for clip, shit, for pound for pound 

Nigga if you really want to 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) 

Everywhere that I go 

Ain't the same as before (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 gangsters 

Cops is anxious to put niggas in handcuffs 

They wanna hang us, see us dead and 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 every time 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 busters 

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 flies 

I'm just havin' fun, just watchin it fly by (The watcher) 

Everywhere that I go 

Ain't the same as before (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 

I watch 

The watcher
