Dr. Dre The watche Lyrics

"The Watcher"

[Dr. Dre]
Things just ain't the same for gangstas.
Times is changing, young n____s is aging,
Becoming old gees in the game and changing,
To make way for these new names and faces, but
The strangest things can happen from rappin, when
n____s get wrapped up in image and actin,
n____s 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 up high, suddenly watched em grow.
Watched the lawsuits when they lost the dough.
Best friends and money: I lost them both.
Went, visited n____s in the hospital.
It's all the same s___ all across the globe.
I just sit back and watch the show. (The watcher)

[Chorus:]
Everywhere that I go
Ain't the same as befo' (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)

[Dr. Dre]
I moved out of the hood for good, you blame me?
n____s ain't made me if n____s they can't be.
But n____s can't hit n____s they can't see.
I'm out of sight, now I'm out of they dang reach.
How would you feel if n____s wanted you killed?
You'd probably move to a new house on a new hill.
And choose a new spot if n____s wanted you shot,
I ain't a thug, how much Tupac in you, you got
I ain't no b____ neither.
It's either my life or your life,
And I ain't leaving, I like breathing.
n____ we can go round for round,
Clip for clip, s___, fo'-pound for pound.
n____ if you really want to take it there we can,
Just remember that you f___in 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]

[Dr. Dre]
Things just ain't the same for gangstas,
Cops is anxious to put n____s in handcuffs.
They wanna hang us, see us dead, 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 everytime you let the animal out cages,
It's dangerous to people who look like strangers.
But now we got a new era of gangstas,
Hustlers and youngsters livin amongst us.
Lookin at us, now callin us busters,
Can't help but reminisce back when it was us.
n____ we started this gangsta s___.
And this the m_________in thanks I get?
It's funny how time fly,
I'm just havin fun, just watchin it fly by. (The watcher)

[Chorus]
