The Watcher Lyrics & Chords By Dr. Dre

Things just ain't the same for gangstas
Times is changing, young niggas is aging
Becoming OGs in the game and changing
To make way for these new names and faces
But the strangest things can happen from rapping
When niggas get wrapped up in image and acting
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 'em 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

Eminem and Knock-Turn'Al:
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 (I watch)

Dr. Dre:
I moved out of the hood for good, you blame me?
Niggas aim mainly at 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 they 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 2Pac 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, fo'-pound for pound
Nigga, if you really want to take it there, we can
Just remember that you fucking with a family man
I got a lot more to lose than you, remember that
When you wanna come and fill these shoes

Eminem and Knock-Turn'Al:
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 (I watch)

Dr. Dre:
Things just ain't the same for gangstas
Cops is anxious to put niggas 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 outand 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 gangstas
Hustlers and youngsters living amongst us
Lookin' at us, now calling us busters
Can't help but reminisce back when it was us
Nigga, we started this gangsta shit!
And this the motherfucking thanks I get?
It's funny how time fly
I'm just having fun just watching it fly by

Eminem and Knock-Turn'Al:
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 (I watch)

The watcher
The watcher
The watcher
The watcher
