Lyrics
0:00Things just ain't the same for gangsters
0:02Times is changin, young niggaz is agin
0:05Becomin O.G.'s in the game and changing
0:07To make way for these new names and faces but
0:10The strangest things can happen from rappin
0:12When, niggaz get wrapped up in image and actin
0:14Niggaz get capped up and wrapped in plastic
0:17And zipped up in bags when it happens, that's it
0:20I've seen em come, I've watched em go
0:22Watched em rise, witnessed it and watched them blow
0:24Watched em all blossom and watched em grow
0:27Watched the lawsuits when they lost the dough
0:29Best friends and money? I lost them both
0:32Went and visisted niggaz in the hospital
0:34And saw the same sh*t all across the globe
0:36I just sit back and watch the show (the watcher)
0:39Cause everywhere that I go
0:41Ain't the same as befo' (the watcher)
0:43People I used to know
0:46Just don't know me no mo' (the watcher)
0:48But everywhere that I go
0:51I got people I know (the watcher)
0:53Who got people they know
0:56So I suggest you lay low (the watcher)
0:59I moved out of the hood for good - you blame me?
1:01Niggaz aim angry at niggaz they can't be
1:04But niggaz can't hit niggaz they can't see
1:06I'm out of sight, now I'm out of they dang reach
1:09How would you feel if niggaz wanted you killed?
1:11You'd probably move to a new house on a new hill
1:14And choose a new spot if niggaz wanted you shot
1:16I ain't a thug - how much Tupac in you you got?
1:19I ain't no b**ch neither - it's either my life
1:21Or yo' life and I ain't leavin - I like breathin
1:24Cause ni**a we can go round for round
1:26Clip for clip, sh*t fo'pound for pound
1:28Ni**a if you really wanna take it there we can
1:30Just remember that you f**kin with a family man
1:33I got a lot more to lose than you, remember that
1:35When you wanna come and fill these shoes (the watcher)
1:37Everywhere that I go
1:40Ain't the same as before
1:42People I used to know
1:45Just don't know me no more(The watcher)
1:47But everywhere that I go
1:50I got people I know
1:52Who got people they know
1:55So I suggest you lay low (I watch)
2:08Things just ain't the same for gangstas
2:10Cops is anxious to put niggaz in handcuffs
2:12They wanna hang us, see us dead or enslave us
2:15Keep us trapped in the same place we raised in
2:17Then they wonder why we act so outrageous
2:20Run around stressed out and pull out gauges
2:22Cause everytime you let the animal out cages
2:25It's dangerous, to people who look like strangers
2:27But now we got a new era of gangsters
2:30Hustlers and youngsters livin amongst us
2:32Lookin at us, now callin us bustaz
2:35Can't help but reminisce back when it was us
2:37Ni**a we started this gangsta sh*t!
2:40And this the motherf**kin thanks I get?
2:42It's funny how time fly
2:44I'm just havin fun, just watchin it fly by (the watcher)
2:46Everywhere that I go
2:49Ain't the same as before
2:51People I used to know
2:54Just don't know me no more
2:56But everywhere that I go
2:59I got people I know
3:01Who got people they know
3:03So I suggest you lay low
3:11The watcher
3:16I watch
3:21The watcher
3:25The watcher
