[00:02.39]Things just ain't the same for gangstas.
[00:02.99]Times is changing, young niggas is aging,
[00:04.96]Becoming old gees in the game and changing,
[00:07.38]To make way for these new names and faces, but
[00:09.86]The strangest things can happen from rappin, when
[00:12.63]Niggas get wrapped up in image and acting,
[00:14.98]Niggas get capped up and wrapped in plastic,
[00:17.23]Zipped up in bags when it happens, that's it.
[00:19.76]I've seen 'em come; I've watched 'em go,
[00:21.92]Watched 'em rise, witnessed it and watched 'em blow.
[00:24.69]Watched 'em all blossom and watched 'em grow.
[00:26.88]Watched the lawsuits when they lost the dough.
[00:29.31]Best friends and money: I lost them both.
[00:31.84]Went, visited niggas in the hospital.
[00:34.25]It's all the same shit all across the globe.
[00:36.77]I just sit back and watch the show. (The watcher)
[00:38.48]
[00:39.09]Chorus:
[00:39.57]Everywhere that I go
[00:41.08]Ain't the same as befo' (The watcher)
[00:43.82]People I used to know
[00:45.84]Just don't know me no more (The watcher)
[00:48.08]But everywhere that I go
[00:50.81]I got people I know (The watcher)
[00:53.23]Who got people they know
[00:55.40]So I suggest you lay low (I watch)
[00:57.45]
[00:58.06]I moved out of the hood for good, you blame me?
[01:01.47]Niggas aim mainly at niggas they can't be.
[01:04.01]But niggas can't hit niggas they can't see.
[01:06.33]I'm out of sight, now I'm out of they dang reach.
[01:08.94]How would you feel if niggas wanted you killed?
[01:11.43]You'd probably move to a new house on a new hill.
[01:13.99]And choose a new spot if niggas wanted you shot,
[01:16.49]I ain't a thug, how much Tupac in you, you got
[01:18.82]I ain't no bitch neither.
[01:20.37]It's either my life or your life,
[01:22.23]And I ain't leaving, I like breathing.
[01:23.78]Nigga we can go round for round,
[01:25.94]Clip for clip, shit, fo'-pound for pound.
[01:28.28]Nigga if you really want to take it there we can,
[01:30.61]Just remember that you fucking with a family man.
[01:33.20]I got a lot more to lose than you, remember that,
[01:35.84]When you wanna come and fill these shoes. (The watcher)
[01:38.07]
[01:38.55]Chorus:
[01:39.06]Everywhere that I go
[01:40.12]Ain't the same as befo' (The watcher)
[01:42.85]People I used to know
[01:44.89]Just don't know me no more (The watcher)
[01:47.56]But everywhere that I go
[01:50.15]I got people I know (The watcher)
[01:52.69]Who got people they know
[01:54.79]So I suggest you lay low (I watch)
[01:56.47]
[02:07.84]Things just ain't the same for gangstas,
[02:10.31]Cops is anxious to put niggas in handcuffs.
[02:12.93]They wanna hang us, see us dead, enslave us,
[02:15.25]Keep us trapped in the same place we're raised in.
[02:17.74]Then they wonder why we act so outrageous,
[02:20.02]Run around stressed out and pull out gauges.
[02:22.51]Cause everytime you let the animal out cages,
[02:24.86]It's dangerous to people who look like strangers.
[02:27.47]But now we got a new era of gangstas,
[02:30.06]Hustlers and youngsters living amongst us.
[02:32.37]Lookin at us, now calling us busters,
[02:34.91]Can't help but reminisce back when it was us.
[02:37.37]Nigga we started this gangsta shit.
[02:39.56]And this the motherfucking thanks I get?
[02:42.22]It's funny how time fly,
[02:44.49]I'm just having fun, just watching it fly by. (The watcher)
[02:46.88]
[02:47.29]Chorus:
[02:47.83]Everywhere that I go
[02:49.13]Ain't the same as befo' (The watcher)
[02:51.35]People I used to know
[02:53.91]Just don't know me no more (The watcher)
[02:56.10]But everywhere that I go
[02:58.68]I got people I know (The watcher)
[03:01.61]Who got people they know
[03:03.59]So I suggest you lay low (I watch)
[03:06.33]
