NAS/EM- - )The Watcher
Things just ain't the same for gangstas.
Times is changing, young nikkas 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
nikkas get wrapped up in image and acting,
nikkas 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 nikkas in the hospital.
It's all the same shyt all across the globe.
I just sit back and watch the show. (The watcher)
I moved out of the hood for good, you blame me?
nikkas aim mainly at nikkas they can't be.
But nikkas can't hit nikkas they can't see.
I'm out of sight, now I'm out of they dang reach.
How would you feel if nikkas wanted you killed?
You'd probably move to a new house on a new hill.
And choose a new spot if nikkas wanted you shot,
I ain't a thug, how much Tupac in you, you got
I ain't no bytch neither.
It's either my life or your life,
And I ain't leaving, I like breathing.
nikka we can go round for round,
Clip for clip, shyt, fo'-pound for pound.
nikka if you really want to take it there we can,
Just remember that you fukking 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)
Things just ain't the same for gangstas,
Cops is anxious to put nikkas 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 living amongst us.
Lookin at us, now calling us busters,
Can't help but reminisce back when it was us.
nikka we started this gangsta shyt.
And this the motherfukking thanks I get?
It's funny how time fly,
I'm just having fun, just watching it fly by. (The watcher)
