Dr Dre - The Watcher


[Dr. Dre]
Things just ain't the same for gangstas,
Times is changing, young niggas is ageing,
Becoming OG's and the game it changing,
To make way for all these new names and faces, but
The strangest things can happen for rappin, when
Niggas get wrapped up in image and actin',
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 and visited niggas in the hospital.
It's all the same shit all across the globe.
I just sit back and watch the show. (The watcher)

Chorus:
Everywhere that I go
Ain't the same as before (The watcher)
People I used to know
Just don't know me no more
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 manly 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 damn reach,
How would you feel if niggas wanted you killed?
You'd probably move to a new house on that new hill.
And choose a new spot if niggas wanted you shot,
I ain't a thug, how much Tupac in you, you got
I ain't no b**ch neither.
It's either my life or your life,
And I ain't leaving, I like breathing,
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 fu**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 just as anxious to put niggas in handcuffs.
They wanna hang us, see us dead or enslave us,
Keep us trapped in the same place they raised us.
Then they wonder why we act so outrageous,
Run around stressed-out and pull out gauges.
Cause everytime you let the animal outta 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.
Nigga we started this gangsta shit.
And this the motherfu**in thanks I get?
It's funny how time fly,
I'm just havin fun, just watchin it fly by. (The watcher)

Chorus

Notorious BIG - Notorious Thugs (feat. Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony)



...

(Notorious BIG)
Armed and dangerous, ain't too many can bang with us
Straight up weed no angel dust, label us Notorious
Thug-ass niggaz that love to bust, it's strange to us
Y'all niggaz be scramblin', gamblin'

Up in restaraunts with mandolins, and violins
We just sittin' here tryin' to win, tryin' not to sin
High off weed and lots of gin
So much smoke need oxygen, steadily countin' them Benjamins
`
Nigga you should too, if you knew
What this game'll do to you
Been in this shit since ninety-two
Look at all the bullshit I been through

So-called beef with you know who
Fu**ed a few female stars or two
Then a blue light, niggaz, move like Mike, shit
Not to be fu**ed with

Motherfu**er better duck quick, cause
Me and my dogs love to buck shit
Fu** the luck shit, strictly aim
No aspirations to quit the game

Spit yo' game, talk yo' shit
Grab yo' gat, call yo' click
Squeeze yo' clip, hit the right one
Pass that weed, I got ta light one
`
All them niggaz I got ta fight one
All them hoes I got ta like one
Our situation is a tight one
Whatcha gonna do, fight or run?

Seems to me that you'll take B
Bone and Big, nigga die slowly
I'ma tell you like a nigga told me
Cash Rule Everything Around Me

Shit, lyrically, niggaz can't see me
Fu** it, buy the coke
Cook the coke, cut it,

Know the b**ch before you caught yourself lovin' it
Nigga with a Benz fu**in' it

Doesn't it seem odd to you
Big come through with mobs and crews
Goodfellas down to the Bone Thugs dudes
Who's the killa, me or you?

The Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoyevsky



Whew! This one almost floored me. Big read!

Girl from the North Country - Bob Dylan

Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm,
To keep her from the howlin' winds.

Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
That's the way I remember her best.

I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all.
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night,
In the brightness of my day.

So if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
