The Watcher

Things just ain't the same for gangstas Times is changing, young niggas is agin' Becoming old gees in the game and changin' To make way for these new names and faces, but The strangest things can happen from 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 up high, and suddenly 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 (The watcher) Everywhere that I go ain't the same as before (The watcher) People I used to know just don't know me no more (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) I moved out of the hood for good, you blame me? Niggas ain't made me if 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?
