The Watcher

作词 : Eminem/Andre R. Young

作曲 : Eminem/Andre R. Young

Things just ain't the same for gangstas

Times is changing, young niggas is aging

Becoming O.Gs in the game and changing

To make way for these new names and faces

But the strangest things can happen from rapping

When niggas get wrapped up in image and acting

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 visited niggas in the hospital

It's all the same shit all across the globe

I just sit back and watch the show

Everywhere that I go

Ain't the same as befo' (The watcher)

People I used to know

Just don't know me no mo' (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 aim mainly 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 dang reach

How would you feel if niggas wanted you killed?

You'd probably move to a new house on a new hill

And choose a new spot, if niggas wanted you shot

I ain't a thug, how much 2Pac in you you got?

I ain't no bitch, 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 ****ing with a family man

I got a lot more to lose than you, remember that

When you wanna come and fill these shoes

Everywhere that I go

Ain't the same as befo' (The watcher)

People I used to know

Just don't know me no mo' (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)

Things just ain't the same for gangstas

Cops is anxious to put niggas 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 every time 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

Nigga, we started this gangsta shit!

And this the mother****ing thanks I get?

It's funny how time fly

I'm just having fun just watching it fly by

Everywhere that I go

Ain't the same as befo' (The watcher)

People I used to know

Just don't know me no mo' (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)
