Eminem - The Watcher lyrics

[Verse 1] Things just ain't the same for gangstas Times is changing, young n***as is aging Becoming OGs in the game and changing To make way for these new names and faces But the strangest things can happen from rapping When n***as get wrapped up in image and acting n***as 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 n***as in the hospital It's all the same sh** all across the globe I just sit back and watch the show [Hook: Eminem + Knock-Turn'al] 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) [Verse 2] I moved out of the hood for good, you blame me? n***as aim mainly at n***as they can't be But n***as can't hit n***as they can't see I'm out of sight, now I'm out of they dang reach How would you feel if n***as wanted you k**ed? You'd probably move to a new house on a new hill And choose a new spot, if n***as wanted you shot I ain't a thug, how much 2Pac in you you got? I ain't no b**h, neither It's either my life or your life and I ain't leaving, I like breathing n***a, we can go round for round Clip for clip, sh**, fo'-pound for pound n***a, if you really want to take it there, we can Just remember that you f**ing with a family man I got a lot more to lose than you, remember that When you wanna come and fill these shoes [Hook: Eminem + Knock-Turn'al] 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) [Verse 3] Things just ain't the same for gangstas Cops is anxious to put n***as in handcuffs They wanna hang us, see us dead, or enslave us Keep us trapped in the same place we was raised in Then they wonder why we act so outrageous Run around stressed outand 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 n***a, we started this gangsta sh**! And this the motherf**ing thanks I get? It's funny how time flies I'm just having fun just watching it fly by [Hook: Eminem + Knock-Turn'al] 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) [Outro] The watcher The watcher The watcher The watcher The watcher The watcher
