Carl "Butch" Small - One More Day lyrics

[Intro] We would like for you to help us welcome A very distinguished speaker He hails from the DPG Would you please stand and welcome the one, the only OG Nate Dogg [Verse 1] Now I was about eight when I caught my first case My mother she turned her back and bowed her head in disgrace Now I didn't do a thing I was just standin' by Here's a message to the youngsters today Standin' by - you can die Usually I'm in the house but today I snuck home And when I walk down the Long Beach streets What a lesson they taught While walkin' to the corner store a big mistake was made My big homey I was walking with decided he needed to get paid So he loaded up his .32 and walked right in the store He said, dear God forgive me please but I can't be broke no more Now remember, I was just eight I thought this was a joke What I'm sayin' I ain't playin' It was funny 'til that n***a got smoked Can you guess who that could've been quite easily But it wasn't so I'm lucky to be standing right here to see [Hook] One more day, one more One more day One more day, one more One more day [Verse 2] One more day, I'm hangin' around so I can see Little Nate have a pocket full of money just like his daddy Everyday I'm sellin big dope, it's all that I know I ain't workin and I got a baby so don't axe me what for One more day, gather round everybody and listen to me I gotta another story about the penitentiary One more day, see while I was servin cavi I forgot to think Say for instance they catch me, little Nate'll never see Now remember I'm sellin' big dope but I'm packin' my thangs And every corner police watchin' I ain't crazy so I'm leaving the game But I guess I waited too late cause they just caught me Now I'm locked up, every morning I am praying for my son's safety One more day I'd like to thank you for watchin over my D-O-double G's And would you keep an extra eye on Nate Dogg especially I guess I'll just continue lifting from day to day And if I live to see tomorrow Thank you for one more day [Hook to fade]
