the blues has always been totally american
as american as apple pie
as american as the blues
as american as apple pie
the question is why
why should the blues be so at home here
well america provided the atmosphere
you don’t see what i see every day as warren g
i take a look over my shoulder as i get older
getting tired of mothafuckas saying warren i told ya
you don’t hear what i hear
but it’s so hard to live through these years
with these funnybunny niggas ain’t shit changing
got my mama wondering if i’m gang banging
but i don’t pay attention to these father figures
i just handle mine and i’m rolling with my niggas
off to the vip you see snoop dogg and warren g
unbelievable how time just flies
right before your eyes but you don’t recognize
now who’s the real victim can you answer that
the nigga that’s jacking or the fool getting jacked
refrain
you don’t see what i see every day as warren g
you don’t hear what i hear
but it’s so hard to live through these years
you don’t see what i see every day as warren g
you don’t hear what i hear
but it’s so hard to live through these years
another sunny day another bright blue sky
another day another muthafucka die
these are the things i went through when i was growing up
there’s only one hood and niggas shit be throwing up
and i knew it there really ain’t nothing to it
thinking every fool’s gotta go through it
now let’s go back how far back in time
dragging to these hookas trying to mack for mine
i remember when we all used to stop at the spot
back then my nigganame was snoop rock
it was all so clear ’87 ’88 then ’89s the year
you say everywhere we roll you can say we roll thick
way back then was the clique
something to stay paid i was just a young hog
warren g snoop rock and nate dogg
refrain
you don’t see what i see every day as warren g
you don’t hear what i hear
but it’s so hard to live through these years
you don’t see what i see every day as warren g
you don’t hear what i hear
but it’s so hard to live through these years
you make me wanna holla get out the game
too many muthafuckas know my name
while snoop dogg’s serving time up in wayside
i puts it down on the street don’t try to take mine
i had to reassure the homie that he wasn’t alone
we’d talk and him and nate’d conversate on the phone
he kept saying nigga it won’t be long
before a little skinny nigga like me’ll be home
i said snoop things done changed it’s not the same
we need to get up out the game
cause we can get paid in a different way
with you kicking dope rhymes and i dj
well as time goes past slowly we try to make it
but things are getting hectic i just can’t take it
should i a go back to slanging dope
or should i b maintain and try to cope
or should i c just get crazy and wild
but no i chose d create the gchild
it’s been on ever since with me and mista grimm
this shit is getting so hectic that i can’t even trust him now
what would you do for a warren g cut
would you act the fool and nut the fuck up
back the fuck up act the fuck up
niggas talk shit they get smacked the fuck up straight up
refrain
you don’t see what i see every day as warren g
you don’t hear what i hear
but it’s so hard to live through these years
you don’t see what i see every day as warren g
you don’t hear what i hear
but it’s so hard to live through these years
you don’t see what i see every day as warren g
you don’t hear what i hear
but it’s so hard to live through these years
you don’t see what i see every day as warren g
