Nate Dogg, Nanci Fletcher - One More Day lyrics
[Nate Dogg, Nanci Fletcher - One More Day lyrics]
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
Now I was about eight when
I caught my first case
My mother she turned her back and
Bowed her head in disgrace (Eye-eye-eye-eye)
Now I didn't do a thing
I was just standin' by (just standin' by)
Here's a message to the youngsters today
Standin' by: you can die (Eye-eye-eye-eye)
Usually I'm in the house but
Today I snuck off
And when I walk down the Long Beach streets
What a lesson they taught
(Eye-eye-eye-eye-eye)
While walkin' to the corner store
A big mistake was made
My big homie I was walkin' 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 nigga got smoked
(Eye-eye-eye-eye) 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
(Eye-eye-eye-eye)
One more day, one more one more day
One more day, one more one more day
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 ask 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
One more day, one more one more day
One more day, one more one more day
