Warren G - Do You See lyrics

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 he 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
Gettin tired of mothafuckas sayin'
"Warren I told ya"
(You don't hear what I hear)
But it's so hard to live through these years
With these funny-bunny niggaz
Ain't shit changin
Got my mama wonderin if I'm gang-bangin
But I don't pay attention
To these father figures


I just handle mine
And I'm rollin with my niggaz
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 jackin
Or the fool gettin' jacked
(Yeah)

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 growin up
There's only one hood
And niggas shit be throwin' up
And I knew it
There really ain't nothin' to it
Thinkin' every fool's gotta go through it
Now let's go back - (How Far?) Back in time
Draggin to these hookas tryin
To mack for mine
I remember when we all used
To stop at the spot
Back then my nigga-name was Snoop Rock (huh)
It was all so clear
Eighty-seven, eighty-eight
Then eighty-nine's the year
You say "everywhere we roll
You can say we roll thick"
Way back then two-one-three was the click
Somethin' to stay paid I was
Just a young hog
Warren G, Snoop Rock and Nate Dogg

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 holler, get out the game
Too many muthafuckas know my name
While Snoop Dogg's servin' 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 n Nate'd conversate on the phone
He kept sayin, "Nigga, it won't be long
Before a little skinny nigga
Like me'll be home"
I said, "Snoop, things done change
It's not the same
We need to get about the game
Cuz we can get paid in a different way
Wit you kickin' dope rhymes and I DJ"
Well as time goes past
Slowly we try to make it
But things are gettin hectic
I just can't take it
Should I A: Go back to slangin' 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 G-Child
It's been on ever since with
Me and Mista Grimm
This shit is gettin 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?
Niggaz talk shit they get
Smacked the fuck up
Straight up

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
