[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 standing by
here´s a message to the youngsters today: standing 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 cornerstore a big mistake was made
my big homey 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
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
[chorus:]
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 leavin the game (i´m
leavin the game)
but i guess i waited too late cos they just caught me
now i´m locked up, every mornin i am prayin 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 liftin from day to day
and if i live to see tomorrow, thankyou for one more day
