Do You See (feat. Nate Dogg)

The Blues has always been totally American As American has apple pie, as American has the Blues As American has 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 Gettin' tired of motherfucker 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 niggas, 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 V.I.P., 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 motherfucker 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?

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 not the fuck-up?
