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
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
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 'cause 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, thank you for one more day
[Chorus]
