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 off
And when I walked down the Long Beach streets
What a lesson they taught
While walking to the corner store, a big mistake was made
My big homie I was walking 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 saying, I ain't playing, it
Was funny 'til that nigga got smoked
Can you guess who that could've been? You know quite easily
But it wasn't, so I'm lucky to be standing right here to see
One more day
One more day
One more day
One more day
One more day, I'm hanging around so I can see
Little Nate have a pocket full of money just like his daddy
Every day I'm selling big dope, it's all that I know
I ain't working and I got a baby, so don't ask me what for
One more day, gather 'round everybody and listen to me
I got another story about the penitentiary (One more day)
See, while I was serving cavi, I forgot to think
Say, for instance, they catch me, little Nate'll never see
Now remember, I'm selling big dope, but I'm packing my things
At every corner, police watching
I ain't crazy, so I'm leaving the game
(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)
Lord, I'd like to thank you for watching over my D-O double G
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 day
One more day
One more day
