Lyrics

[Intro]
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 the blues be so at home here?
Well, America provided the atmosphere
[Verse 1]
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 ****, ain't shit changin'
Got my momma wonderin' if I'm gang-bangin'
[Verse 2]
But I don't pay attention to these father figures
I just handle mine, and I'm rollin' with my ****
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 ya answer that?
The **** that's jackin' or the fool gettin' jacked? (Yeah)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Another sunny day, another bright blue sky
Another day, another mothafucka died
These are the things I went through when I was growin' up
There's only one hood a **** should 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 hookers tryna mack for mine
I remember when we all used to stop at the spot
Back then my ****-name was Snoop Rock (Huh)
It was all so clear
'87, '88, then '89's the year
You say, everywhere we roll, you can say we roll thick
Way back then, 213 was the click
Servin' to stay paid, I was just a young hog
Warren G, Snoop Rock and Nate Dogg
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
You make me wanna holla, get out the game
Too many mothafuckas 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 and Nate'd conversate on the phone
He kept sayin', ****, it won't be long
Before a little skinny **** like me'll be home
I said, Snoop, thangs done changed, it's not the same
We need to get up out the game
'Cause we can get paid in a different way
With you kickin' dope rhymes, and I DJ
Well, as time go 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
The shit is gettin' so hectic that I can't even trust Tim, now
What would you do for a Warren G cut?
Would ya act a fool and nut the fuck up?
Back the fuck up, act the fuck up?
**** talk shit, they get smacked the fuck up, straight up
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
