One More Day

[Intro: Narrator]

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: Nate Dogg & Singers]

Now I was about eight when I caught my first case

My mother she turned her back and bowed her head in disgrace

(Eye-eye-eye-eye)

Now I didn't do a thing

I was just standin' by (just standin' by)

Here's a message to the youngsters today

Standin' by: you can die

(Eye-eye-eye-eye)

Usually I'm in the house but today I snuck off

And when I walk down the Long Beach streets

What a lesson they taught

(Eye-eye-eye-eye-eye)

While walkin' to the corner store a big mistake was made

My big homie 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

(Eye-eye-eye-eye)

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

(Eye-eye-eye-eye)

[Chorus: Nate Dogg & Singers]

One more day, one more

One more day

One more day, one more

One more day

[Verse 2: Nate Dogg & Singers]

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 ask 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 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

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 lifting from day to day

And if I live to see tomorrow

Thank you for one more day

[Chorus: Nate Dogg & Singers]

One more day, one more

One more day

One more day, one more

One more day
