 [Intro:]

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:]

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

[Verse 2:]

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 cos 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, thankyou for one
more day

[Chorus to fade]
