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
