"Watch This" lyrics

Yeah, nostalgia
Uh-huh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Crunch time, let's get it done

Look, I'm the only rapper that done made it up out of my city
Well, maybe Taj, maybe StoveGod but no, it's not many
Look, most of my guys had to get day jobs to keep on they Con Edison
Isn't it odd the way that God still be shinin' on me
I don't take it for granted, uh
I've been all around the planet, somehow, I stay planted
My mama died in my arms, but somehow I still manage
To give all the glory to God, I ain't askin' Him why when I don't understand it
It always pan out, that's why I don't never panic (Right)
Ain't never paid for no streams, I did it organic
Gave Him my life, I gave Him my heart
I gave Him the bars that give me advantage
I stay with my wife, I'm raisin' the standard
I came with the light, I'm raisin' the banner
Gave to the fight, but it wasn't on camera
Was livin' in Harlem and eatin' that manna
On one, two, six, kickin' it like Kung Fu flicks, started out
In the lunchroom with somebody beatin' the table with both of they fists
There I was holdin' my own, writin' my raps, honin' my gift
Written on Motorola Sidekicks, then goin' on tours, and throwin' in moshpits
Man, look at what God did, environments that I grew up in was toxic
How I became a role model, but ain't had no guidance?
They tried to close every door on me, so that's when I turned into a locksmith
And when they tell you that your time's up, that's when you gotta tell 'em, "Watch this"
Watch

Indie Andy, man, I gotta do what's right for me, baby
This beat sound like an intro and an outro, it's perfect (It's a circle)
The arrival of my son was the end of this house just bein' me and my wife
And the beginning of us building a family (It's a circle)
The end of my record deal was the beginning of my independence (It's a circle, it's a circle)
The end of certain relationships became space for new ones
Sometimes things don't happen to you, they happen for you
Right now I feel like I'm between grief and gratitude, and I think that's okay (It's a circle)
My prayer lately been, "Lord, come on, change it, at least change my perspective"
Maybe it's not the end, maybe it's just the—
The And?
