Watch Over Me
Zoo Kid & Rago Lyrics

Number one in your life's blueprint should be
The most important thing in your life should be

A deep belief in your own dignity
Truly valuing and respecting yourself

Your own worth and your own somebodiness
Acknowledging your importance and worth as an individual

Don't allow anybody to make you feel that you are nobody
Don't let anyone make you feel small or insignificant

Always feel that you count
Always believe that you matter

Always feel that you have worth
Always know your value as a person

And always feel that your life has ultimate significance
Believe that your life has a purpose and meaning

I done been down, but I stayed down
I have experienced hardship, but I didn't give up

Feelin like nobody needed me
Feeling like I didn't matter to anyone

Like no one believed in me
Like nobody had faith in me

For those who stayed down, I'm off the ground
For those who didn't give up like me, I've made progress

I need, your energy
I need support from those who believe in me

I had to see what you see in me
I needed to understand why others believe in me

Now watch me fly
Now see me succeed

Just watch me fly
Just witness my triumph

This time I'm all in it's time to go for the glory
I'm fully committed and it's time to strive for great success

I do it while paying homage to legends that came before me
I respect and honor those who paved the way for me

Paved the way and I made a lane you can't ignore me
I followed the path of those before me and created my own, and now I can't be overlooked

The way that I been murdering tracks is getting gory
I'm excelling so much in my music that it's becoming intense

My brotha Rod said it's just a matter of time
My friend Rod believes my success is inevitable

For somebody to hear the shit that I put up in these lines
For someone to appreciate the lyrics I write

So I go hard for mines see I'm built for the grind
I work hard for what's important to me because I'm capable of handling the effort

Got a lot to say to the world a lot on my mind
I have important messages to share with the world

I'd rather see my niggas on verses instead of hearses
I want my friends to succeed in music instead of losing their lives

Time doesn't heal plus see the thing that hurts is
Time doesn't always fix problems, and what's painful is

Knowing I could be next you'd think that I'd be nervous
Being aware of the possibility of my own death should make me anxious

Out here living know what my purpose on this earth is
Even as I face danger, I understand my reason for existing

If I die, go down in the hale of gun smoke
If I'm killed violently, let it be known

Make sure my mural get put up right on Gull Road
Make sure my memorial or tribute is erected on a particular street

Right by the car wash where I made a lot of bread
Near the car wash where I earned a lot of money

Tell Eastside Jimmy to put a crown on my head
Ask Eastside Jimmy to show respect for my legacy in a particular way

With so much going on in the world your troubles can seem small
Given all the serious problems in the world, your problems may seem insignificant

But when they start to add up it's hard to deal with em all
Even minor problems can become overwhelming when they accumulate

They say together we stand, divided we fall
Unity is crucial, otherwise we may face defeat

I'm witchu if you take a knee or decide to stand tall
I support you, regardless of whether you conform or resist

You see me at the shows and ain't too many as fly as me
You may have seen me perform and noticed that I'm very cool

Hide behind a smile to cover up my anxiety
I appear happy, but I'm actually quite nervous

The one I see in the mirror ain't always who I try to be
I don't always match the image of myself that I aspire to

Just know I got a good heart somewhere deep inside of me
I may not always present that way, but I'm fundamentally kind

Look I'm just like you
I'm not that different from you

Many hard times I had to find my way through
I've faced many difficult situations and had to navigate them

When you late on the rent and the bills past due
When you owe money and have trouble paying your debts

But you still gettin bent until the day turns new, shit I've been there
But you still continue to party despite your struggles - I've experienced that too

Stuck between a job and these streets
Caught between earning a living and participating in dangerous street culture

On my lunch break sittin in the whip trying to write to these beats
During my break from work, I'm sitting in my car writing music

Just know I've always kept this shit real from the start
I've always been honest and genuine

And I hope this reaches you before your light turns dark
I hope my message of perseverance and self-worth can impact you before you lose hope
