Watch Me 2012 Lyrics

[Intro: DeStorm]
Watch me rise from my knees
Watch me grow, watch me breathe
And when I'm finally on my feet
I know the world, is watching


[Hook: DeStorm]
I'm so hot (x8)
And anybody trying to tell me I'm not (watch me)
And anybody trying to step in my spot (watch me)
Said if you ever doubt that I'm hot (watch me)
Then you can get the finger (what finger?)
The middle

[Verse 1: DeStorm]
Ay yo, everybody dream, but few people wake up
I've always dreamed big, the opposite of A cups
Now I'm so hot I'm blowing kisses to myself
Connect my headphones to my mouth so I can listen to myself
Nah, I ain't shutting up, golf, I ain't putting up
You touch a million people then come tell me I'm fucking up
What's the point of making fire, if you can't burn from it?
No point in making music if you can't learn from it
So I devised a plan when I dropped out the university
Same professor said I'd fail became the first to see
That I make my own rules, please don't take it personally
I don't think I'm better than you, I just think you're worse than me
I got my shit together, I know what my plan is
While you screaming fuck the world but never slept with the planet
Too many people claim they fly but never owned a pair of wings
My flames just igniting, nigga pass the kerosene
[Hook]

[Verse 2: Razi]
Check it, my life story is in comparison to the road of glory
I was unaccepted, always picked last, outcast rap, never with the in crowd
Never been loud, wasn't allowed to get down, sound of crickets
I just sat around and looked at my spitting image
A reflection of imperfection, a rejection of human complexion

I made mistakes but forget all the decisions I made
My mental stability was making me afraid
Hoping that one day, I'm satisfied at how far I'm coming along
Going wrong to right, then right to wrong
But a wise man then told me life is mostly froth and bubble
And one thing that stands like stone, motivation under your trouble
Learned lessons, I practiced to make perfections
Music is now the message, forget the criticism
My mind is speaking though the rhythm
No longer trapped in this rectangular prism
From the ground to the sky as I rise to my feet
Seeing visions of life that people fail to exceed

[Hook]

[Bridge: DeStorm]
And don't you ever try to tell me I'm not
And don't you ever try to tell me I'm not
And don't you ever try to tell me I'm not
Watch me rise from my knees
Watch me grow, watch me breathe

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRsiAwR_sCo Every year, DeStorm holds the “Watch Me” contest in which he makes a song and allows emcees to spit 16 hot bars on the song. Emcees enter their verses in a video response and DeStorm chooses final contestants and leaves the winner up to voting from his fans.

For the 2012 Watch Me Contest, the winner would be flown out to Hollywood, CA to hang out with DeStorm and appear on his first album/mixtape, “Be Careful.”

The winner was Alicia James. However, DeStorm decided he would work on her on a different track and decided to put Razi’s verse on his mixtape. DeStorm is yet to collab with Alicia James on a song or video.
