Lyrics

Watcher

[Snippet of Jay Z taken from Big L & Jay Z Stretch & Bobbito Freestyle]

As soon as I grab it, I eat it up like a savage

And no I don't have it, I get it together like a marriage

I'm seeking all rappers, I'm on my p's and q's and carrots

(Repeats) I'm seeking all rappers, I'm on my p's and q's and carrots

Y'all don't understand, well, god-damn, don't you know my status

[Intro: Kano]

Things just ain't the same for gangsters

What can I do for a living?

Yo, how can I eat for a living?

[Verse 1: Kano]

Yo, yo, things just ain't the same for MC's

But I'm a little too famous to shoot up M3's

But there's a lot of haters, thieves and enemies

And even in the ends there's greed and envy

It's like I can't make P's to better me cos

More money more beef, more honeys more grief

More G's the more the street keeps watching me

And I ain't got no chain, bracelet or watch on me

I got the blade and the 9 already cocked on me

And the yards armed, it's hot property

I'm going out like Scarface, no dropping me

About this track

"Watcher" is a song by Kano from the album Beats + Bars, released in 2005.

And I can't listen to MC's there's no honesty

Only a few don't copy me, only a few

Can roll in my shoes and bop in another ends

And see why I feel hot in another ends

I heard my buddy, then got me another friend

Like G said they're wanna put me to the test

I'll kill before they're putting me to rest, I will

And fuck booking me I'm ghosting a minute, I'm chilling

And I ain't got a mill but I'm blessed

The streets is watching, heat is cocking, squeeze I'm popping

While I'm blowing up my peeps are still blotting

It's real in the ends, it's real round here

Signed a deal but I'm still round here

Blood I'm still in the ends

And I'm around dealers from 10's to 10 boxes

With big beamers and benz'

And still little pricks want to squeal to the feds

I ain't bait I ain't feeling a 10

Wheel and come again, I ain't bait I ain't feeling a 10

I'm great with a liper, nice pair of Fila's or Nike Airs

Got the three stripes on lock

I'll be Going in the office coming out with like 5 pairs

So, naturally niggers wanna hate me

Niggers see the Maharishi on me and they still got an AV

And we leave the club with half the capacity

And girls at the hotel massaging my back and feet

Things just ain't the same for Kano

I came on the TV and came off radio

Now you can book me it just ain't for the same dough

I'll soon be on that Jigga shit figures with eight O's
