Jimmy Craig - Bright White Watch lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was young, I was the last picked misfit Now I'm standing tall and I really couldn't give a sh** Sitting all alone with my Harry Potter gla**es And the light ups with the high socks to match it People always wondered why I chose to sit alone I don't really know, I still do it when I'm grown Mom and Dad told me "life gets better as it goes" But the gra** is always greener over the fence when it grows Call it pessimistic, I call it realistic There's always someone there to shoot a dream like ballistics Sometimes I try too hard to be artistic It usually takes time to develop like autistics Bullies try to get to me psychologically This song shows you my life chronologically Cause I used to be the kid with the high cut socks Now I'm the man with a plan and my bright white watch [Chorus] [Verse 2] Fame ain't the key to my awaited destiny If you could see what I see, then you'd understand me You'd see that I'm trying to be free I don't give a f** about my name shining bright up on the marquee I'm a different pedigree, essentially being the best I can be So you people can differentiate me From all the other stars populating the night sky As the day goes by I always stop and ask why Why did I rap when I don't come from the hood? My entire life I've been labeled misunderstood People tell me all the time what I don't do and what I should "Go to school, make money" you wish a motherf**er would As I grow older, my whole heart froze colder Feeling like a boulder, I turn a cold shoulder To the one's that actually care cause I'm too naive to see The one's that matter most to me aren't the most important, see? [Chorus] [Verse 3] I'm staring at the world through my rear view mirror Trying to wipe the fog but that doesn't make it clear If you ever wanna look up to me with your own eyes On the next clear night I'm all over the f**ing sky I know you're gonna come but I don't know when you'll drive I gotta beat the storm that I know I'm gonna survive Cause I used to be the kid with the high cut socks Now I'm the man with a plan and my bright white watch [Chorus]
