Tonedeff - And They Watched Him lyrics

A poor boy, just 5 years old
Enchanted with the noise that
Chimed in his soul he lined up every goal
As a child he was certain
And everyone that he told
Asked him not to disturb them

And they watched him - and they laughed
And they watched him - and they laughed
And they watched him - and they laughed
And they watched him - and they laughed

As he grew, he would prove that he had it
And man nobody knew how he
Was doing this magic from music to graphics
To movement and acting
He made it to the television
Screen and he smashed it

And they watched him and they clapped
But he withdrew from the lure of the rap shit


Because he couldn’t do what the
Suit's would be asking
He told then all the news
He would choose to be absent
And everyone he knew
Was confused by his actions

And they watched him - and they gasped
He moved to the big city of dreams
The very thing he swore he
Wouldn’t do as a teen
He generated news and the views was obscene
But his heritage and speed
Was hard to market, it seemed

And they watched him - and they passed
Out of frustration
He would launch his scheme
Began to cross the nation as
The boss of his team
And people mocked his validation
Cause of online streams
And told him that he was soft
Because they watched him sing

And they watched him - and they mad
And his big day came and it went
Cause every dollar spent
Went from promo to rent
And since familiarity would
Always breed contempt
They would leave him - when he couldn't
Meet the needs of his friends

And they watched him - and they ran
Now people act like he doesn't exist
And every first he ever hit has
Been bumped from the list
And they run with his shit
Spitting it quick minus his wit
The every man online turning their sung
Parts up in the mix

And he watched them, and he laughed
I'm independent i'm alternative
I'm an artist right
