Lupe Fiasco - Gold Watch Lyrics

My first music purchase was this album. Ten year old me was happy as hell in Sam Goody

When the day went to homework, pot and ice-bath

Bumping this 10 years later

best song my guy wrote

First bars feel like hip hop

Every time I step out of the shower....yes that fresh

I'm back here because of the line in Sun God Sam & The California

I am ignorance’s enemy so stay out the vicinity of...

One of my fave songs EVER

This adoration of magi and wav files are my favorite lupe joints!

Whats Dope...
I got my gold watch and my gold chain wit my fancy car and my diamond rings wit my ghetto broad and she is so plane gotta couple scars and one of them long names shell fight a nigga and cusses with no shame and um X man had her baggin up cocaine but yea she love it over and umm..

mannnn i forgot i used to blast this all the time back in the menards days. good memories

one of my fav lupe tracks. nerdy black shit but also so nasty lyrically. i relate HIGHLY

You hear the Tyler The Creator influence on the strings & piano 🎹

he mentioned that this was his fav lupe song awhile ago

Was way ahead of his time

Who’s here from jaylen hands

xxxtentacion is the hit

Top 5 Unexpectedly Great albums

1:02
A young 50 cent, right?

I always have much respect for people who are authentic, comfortable being themselves and aren't scared to show it. That's why I've always fw Lupe. His flow is incomparable.

My shit as a kid I'm straight from the projects but I relate

I remember when I downloaded this when it dropped and thought Gold Watch had anti-bootlegging tags all over it. Love this song

The way the beat switches on the chorus is super Tyler the Creator-esque

I'm 100% sure this was out when Tyler was still in high school. So Tyler would be Lupe-esque lol.

I bought a gold watch because of Lupe Fiasco

noone can tell me lupe didnt flow all over this beat.

This beat is so bad and so good at the same time. It's weird.

B-Mint1994 its nowhere near bad

Classic!

She's saying "Oh give the drummer some yea yea aye(yea)"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KNGKBt8x0g

Never knew that.. as many times as ive listened to this album.. good to know.

I always thought she said, "get them dollars up yea, yea...

@Aaron Puckett, that symbol you see on the album cover is the sharingan.

Dope beat! Arguably the best track on "The Cool". Production and lyricism on point!

Jeneral J.U.-ICE I was called crazy for saying the same shit. best track on here

This song is love. This song is life. Simply amazing. Lupe top 5 easy

Only Ken and Ryu? Get that ass banned scrub

That hook had me in tears (of joy.)

ugh i would love it if it werentfor the random crap in the background eeegh.

Nerd Anthem

get the goosebumps everytime the hook comes in and u hear the quiet ass strings in the background

omg yes. and at the end when lets the beat ride. its so awesome

Agreewithmyfact favorite part!!

Bruh, I actually wasn't sure about the song until I heard the chorus. I couldn't get over the annoying as sample. Then the chorus came in and I was like alright! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Indeed. I didn't get it until the 25th or so time I listened to it

Them strings gave you the haunting dread that loomed over the facts he was speaking.

Seriously this" this oh yeayea" scream from the girls in the back is just terrible, i cant even concentrate on the beat and on the text. it's unfortunate because i love the Refrain and the vocals... Is there any version without this terrible repetition? Thanks

It's a classic sample

http://www.whosampled.com/sample/14930/Lupe-Fiasco-Gold-Watch-The-Propositions-Do-What-Ever-Turns-You-on-Pt-2/

Wow i guess its polarizing cause i absolutely love it

i always thought the woman in the backround was saying "oh you better come here" lol i always wonder what she said

http://www.whosampled.com/sample/14930/Lupe-Fiasco-Gold-Watch-The-Propositions-Do-What-Ever-Turns-You-on-Pt-2/

terrible

+MasterAlucardGV are you stupid?

MasterAlucardGV L

now he's going to face daigo in STREET FIGHTER V on monday.

He fucking beat him.

Lupe vs Daigo "The Beast" Umehara @ EVO 2016! This song came to mine after I heard the news.

SOMETHING TO LISTEN TOO.

get hip youngin'.

"I love Street Fighter 2, I just really hate Zangief. Only Ken and Ryu. I find it hard to beat Blanka." Coolest/nerdiest rap lyric ever.

my favorite line 💯

And he beat Daigo while using Ken!!

+Orlando Calder And he took off his gold watch for it!!!!

That's was Cold!

Complex article brought me here.

My favorite Lupe song

I'm not so sure I liked T&Y. I just prefer the chill of old Lupe. 
Someone else said imagine a collab with Childish or Common, and I think it's a shout.
Love this track. On repeat.

after copping the T&Y album made me come back to the cool album. hands down the best album for super lu imo. not dissing t&y

"American mentally with Japanese tendencies!" This whole song was like the nerd anthem. Lu was the only guy in hiphop who made talking about manga and robots and skateboards cool

Ya'll are missing Del the Funky Homosapien/Deltron
Listen to Proto-Culture or really any of the Deltron albums
They're concept albums that portray Del as an anime character.

YaKuZa moon. Not really. You got dudes like Deltron and whatnot.

Lupe wears glasses, is from Illinois, is a gamer and anime nerd, likes some EDM and loves Samurai swords & Kung Fu.

And is enough of a geek to make an album about a Zombie Drug Dealer.


Lupe is me as a rapper, and I'm rocking with anything dude does.

YaKuZa moon. Pharrell

Bruh the nerd anthem... I literally decided to study international relation at 14 years old after hearing this, and I studied in japan 2x after..

Bangn in 2014. This song just do somethn to the ego.

Still banging in 2015.

our kids will be bumpin this haha

2016. Best believe

I can hear Peter Griffin

Classic!!!!!!!!!! One of my favorite albums ever!!!!

I dont know how people can dislike this. Its TRUE rap.

damn I love this song bro

Ahh freshman college year when this song dropped. Good memories here.

And now a graduate and still banging this! Peace man lol

Hell yeah shit too g

@jonathanehs this song definitely got me through many nights of homework and papers. And yes yrs later graduated with a good ass job. Lol peace bro.

You didn't go to college look at the color of your skin

His Flow Is Hot.

Classic hip hop album in my book

I'm going to say it, and this is my openen, but Lupe is a better rapper than eminem. Eminem is good but Lupe has the cool :) 

@Alexander Wang I'd say it's only recently bad.

I mean eminem is really good.

Yes, Lupe in my opinion is probably better, and as I listen to more rappers, I see a few every once in a while better than Eminem.

But really? Eminem does have heart in some of his songs, and he does like to have fun. Just because some rappers might be better than him in certain ways doesn't mean he's a bad rapper.

You don't know or respect hip hop. Delete your comment

Neptunes7485 its a subjective comment and opinion smh
And you randomly come out with "you don't know hip hop" lol but its subjective , imo no one knows the whole of hip hop lol too much knowledge to gather , pretty much impossible. I think a lot of rap fans that know both artists music can unbiasedly say Lupe is a better overall artist and rapper tbh. Eminems catalogue doesn't help him imo . I'm tired af so sorry if the text seems stupid af lol

Still the single greatest CD purchase I've ever made.

really? alright

Agreed!!

Like if this a MasterPiece 

This beat is so fucking sick man 

Who remembers when this album dropped? People were wild back in the day over this masterpiece.

It's so the Muslim religion

...They are characters in the album...I must ask, have you have even listened to the full project?

The symbols in the circles repersent something.

Illuminati or not, symbols are symols, and symbols always have a meaning.

Hahahaha His Name 😂

INCORRECT.

Do your research.

That is the moral for all races.

:)

this whole album a classic..

PSYCHE

Man, the opening made me think it was buffering.

Kanye has NEVER been close to Lupe!!! Lupe spits circles around Kanye

William Coleman they're friends

Good song and beat, but the babbling in the background is just annoying to me.

I like your style

Dafuq.. Lupe is like Lupe.

Lupe is a lot like classic kanye. Sounds great to me

this song is a hidden gem to so many. He was rapping his ass off with an incredible beat to go with it

you did.

want a cookie

The fact this whole beat was formed from a 2 second excerpt from The Propositions song "Do Whatever Turns You On Part 2" speaks to Lupe's genius. There is no one better. Lyrically. Content. Technically. Production. Nobody. Better.

95rising this song was made way before Otis lol

kinda sounds like otis by kanye and jayz

True I just thought of the triANGLE IN THE LUP LOGO BUT WHATEVER

no such thing. illuminati is the white man trying to put black artist out of business

thanks for destroying the song for me.... everytime i hear the hook, peter pops up in my mind...

hahaha jesus dude calm the fuck down

Lupe fiasco represent illuminati in anyway?

Agreed cupcakerainbowspro

2013 and I still love this song.

I posted it on my Twitter and Instagram

Ty likes the hook. so his d riders are coming to tell the world for no reason

golf wang

best lyrical performance by lupe by far
