It’s Time To “Battle”: Craig Watson’s New Song Drops

From confronting depression and systemic pressure to celebrating breakthroughs with triumphant praise, Watson crafts a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. The song stands as a call to authenticity by challenging listeners to move beyond surface-level belief and embrace a disciplined, purpose-driven life rooted in faith.

Lyrics:

[Chorus]
It’s time to battle
I got the Sword of the Spirit and I started swinging for real
It’s time to battle
I just be walking on water, depression be sinking for real
People they claiming they Christian, but look how they living
I don’t think they mean it for real
I don’t got time for no sickness for real
I just got time to be lifted for real

[Verse 1]
Do you know what you blessed with
If you a believer what would you be sorry for
Jesus take you right out of the barrio
Now you running it up like It’s cardio
Now you seeing that you out the prison, you is not a victim
Moved out the house, had to go evict ‘em
Broke out the PC, broke right out the system
Control and alt delete, you had to shift ‘em

[Bridge]
I know sometimes it just
Look dry it don’t look fine
It don’t look great
But that is fine I know I Climb
Without my eyes Using my faith
I did not die but I survived
Believed in God He gave me A plate
Stomach deprived still believed
In God and believed I’ll rise now I got a taste
Had to leave the old ways it
Was too abysmal
Now I’m with the home tea
Stunning with the kinfolks
And we screaming glory hallelujah Out the window
Hallelujah out the window

[Verse 2]
I been connected, I been too invested
I don’t need crypto, I been too invested
I kill the flesh, it been so domestic
Covered by the stripes I know I’m protected
Up with the King where we finna go
They think we Connor Price
How we spin the globe
And I know that the Father
Direct the show so I know
That I’ll get through the Episodes

[Outro]
And we screaming glory
Hallelujah out the
And we screaming glory
Hallelujah out the window
And we screaming glory
Hallelujah out the window
Hallelujah out the window
