Watching Me lyrics

[Hook]

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, aaaah

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, aaaah

[Verse 1]

First thing when I wake up

And right before I close my eyes at night

I think, sense, feel, man like

I'm under some kind of microscope

Satellites over my head

Transmitters in my dollars

Hawking, watching, scoping, jocking

Scrutinizing me

Checking to see what I'm doing

Where I be, who I see

How and where and with whom I make my money

What is this?

"Excuse me, miss

May I have your phone number and your social security?"

Who, me?

When all I came to do is buy my double or triple A batteries

Please, I decline

[Hook]

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, aaaah

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, aaaah

[Verse 2]

Look here at this watch of mine

Gotta open it up

Don't know who's been in it

Tracking where I go

Finding out all my bi'ness

Se-cur-i-ty

Video cameras locked on me

In every dressing room

On every floor, in every store

Damn can I get that democracy

And equality and privacy

You busy watching me, watching me

That your blind, baby

You neglect to see

The drugs coming into my community

Weapons coming into my community

Dirty cops in my community

And you keep saying that I'm free

And you keep saying that I'm free

And you keep saying that I'm free

Busy watching me, ah!

[Hook]

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, aaaah

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, watching me

Watching me, aaaah

[Verse 3]

I ain't got no bars to this cage

If I'm gonna stay here

I'm gonna build me a lead house

Keep them satellites out

Direct-TV

Am I watchin' it or is it watchin' me?

Man, I don't really know

But I feel like

I feel like I'm being scoped, y'all

Watched, y'all

Something ain't right

Something ain't right

[Outro]

And you keep saying that I'm free

And you keep saying that I'm free

And you keep saying that I'm free

And you keep saying that I'm free

And you keep saying that I'm free

And you keep saying that I'm free

Ah
