Lyrics

Watching me, watching me
Watching me, watching me
Watching me, watching me
Watching me (Ah)
Watching me, watching me
Watching me, watching me
Watching me, watching me
Watching me (Ah)
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
Checkin' to see what I'm doin'
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 (Ah)
Watching me, watching me
Watching me, watching me
Watching me, watching me
Watching me (Ah)
Watching me, watching me
Watching me, watching me
Watching me, watching me
Watching me (Ah)
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 business
Se-cur-ity
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 you're blind, baby
You neglect to see the drugs comin' into my community
Weapons comin' into my community
Dirty cops in my community
And you keep sayin' that I'm free
And you keep sayin' that I'm free
And you keep sayin' that I'm free
Busy watching me Ah
Watching me, watching me
Watching me, watching me
Watching me, watching me
I ain't got no bars to this cage
Watching me (Ah)
If I'm gonna stay here, I'm gonna build me a lead house
Keep them satellites out, Direct TV
Am I watching it or is it watching me? Man, I don't really know
But I feel like
I feel like I'm being scoped, y'all
Watched, y'all
Somethin' ain't right, something ain't right
Watching me, watching me
Watching me, watching me
And you keep sayin' that I'm free
Watching me, watching me
And you keep sayin' that I'm free
Watching me (Ah)
And you keep sayin' that I'm free
And you keep sayin' that I'm free
And you keep sayin' that I'm free
And you keep sayin' that I'm free (Ah)
And you keep sayin' that I'm free
And you keep sayin' that I'm free
And you keep sayin' that I'm free
And you keep sayin' that I'm free (Ah)
