Watching me, watching me   Watching me, watching me   Watching me, watching me   Watching me      Watching me, watching me   Watching me, watching me   Watching me, watching me   Watching me      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      Watching me, watching me   Watching me, watching me   Watching me, watching me   Watching me      Watching me, watching me   Watching me, watching me   Watching me, watching me   Watching me      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-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 you're 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      Watching me, watching me   Watching me, watching me   Watching me, watching me   Watching me      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   Watch y'all   Somethin' ain't right   Somethin' ain't right      Watching me, watching me   Watching me, watching me   Watching me, watching me   Watching me      And you keep sayin' that I'm free   And you keep sayin' that I'm free   And you keep sayin' that I'm free   ...
