(“Got an eye on every move I make”)
[Verse 1: Raghib “Rocket” Ismail]
Back in the day I had a friend
He thought that he was the one who would bring me within
The spirit realm and beyond
But then I found out that that friend, his whole mind was gone
The devil that he served tried to bring him through
But I tell you this, the Lord has come true
In my heart and he blocked that thing from happenin’
Yo kid, that’s why I’m rappin’ in
The studio with my brothers though I don’t really understand
But yo, I have command
And authority over spirits that try to block my mental capacity and come near it
They can’t touch this, they cannot come true
My name is Raghib Ismail, child of God to you
Don’t ask me this, or that, or those
Because those who you see on the ground were my foes
[Chorus: Debra Edwards]
Why does it feel like somebody’s watching me?
(“Got an eye on every move I make”)
Why does it feel like somebody’s watching me?
(“Got an eye on every move I make”)
[Verse 2: Imani]
They say I’m off my rocker, I’m funky like a locker
In a school gymnasium; like Captain Kirk, I’m phasing ‘em
Stunning ‘em, crazy games, I stopped running ‘em
Like red lights with the warrants, because they’re watching
Anticipating, and called what’s worse, fighting and hating
Both cause for jealousy, due to lack of attention
They try all means to get it
Some get lucky, but 99 percent forget it
Because of my occupation I’m always under observation
Constant surveillance, and I’m losing my patience with this
See, they wanna see it, be it, from the view of a rifle scope binoculars
Right down to the microscope
And that ain’t dope (Nope) but still there’s hope
While I wait at the crossroads with faith
Me, myself and all eyes open, hoping for the best
Yes, and to this there’s no contest, yes
[Chorus: Debra Edwards]
Why does it feel like somebody’s watching me?
(“Got an eye on every move I make”)
Why does it feel like somebody’s watching me?
(“Got an eye on every move I make”)
[Bridge: Debra Edwards]
Simply put, go ahead and take a second look
Since you’re always checking my every move I make
Don’t you like everything you see?
Why does it feel like somebody’s always watching me?
[Verse 3]
[Imani]
Yo, give us your undivided attention
And listen in and understand the entire transmission
Image is nothin’ so stop frontin’
Image is nothin’ so won’t you please, please stop
What you make is fake as an extension
Weave, trying to make me believe make-believe, please
All of y’all priorities is out of alignment
That’s why you wonderin’ where your quality time went
Yeah, you just don’t know
Yeah, big mackin’, actin’ cool with the flow
Yeah, big mackin’, actin’ cool, but you’re my description of a fool
[Bootie Brown]
Don’t overlook the details, pick up the pieces
Fools are getting caught, now they’re looking for a Jesus
Make you, up your time real wisely
Despise me, but I shake ‘em like ivory
When they try to tag along, they know they end up only keep persisting
I keep resisting their assisting to create
An illusion of their own
I know I’m not alone, I know many smell the danger
The eyes of a stranger that’s lookin’…
