The Pharcyde — Gotcha Lookin

(“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’… (“Got an eye on every move I make”)
