They Watching by Najee Boykin Lyrics
[First Verse]
Mental status below average barely passing (passing passing)
Took the test I couldn’t stand it I’m off balance (balance balance)
The hearts deranged it only thinks of building palaces the crowd is bowing down to this
I’m focused on the lavishness
Of the high life sipping on tea with the team it’s just me me
That’s the brightest light it seems I’m consumed with the view of myself that’s a feen
What do I mean I look all around just to see what they see
My image is bearing the weight of my peace and when one disagrees it all falls into pieces
Ooo look at all my goals like can I reach this ooo
Pressure build I’m asking Can I ease this ooh
I guess it’s just me stuck on my grind the opinions on my mind
Its seem like every time I look around
[Chorus]
Yeah they watching
Pressure binding I’m a hostage
I can’t stop it
Every time I look around (ooooooh) yeah they watching
Pressure binding I’m a hostage (ooooooh) I can’t stop it
No no no no no
[Bridge]
Now a days I’m on my knees my heart is cold like antifreeze
I’m dead inside my life is bleak like oh yeah (oh yeah)
Reverse reverse I’m on my knees I pray to God like Jesus please
Please give me peace that’s clear to see like oh yeah (oh yeah)
[Second Verse]
What does it mean to be fully loved and fully admired
To be really honest that’s what I desire I look at my soul and begin to start fighting
Like when will this end look in the past where did it begin
When I couldn’t laugh unless I had friends
If I was seen bad I’m changing my act can’t show what I lack can’t see me
Now the crowds show if my acts blow them out their seats
Possibly they love me more than cash flow
And then I’ll know how much I’m worth
Hopefully more valuable than dirt so I’ll put my all inside of a verse
But honestly this just don’t work it just don’t work
[Sample]
We want someone of ultimate glory loving us
Not love in general what we need is this ultimate assurance of who we are
Ultimate assurance of our worth we need someone like that loving us like that
We need someone we think the world of loving thinking the world of us
We need the praise of the praiseworthy
[Third Verse]
I’ve been down for too long my knees imprinted probably
Somebody said to pray but I just sit in silence
I think I found the key I need some love inside me
It feels hard to recieve unless it’s from somebody yeah yeah
Can I find peace from talking to the Holy Ghost
Can I find me and who I am when I’m alone
Is love concrete when it’s recieved over the phone
And Will it reach into my heart and make a home
[Second Chorus]
I’m feeling way too lonely
I need you lord to hold me
You promised you’d walk closely
And I’m know that you know me soooooo
Please don’t let gooooo
