The Watchers
B.o.B Lyrics

Yes, I feel the end, the end is close
I have a feeling that the end of the world is near.

The same thing happened eon's ago
Something similar occurred many, many years ago.

To know exactly you have to read up some more
To fully comprehend the situation, one must conduct research.

Everyday technology speeds up some more
Technological advancements continue to increase at an accelerating pace.

As is above, so is below
The way things are in heaven is the same as they are on earth.

Some feel the heat, yet some feel the cold
While some experience positivity and progress, others feel negativity and stagnation.

We are the souls, yes we have been chose
We are individual beings with unique and significant purposes.

Some roll with angels and demons and ghosts
Some of us surround ourselves with both light and dark entities.

But shh, hold up Bob, Don't go there
Be careful with what you say, Bob.

You know that they watching, they all see and stare but
They are constantly observing your every move, Bob.

They can't stop me, I'm already there
They cannot prevent me from achieving my goals; I am already successful.

And y'all ain't seen sh-t but y'all already scared
You fear what you do not understand, even though you have yet to witness anything terrifying.

I'm gone, high like fructose, fructose
I am absent-minded and intoxicated, much like consuming high levels of fructose.

You wanna know the truth, really, you don't, you don't
You believe you desire the truth, but in reality you would prefer remaining ignorant.

It'll blow ya out ya mind like a UFO, UFO
The truth is so profound it will astonish you, akin to how encountering a UFO would feel.

I'm basically a resident of Pluto, Pluto
I am separate and unique from the rest, much like residing on the dwarf planet Pluto.

You know, but you'll probably be the same one hating
You understand my position; however, you most likely will still resent me.

Saying every rapper is in the freemasons
You claim that every rapper belongs to the Freemasons.

While the cops giving out free mace to your face
The police are gratuitously attacking you with mace.

Now how do that taste
Are you enjoying that experience?

I'm outta my mind
I am in an unusual state of consciousness.

These video's tellin' y'all lies, bruh
Many videos circulating the media are deceiving and spreading misinformation.

Tellin y'all, we holding evil hand signs bruh
The videos claim that we are making menacing hand gestures.

Last time I checked I'm from the eastside bruh
I was raised in the eastern region of town after checking.

So do your research and make ya own mind up
Conduct proper research and decide for yourself.

'Cause us musicians have influence on the mic
Musicians possess the ability to affect individuals with the use of a microphone.

But they don't like that so they conquer and divide
However, those in power are antagonistic to this notion and choose to conquer and divide instead.

Double-H-N-D, hip hop never dies
Hip hop music will never dissipate, as it is transcendent.

So shoot all you want, but we fly
You can shoot at us, but we will remain free.

Because you know, no one man should have all that power
No individual should be in control of all authority.

Obviously cause there's only one power
This is obviously true, as there is only one dominion.

But never mind, y'all keep worshiping towers
However, you can continue to worship power structures or societal hierarchies.

While the clock keeps handing yo hours
While time seems to keep slipping away, perpetually.

But pucker up because the truth gets sour
Be prepared to immerse yourself in a bitter truth.

More sour than the sour diesel I devour
This revelation will be even more sour and unpleasant than the strain of marijuana I consume.

Hear me by the hour, I give ya fifty vowels
I am frequently expressing myself, giving you orations of fifty vowel sounds.

When I brain storm it's like a shower
When I brainstorm, it feels like a mass of raindrops washing over me.

So pull out your towels
Have a towel ready to assist you with the aftermath.

And don't let em play you
Do not let others fool you.

Do your own thing
Pursue your own path.

F-ck what they do
Forget what they are doing.

And if you good at something make sure they pay you
If you possess a skill, make sure to be compensated for it.

And if not then take a thank you
If not, graciously accept gratitude for your efforts.

Whether they praise you, or whether they hate you
Irrespective of whether they praise or criticize you.

It's all about the attention that they pay you
At the end of the day, it is about the quantity and quality of attention you are receiving.

Y'all on that grape drink
You are drinking grape flavored juice.

Try this grape juice
Let me offer you a different grape beverage.

Shouts to Grand Hustle
A shout out to Grand Hustle, a hip hop collective.

We got that break through
We have achieved a significant break through.

And yes, it's evident we better than the rest of these competitors
Clearly, we possess a greater skill set than other competitors.

Really there aint no-one else ahead of us
No one else is superior to us.

Y'all was these verses off etc, etc
You were not paying attention to these verses and so on and so forth.

Cause they watching y'all like the federals, owww
They are continually monitoring you, much like government enforcers.
