People.
All sizes, shapes and color.
Far as the eye can see.
Game at the stadium.
Coming and going.
Busy, busy, busy.
161st and Gerard Avenue.
The guy under a navy blue Yankees cap.
Dour expression.
Yeah that's right, aint taking no crap.
I'm here but I'm not. 
Apparently.
Know better though.
Everywhere I go.
Everything I do.
Somebody seems to be...
Watching Me.

Perfect conditions.
Excellent visibility.
Large black spot on a whitewashed wall.
Twenty-twenty visions, intense scrutiny.
Yet no one has noticed, no one at all.
Jumped, waved and shouted.
Enthusiastically.
Uttered many, many a word.
Nada.
Everybody and nobody seems to have heard.
How can this be?
Hidden in plane sight.
How do I lose this cloak of invisibility?
Everywhere I go.
Everything I do.
Nobody seems to be...
Noticing Me.

Killed, raped, broken, stolen.
That's my ass.
Alibi and documents notwithstanding.
They're on me, like bugs on grass.
Up against the wall.
Pull the car over.
What have I done?
Shut the fuck up! 
License and registration.
Half-assed apology, a dirty slate.
What can I do?
Who should I hate?
Everywhere I go.
Everything I do.
Somebody seems to be...
Harrassing Me.

Working nine to five.
Six days a week.
Steady paycheck.
Keeps me alive.
Covers my bills and the rent.
Shop for groceries and what do I have left?
Not a red cent.
Yeah man, it's all good.
Diggin my slice of heaven.
Right here, up in the hood.
Thirty going on sixty.
Bullets, cheap liquor, asthma,
hard drugs, aids, five-o.
Motherfuckers! 
It's a conspiracy.
Everywhere I go.
Everything I do.
Somebody seems to be...
Out to get Me.

Got me a small, sturdy boat.
Calm sometimes turbulent waters.
A Large lake.
Teeming with fish.
Home of the brave.
Land of the free.
Got me a dream and a birthday wish.
So I've been,
Trying...
Waiting...
Trying...
Waiting...
Trying...
Trying...
Trying...
God almighty!
What is it going to take?
Opportunities galore.
A Nigga still can't catch a break.

Everywhere I go.
Everything I do.
Somebody seems to be...
