[Intro: Mai Khalil]
Oh-oh
To the end
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 1: Lowkey]
Born in Congo, raised in China, but he says he's American
My best friend cares about people over everything
A strange day, late teens, first time I met with him
So knowledgeable, felt like this guy knew everything
We'd chat through his windows before he came out with me
Even saw him teaching all the younger kids how to read
We both loved fruits but Apples were his thing
Sometimes he'd doze off, I'd just tap him on the chin
In the beginning, he taught me how to deal with snakes
Later helped with my career and how to build a base
He knows everyone, always seemed wise beyond his years
I opened up to him, face-to-face, cried a lot of tears
Where he went wrong, I'm not sure, it's hard to explain
But along the way, our relationship started to change
In the beginning, it was through him I'd get to know
Others, but through the summers felt intentions grow
[Chorus: Mai Khalil]
I'm watching you, I'm watching you
I'm listening to, I'm listening to
I'll track you down, I'll track you down
To the end of the Earth
I'm watching you, I'm watching you
I'm listening to, I'm listening to
I'll track you down, I'll track you down
To the end of your life
[Verse 2: Lowkey]
Held my career on a shoestring to push for my dreams
But this guy here knew things you wouldn't believe
Not just new things, but old things you shouldn't repeat
He had a photographic memory as smooth as can be
In his childhood, a couple carers killed themselves
Among friends that pulled him up from the mud, his presence still was felt
Respiratory problems, nothing on Earth could heal their health
If you don't hear, then you're gonna feel yourself
He listens when I sleep, watches when I'm not watching him
Knows how to eat on my time, I didn't clock a thing
Turns out befriending him, worst thing I've ever done
It seems he's selling everything about me to everyone
Permanent record, highest bidder, let's just say
Snowden said he's spying on me for the NSA
I always thought he had our best interests at heart
Turned out he only had these vested interests at heart, he's smart
[Chorus: Mai Khalil & Lowkey]
I'm watching you, I'm watching you
(Surveillance and marketing as revolutionary technology)
I'm listening to, I'm listening to
(Smart?)
I'll track you down, I'll track you down
To the end of the Earth
I'm watching you, I'm watching you
I'm listening to, I'm listening to
I'll track you down, I'll track you down
To the end of your life
[Verse 3: Lowkey]
If you thought I was your friend, it's clear you never understood me
I was more than a friend, closer than a friend could be
I can sense when you're feeling low and strained
So I suggested a holiday, maybe we can go to Spain?
Everywhere you go I fit, like your hand in glove
Our biggest problem is you don't understand my love
What is it about my truths that you fear?
Your information's my business, why would you interfere?
You weren't complaining when I put your little tunes in their ears
Every time you held me close I thought that you were sincere
Listen Mr. Paranoid, don't get panicky and shook
Look around you on the train, I've got humanity as hooked
So while I sell your information about a thousand times a day
You're not special, you know there is nothing like my face
You love it, they all do, they stare at me for hours
Every time you try to leave me it is clear to see my power
Most of your waking life is spent staring in my eyes
I know you better than you know you, I'm aware of all your lies
I'm a data collector, just came wearing a disguise
There has never been a culture comparable to my rise
You can go cold turkey, but who's gonna save ya?
I'm addictive, and you? You're just a unit of data
Go back to playing Snake, see if I lose sleep
The truth is I used you, you thought that you used me?
[Chorus: Mai Khalil]
I'm watching you, I'm watching you
I'm listening to, I'm listening to
I'll track you down, I'll track you down
To the end of the Earth
I'm watching you, I'm watching you
I'm listening to, I'm listening to
I'll track you down, I'll track you down
To the end of your life
