Watching Us
Yeah, stop a little (Yeah)
Yeah, stress a little less
Yes, they looking from afar, but they isn't, mm
Mm, mm (Closer to my dreams)
In my head, I already had you a thousand times
Made me work harder than most, but see, I don't mind
Before you even realized that you were mine
Your skin been glowing lately
And I know why, mm, why
I like the chase too much, you know you play too much
Once I got you in front of me
No, it wouldn't take too much
I like the chase too much, you know you play too much
Once I got you in front of me
Knew it wouldn't take too much
Kissing in the club
Like it's already love
Before I was the one
Before you knew what it was
I'm kissing in the club
Like it's already love
Don't care who's watching us
Don't care who's watching us (Woah)
Okay, I'm famous, you famous, they seen us, so now what?
Right now, we got to say we got to say how we feelin', sad on the outcome
The hard lines, dopamine rush, you know how that go
Now when it come to you as a woman until you not sure
But God bless 'em, they cold, wipe they nose, I'm not you
Why everybody love me on tour, but girl, it's not you?
The world starin' at me, they want me talk about you
The finest hypothetical woman I may or may not use
As my muse, my new music truthfully about you
No, we don't know each other in public, I got you tattooed
Uh, that's cool, but who would wanna hide you?
The single doin' numbers, I really wan' beside you
Out here, privacy is taboo
It's different when everybody love you when no one like you
So kiss me in the club, whatever come, I got you
It's difficult, we really in love, tryna be casual
Kissing in the club
Like it's already love
Before I was the one
Before you knew what it was
I'm kissing in the club
Like it's already love
Don't care who's watching us
Don't care who's watching us
Hol' up, it's crowded at Papi, we should probably get out it
If you stayin', I'm stayin' too, I ain't slidin' without you
In the Yams with your friends, yeah, I'm jealous, you got it
Thought of blowin' up your phone, but you already on Collins
Fuck it, let's go to Paris 'cause over there, they ain't watchin'
I mean I know I ain't nobody, but I'm no Wembanyama
Now we finally in Lagos, I'ma show you around
We on the way to OB's house and when it's over, to mine
Nothin' make a man feel better than a woman
Queen with a crown, run around with her new man
You so bad, let's go dance, who cares if they know 'bout us
I'm glad you know me, I'm good bein' down bad, baby
I like the chase too much, you know you play too much
Once I got you in front of me
Knew it wouldn't take too much (Shee', drop that motherfucker)
I like the chase too much, you know you play too much (Much)
Once I got you in front of me
Knew it wouldn't take too much
Kissing in the club
Like it's already love
Before I was the one
Before you knew what it was
I'm kissing in the club
Like it's already love
Don't care who's watching us
Don't care who's watching us
(Closer to my dreams)
(You know)
Significado de la letra
En la canción 'Watching Us' de Wale, el artista nos lleva a un viaje emocional a través de sus pensamientos y sentimientos. Expresa cómo ya te imaginó mil veces en su cabeza, lo que lo motiva a esforzarse más sin importarle. Observa cómo tu piel resplandece últimamente y entiende por qué.
Le fascina jugar al juego del cortejo contigo, disfruta de la emoción de perseguirte y reconoce que a veces te haces un poco la difícil, pero una vez que te tiene frente a él, sabe que no le costará mucho conquistarte. Se siente apasionado al besarte en la discoteca, como si ya fuera amor, sin importar quién esté mirando.
La fama y la atención pública son temas recurrentes en su mente, pero en medio de todo el caos, se detiene a apreciar el verdadero sentimiento por ti. Reconoce que la privacidad se ha convertido en algo casi imposible, pero valora la conexión que comparte contigo. Sueña con escapar juntos a París, donde puedan ser libres de miradas ajenas y simplemente disfrutar el uno del otro.
En el climax de la canción, Wale muestra vulnerabilidad al admitir sus celos y su deseo de estar contigo en todo momento. Reconoce tu valor como su reina, y la canción culmina con una invitación a bailar, enfocándose en el presente y en la complicidad compartida, sin importar quién esté observando.
En resumen, 'Watching Us' captura la emoción, la pasión y la vulnerabilidad de una conexión profunda, mostrando cómo el amor puede florecer en medio de la presión y la atención pública.
