tbh: I don't know any Parliament song... I know a few that sample them, but haven't gotten into it yet. If you're sure, feel free to add it (make sure to use "Parliament" not "Parliment", it's a common mistake on here ;)

Yeah Its the back ground . I am also pretty sure the beginning and he hook when she says "la la la li la la la la la la la" is a sample from Parliments flashlight.

Oh wait, it's "hidden" in the background, "somebody's watching meeeee" on the right side (stupid laptop speakers)

Had the instrumental video, it's replaced now. It's about the vocals, but I'm not sure I agree.

It's a clear reference to the title of this song ("It's a Rockwell song, n****z are watching me through my cellphone"), but replayed the vocals? If she sung "somebody's watching meeeee" I'd agree, not sure now...

The timing literally makes no sense, dont know what happened but it should get fixed. I'm assuming the sample is the drums, never heard it before until now so nice catch.
