He certainly did earn that reputation.
Lady look I'm tryin' to figure you out (ok)
I'm tryin' to find out what you all about (yeah)
Baby girl I wanna get in ya head (my head?)
Damn is you everything that you said? (No doubt)
Mean no harm I admire ya style
Just take a second baby here me out
I know ya game you tryin' to make me shout
Yo look I'm just tryin' to figure you out
He approached me boldly said he felt me said I'm looking lonely
I had to stop 'em tell him daddy chill cause you don't know me
He said listen ma mean no harm
Just wanna let you know my story yo, don't be alarmed
Usually I'm like the bitchy type
I'm quick to hit 'em wit a 'ha yeah, ok aight'
"What's ya name again?"
But I was feeling dude
And to my surprise for once I wasn't being rude
Had these eyes that'll make you melt
So what its corny that's the way I felt
Had this body not a big deal but it helped
I mean this nigga had some shit wit 'em
And every time I tried to talk
He grabbed my hand and said sweetheart just listen
Lady look I'm tryin' to figure you out (ok)
I'm tryin' to find out what you all about (yeah)
Baby girl I wanna get in ya head (my head?)
Damn is you everything that you said? (No doubt)
Mean no harm I admire ya style
Just take a second baby here me out
I know ya game you tryin' to make me shout
Yo look I'm just tryin' to figure you out
Felt like I was little got me back to shy days
Is he being real or is he comin at me sideways?
Said he want a build wit me I'm like here we go
Said he was a regular nigga that liked my flow
Confidence is key wit me so I let him go on
Casanova saying shit like damn you got a glow on
I'm like he did his homework knowing what I like
Cant find nothing wrong on 'em and he might be my type
Continued wit his story bout his 3 years in jail
How he missed the streets cause being in there was like hell
Bout his little daughter Kira center of his world
His princess and she know she daddy's little girl
I'm looking at his face I looked at my watch
He smiled said he wished that time would stop
I apologized to 'em cause I didnt mean to be rude
He said "I know you busy just really wanted to meet you"

I know ya game you tryin' to make me shout
Yo look I'm just tryin' to figure you out
Asked me if I had a man I said that I didn't
Wanted to know if he could be that wit my permission
Told 'em that I wasn't ready he said "yeah right"
Told me that I need a real nigga in my life
I agreed wit 'em told him that'll come soon
Let him know that I enjoyed the talk but had to run soon
He asked when's the last time I took time for me?
And if I ever reflected on how shit could be
He told me I was blessed I said "dog I know it"
He said just a reminder feel that way and never blow it, huh
Slipped me his number said use it for inspiration
Kissed my cheek and whispered thank you for your conversation
Huh

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
