"I Always Feel Like" is a song written and performed by American rappers Master P, Silkk the Shocker and Mia X. It was released on January 21, 1997, via No Limit/Priority Records as the lead single from TRU's fourth studio album Tru 2 da Game. Produced at No Limit Studios by Beats By the Pound members Mo B. Dick, KLC and Craig B., the song incorporated the melody and contained re-sung elements of Rockwell's 1984 hit "Somebody's Watching Me", with Mo B. Dick singing the hook from the original song.

Released less than a month before Tru 2 da Game, "I Always Feel Like" became the group's most successful single, reaching number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 27 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and number 11 on the Hot Rap Songs charts in the United States.
