[Chorus]
The chorus continues with the message of the song: "Mind your B" is an abbreviation for "mind your business." The phrase is repeated, highlighting the core theme of the song, which is to remind people to focus on their own lives and not interfere with others'.

[Verse 1]
In these verses, Britney expresses her frustration with people constantly watching and judging her (and other celebrities). The lines "Too much looky-looky, get up off me" and "Too much watchy, whoa" reflect the excessive attention she receives. The reference to the "cookie jar" and "hands up in the cookie jar" could symbolize the invasion of her personal space or the media trying to expose her private life.

The mention of "eyes up in the sky" suggests surveillance and the constant presence of paparazzi cameras. Britney acknowledges the scrutiny and compares it to posing for a camera, indicating the lack of privacy in her life.

[Verse 2]
These verses further highlight the widespread attention Britney faces as a celebrity. She mentions different locations like "Uptown, downtown, everywhere I turn around" and "Hollywood, London," implying that she is constantly being watched regardless of her location. The "snap-snap" sound represents the constant flashing of cameras.

will.i.am's verse reiterates the theme of being tired of being watched, with "looky-looky" being used again. The line "Police gotta stayin' watchin' every step I take" may refer to the constant monitoring by both the media and law enforcement.

[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus is repeated again to further emphasize the core theme.

will.i.am takes the lead in this verse, expressing his own frustration with the constant attention and judgment he faces. He refers to the "looky-loos," people who are excessively curious and intrusive, and compares the attention he receives to being treated as "breaking news."

[Verse 4]
Britney's verse in this section continues the theme of desiring privacy. She wants people to back off, and if they don't, she humorously suggests that she'll release the "dogs" on them, which could mean taking legal action or having her own security step in to protect her boundaries.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats once again, firmly delivering the message of the song.

[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus concludes the song, restating the core message that people should mind their own business.
