[Joe Budden - Verse 1]uh,
I got *****es on my *****,
I don’t want em there.closet full of brand names,
I don’t wanna weareverybody got advice that
I don’t wanna hear,
World in ya palm, but you don’t wanna share, still,
I’m followin’ you.are you leadin’ me with the weapons drawn?co-dependent on her, but got me in bed alone.you say if you love it, let it go.nothin’ set in stone, plus every rock they throw,
I use as a stepping stone.got questions, say the answers better left unknown.no
I may not never see you,
I should know you never gone.so
I break the mirror cause, everything it’s showin’ me is wrong.grab your hand and go along, cause
I’m followin’ you.say
I should be pleased, what if
I’m saddened?always say
I been through worse, what if
I haven’t?but if that holds true, here’s the lesson,if you keep your head down, you might miss out on the blessing.sing![Chorus]
I don’t need the money,
I don’t need the fame.
I don’t need the lifestyle,
I don’t need the pain.
I don’t need the clubs,
I don’t need the cars.none of that really matters to me.
I dont want the bad *****,
I don’t want the strain.
I dont want the highs, enough *******t on the brain.
I dont want whatevers gonna help me be sane,
I just wanna follow your lead.[Joe Budden - Verse 2]you sayin’, “follow my lead, follow, follow my lead”brought me to my knees, she must wanna holla at me.when the
World feel like swallowin’ me,when every decision costly, and
I ain’t got a dolla on me.check it,
I don’t wanna pretend,
I don’t wanna live a lie.
I don’t wanna be judged, dont wanna be criticized.
I dont wanna talk, there nothin’
I wanna say,boy,
I let em get to know me, the more they just runaway.and that, must be your way of sayin’ we should stay together.
I know how to f-ck it up, more then
I can make it better.
I figured folk around me would learn to take it better,instead of tryna change me,
I been this way forever.time will reveal, more will be shown.you pushed it,
I thought the door closed on it’s own.but uh, nevermind what caused it, livin’ a dream,nothin’ in this
World powerful enough to pause it.sing![Chorus][Joe Budden - Verse 3]sayin’ “follow my lead, follow, follow my lead.”cig in my mouth, perscription bottle by me.and even when
I think you might be making a mistake,
I may not know the destination but
I make it there safe.check it, when
I feel like
I can’t get weaker, uhyou always come and make a cameo or feature.
I’m good with my insanity and feverscause
Pac’s looking from heaven saying “
They ain’t understand me neither”alotta times you leave me exposed,and laugh at me, still thinking
I could be in control.help me weather the storm, altogether
I ain’t norm.cause
I always disagree, though you aint never been wrong.listen,
I was feeling nearly unstoppable,and now
I’m facing what appeared to be impossible.feeling unimportant enough to have to bother you.but
I’m down here alone *****, all
I got is you.[Chorus][Female voice]uh, follow my lead.ohhh, follow my lead.[Joell Ortiz](Check it, YAOWA)
I can’t fit it all in a 16,the night that
I was tipsy,and all them bullets just missed me.the day they rushed the block,
I was strapped, but they didn’t frisk me.why
I ain’t f-ck that stripper?don’t ask, and now she sick
B.the drop on that jewelry store for 50.and
I backed out last minute like “nah, this *******t look risky”one of my mans dead, the other one in pikipsy?‘nother one in the feds, he’ll be there until he’s sixty.
I wanna thank you for the blessings and the gifts.and the lessons and the messages they left,
I get the drift.f-ck the cheddar or whatever, it don’t measure up to this.
I mean, never did
I ever not remember you exsist.when
I hop up out my bed, hands together,and our wish, is what you is from the heart,inside my chest, you let it tick.
I love you from my soul, with every spiritual molecule.f-ck twitter, all a n-gga gotta do is follow you.[Chorus]
