Follow Your Lead Songtext

von Joe Budden

[Joe Budden - Verse 1]
Uh, I got bitches on my dick, I don? t want em there.
Closet full of brand names, I don? t wanna wear
Everybody 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 bitch, I don? t want the strain.
I dont want the highs, enough shit 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, uh
You always come and make a cameo or feature.
I? m good with my insanity and fevers
Cause 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 nigga, 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 shit 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]
