Follow My Lead
[feat. Joel Ortiz] [Verse 1:] I got bitches on my dick, I don't want em near Closest full of brand names I don't wanna wear Everybody got advice that I don't wanna hear World in your palm but you don't wanna share Still I'm following you... Are you leading me with a weapon drawn Co-dependent on her but got me in bed alone You say if you love it let it go, nothing set in stone Plus every rock they throw I use as a stepping stone Got questions, say the answer's better left unknown Though I may not never see you I should know you never gone So I break the mirror, cause everything it's showing me is wrong Grab your hand and go along, cause I'm following you Say I should be pleased, what if I'm saddened Always say I been through worse, what if I hadn't But if that holds true, here's the lesson If you keep your head down you might miss out on the blessing [Hook:] 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 SongtexteI don't want the bad bitch, I don't want the strain I don't want the highs, enough shit on the brain I don't want whatever's gonna help me be insane I just want to follow your lead [Verse 2:] You sayin follow my lead, follow follow my lead Brought me to my knees, he must wanna holla at me When the world feels like swallowin me When every decision's costly, and I don't got a dollar on me Check it, I don't wanna pretend, I don't wanna live a lie I don't wanna be judged, don't wanna be criticized I don't wanna talk, there's nothing I want to say The more that they get to know me The more they just run away And that, must be a way saying we should stay together I know how to fuck it up more than I can make it better I figured folk around me would learn to take it better Instead of try to change me, I've 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, living a dream Nothing in this world powerful enough to pause it, SING! [Hook] [Verse 3:] They 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 might not know the destination but I make it there safe When I feel like I can't get weaker You always come and make a cameo or feature I'm good with my insanity and fevers Cause Pac's lookin from heaven sayin they ain't understand me neither A lot of times you leave me exposed And laugh at me still thinking I could be in control But I Weather the storm, altogether I ain't know him Though I always disagree you ain't never been wrong Listen, I was feelin nearly unstoppable Now I'm facing what appeared to be impossible Feelin unimportant enough to have to bother you But I'm down here alone nigga, all I got is you [Hook] [Verse 4: Joell Ortiz] I can't fit it all in a 16 That night that I was tipsy, and all those bullets missed me The day they rushed the block, I was strapped but they didn't frisk me Why I ain't fuck that stripper Don't ask, and now she's sick b The drop on that jewelry store for 50's And I backed out last minute, like nah that shit look risky One of my mans dead, the other in Poughkeepsie Another one in the feds, he'll be there till he's 60 I want to thank you for the blessings and the gifts And the lessons, and the messages they left, I get the drift Fuck the cheddar or whatever, it don't measure up to this I mean never did I ever not remember you exist When I hop up out my bed, hands together and I wish You knew it was from the heart, inside my chest you let it...
