Joe Budden - Follow My Lead Lyrics
[Verse 1:]I got *****es on my dick, I don't want em nearClosest full of brand names I don't wanna wearEverybody got advice that I don't wanna hearWorld in your palm but you don't wanna shareStill I'm following you... Are you leading me with a weapon drawnCo-dependent on her but got me in bed aloneYou say if you love it let it go, nothing set in stonePlus every rock they throw I use as a stepping stoneGot questions, say the answer's better left unknownThough I may not never see you I should know you never goneSo I break the mirror, cause everything it's showing me is wrongGrab your hand and go along, cause I'm following youSay I should be pleased, what if I'm saddenedAlways say I been through worse, what if I hadn'tBut if that holds true, here's the lessonIf you keep your head down you might miss out on the blessing[Hook:]I don't need the money, I don't need the fameI don't need the lifestyle, I don't need the painI don't need the clubs, I don't need the carsNone of that really matters to meI don't want the bad *****, I don't want the strainI don't want the highs, enough shit on the brainI don't want whatever's gonna help me be insaneI just want to follow your lead[Verse 2:]You sayin follow my lead, follow follow my leadBrought me to my knees, he must wanna holla at meWhen the world feels like swallowin meWhen every decision's costly, and I don't got a dollar on meCheck it, I don't wanna pretend, I don't wanna live a lieI don't wanna be judged, don't wanna be criticizedI don't wanna talk, there's nothing I want to sayThe more that they get to know meThe more they just run awayAnd that, must be a way saying we should stay togetherI know how to ***** it up more than I can make it betterI figured folk around me would learn to take it betterInstead of try to change me, I've been this way foreverTime will reveal more will be shown, you pushed itI thought the door closed on it's ownBut uh, nevermind what caused it, living a dreamNothing in this world powerful enough to pause it, SING! [Hook][Verse 3:]They sayin follow my lead, follow follow my leadCig in my mouth perscription bottle by meAnd even when I think you might be making a mistakeI might not know the destination but I make it there safeWhen I feel like I can't get weakerYou always come and make a cameo or featureI'm good with my insanity and feversCause Pac's lookin from heaven sayin they ain't understand me neitherA lot of times you leave me exposedAnd laugh at me still thinking I could be in controlBut I Weather the storm, altogether I ain't know himThough I always disagree you ain't never been wrongListen, I was feelin nearly unstoppableNow I'm facing what appeared to be impossibleFeelin unimportant enough to have to bother youBut I'm down here alone nigga, all I got is you[Hook][Verse 4: Joell Ortiz]I can't fit it all in a 16That night that I was tipsy, and all those bullets missed meThe day they rushed the block, I was strapped but they didn't frisk meWhy I ain't ***** that stripperDon't ask, and now she's sick bThe drop on that jewelry store for 50'sAnd I backed out last minute, like nah that shit look riskyOne of my mans dead, the other in PoughkeepsieAnother one in the feds, he'll be there till he's 60I want to thank you for the blessings and the giftsAnd the lessons, and the messages they left, I get the drift***** the cheddar or whatever, it don't measure up to thisI mean never did I ever not remember you existWhen I hop up out my bed, hands together and I wishYou knew it was from the heart, inside my chest you let it... [Hook]
