C'mon
Chester French Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyone want to get a piece of what I got today (uh huh)
Show me cars tell me all about the stars you used to play (uh huh)
You wanna run it all
So you can really ball
But you should never try to walk until you learn to crawl
Don?t wanna hold your hand
Just wanna be a man
But I don?t think you understand

(C'mon)
No no no don?t you tell me what to do
Cause I'm going on my own
Yeah I'm going on my own
And baby no no no don?t you tell me what to say
Cause I'm going on my own
Well I'm going on my own

Everytime that you get me on the line its all the same (uh huh)
Porn star tale got a condo out in ?.. you own the game (uh huh)
You wanna run it all
So you can really ball
But you should never try to walk until you learn to crawl
Don?t wanna hold your hand
Just wanna be a man
But I don?t think you understand

(c'mon)
No no no don?t you tell me what to do
Cause I'm going on my own
Yeah I'm goin on my own
And baby no no no don?t you tell me what to say
Cause I'm going on my own
Well I'm going on my own

Oh no
Don?t you tell me that you get me pay
Valley kicks and a seat okay
Oh ill be living the life
And oh no
Don?t you tell me that you got big plans
Mother fucker, this is in my hands
And ill be calling the shots

(uh uh)
You wanna run it all
So you can really ball
But you should never try to walk until you learn to crawl (crawl)
Don?t wanna hold your hand
Just wanna be a man
But I don?t think you understand

No no no don?t you tell me what to do
Cause I'm going on my own
Yeah I'm going on my own
And baby no no no don?t you tell me what to say




Cause I'm going on my own
Well I'm going on my own
