In 2007, Chipmunk released his third mixtape League of My Own on Alwayz Recordings, which utilized Wiley's little black book of producers, including Bless Beats, Maniac, Balistiyx, Danny Weed, D'Va, Swindle, and Skeams. In 2008 he reaped the rewards of constant touring and promotion, as he won the Best Newcomer Award at the Urban Music and MOBO award ceremonies. People stateside started taking notice as well, when he was nominated for best new rapper at the BET Awards. Just after Chipmunk's 18th birthday, he signed to Sony Columbia, and started moving away from grime into mainstream hip-hop. While striving for the ultimate "banging hook," he teamed up with Ironik for a big-beated remake of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer," complete with backing vocals by Sir Elton himself. In May of 2009, as he put the finishing touches on his debut full-length, Chipmunk released the promo single Chip Diddy Chip and the song reached 21 on the U.K. charts. Adding to the hype, in June, he made his fourth mixtape, Guess Who, available for free by download just a few weeks before his first official album, Diamond Rings, hit the shelves, in early July.
(2)Chip is an American soul vocalist of Stax.

Chip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crushed your heart in the palm of my hands
If you walk out baby I'll understand
'Cause all I'll do is hurt you again
Yeah, and again, and again, oops, there we go again
We messed up once
I messed up twice
Girl it's like round and round we go
I'd prefer if you left me alone
'Cause I can't take the pain and my heartbeat feels like an 808
I'm a walking disaster
Don't wanna hurt you that's why you got to go
Destruction like fire on the ground
Thats why you got to go, oh oh oh ohhh
Yeah
See the fussin and fightin, lets not
Before I see red, lets stop
This here's really the end of
I'ma find cupid and put him in a headlock
Now why did you pick on me
Why let the pretty bird shit on me
I don't need good luck but I need good love
Thats a girl that will stand by me
Look honey I didn't diss you
Therefore I shouldn't have to miss you
And now I feel like Saturdays are weaker
Me and my heart got crazy issues
And my girl it's like round and round we go,
I'll prefer if you left me alone
'Cause I can't take the pain
And my heartbeat feels like an 808
Oopsy daisy I hurt you again
Crushed your heart in the palm of my hands
If you walk out baby I'll understand
'Cause all I'll do is hurt you again
I'm a walking disaster
Don't wanna hurt you thats why you got to go
Destruction like fire on the ground
Thats why you got to go, oh oh oh ohh
Yeah
They say three times a lady
I say three times you're crazy
To done with the messin' around
Baseball love, three strikes you're out
You're too busy tryna' catch me out
But I just wanna get home
The touring, after a while gets boring
I need to come back to your touch
Look it's all too much
I guess now we gotta let go
You see me grow from a boy to a man
So this must really be the end of the road
And girl its like round and round we go,
I'd prefer if you left me alone
'Cause I can't take the pain
and my heartbeat feels like an 808
I'm a walking disaster
Don't wanna hurt you that's why you got to go
Destruction like fire on the ground
Thats why you got to go
Oopsy daisy I hurt you again
Crushed your heart in the palm of my hands
If you walk out baby I'll understand
'Cause all I'll do is hurt you again
Chip’s song Oopsy Daisy is about hurting someone repeatedly, and finally realizing that they need to let them go to prevent further harm. Chip expresses regret for hurting the person’s heart, and acknowledges that they will understand if the person decides to leave. The singer admits to being a walking disaster who doesn't want to hurt the person any further, admitting to feel like destruction like fire on the ground. They seem to be caught in a cycle of messing up, hurting the person, and trying again, but they believe it’s time to end the cycle for good.
The repeated phrase, “Oopsy Daisy I hurt you again,” emphasizes the singer’s regret and remorse for their actions towards the person they care for. The use of the metaphor “my heartbeat feels like an 808” highlights the intense impact that their actions have had on their own emotional wellbeing. The overall message of the song appears to be that sometimes, it’s best to let go of relationships that are causing more harm than good.

Being on tour gets tiring and repetitive
I need to come back to your touch
I miss the feeling of being close to you
Look it's all too much
This is all too much for me to handle
I guess now we gotta let go
We have to accept that it's time to end things
You see me grow from a boy to a man
You have been with me through my journey of growing up and maturing
So this must really be the end of the road
This is truly the end of our relationship
