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.

Own World
Chip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo
Zoobie in my mouth, I'm in my own world
Thought she was the one, now she my old girl
"Can you take me on a date?", the answer's no girl
I can't trust these bitches, give my heart to no girl
I've been so surrounded I still feel alone
She been tryna link, I'm in my own world
Can't trust this bitches, give my heart to no girl
I can't name a bill that I would split with you
But I can't give you my heart, it might get split in two
Been goin' through sticky times, been rollin' sticky food
Would you rather pick and choose, or rather stick and lose?
Don't put my trust in dawgs (no), don't put my trust in girls (no)
Seen mandem leave their dawgs (gone), and put their trust in girls (oh)
Don't ask me who I love just understand I love myself
Me, I put my trust in God (God), and I put my trust in self (oh)
Been tryna level up, while you been tryna settle down
Got my powers in my palm, come to far to settle now
So what the fuck I want with feelings, been tryna focus on these pounds
She might wake and wanna leave me, music never turns me down
Yatees want attention, please don't interrupt, I'm zonin'
Writin' on my iPhone, I ain't tryna see my phone ring
I don't see my wedding finger ever rockin' no ring
Runnin' to the money like a trapper when his phone rings
Zoobie in my mouth, I'm in my own world (own world)
Thought she was the one, now she my old girl (old girl)
"Can you take me on a date?", the answer's no girl (no girl)
I can't trust these bitches, give my heart to no girl
I've been so surrounded I still feel alone (feel alone)
Switch my phone on plane mode that means leave me 'lone (leave me 'lone)
She been tryna link, I'm in my own world
Can't trust this bitches, give my heart to no girl
Percosex, Percocet, while I reminisce (yeah)
I was broke before but now there's money everywhere
Baby girl, I'll teach your brother how to celebrate
I was trapped, I had the cocaine on Mountain Everest
I just decided to abandon you
Keep this pole on me, broski, he keep one too
And I know you in your feelings the way you're goin' through my phone, girl
And the way DM's gonna break your heart, gonna really leave you broke, girl
I'm just tryna smoke this pound of weed, I'm in my own world
I been tellin' God protect me deep inside this cold world
Real fuckin' trap nigga, so I only love my stove girl
Last night I fucked a model bitch and I hope she never tell
Zoobie in my mouth, I'm in my own world (own world)
Thought she was the one, now she my old girl (old girl)
"Can you take me on a date?", the answer's no girl (no girl)
I can't trust these bitches, give my heart to no girl
I've been so surrounded I still feel alone (feel alone)
Switch my phone on plane mode that means leave me 'lone (leave me 'lone)
She been tryna link, I'm in my own world
Can't trust this bitches, give my heart to no girl

I'm a real drug dealer, so the only thing I care about is my stove (where I cook drugs)
Last night I fucked a model bitch and I hope she never tell
I slept with a model last night, and I hope she doesn't expose me
