Chip feat. Eric B Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hi world, whats poppin?
Tryna fight the game, they just cock blockin
Aiming for the top and I am not stopping
They gassed up and I'm balloon poppin
Real leader. need help, holla me
Chyeaah, feel the presence when I come through
New or old, I run school
And I was never blinded by the lights
But I've always had stars in my eyes
So whether open or closed my vision's in line
and maybe that's the reason why
I'm one step ahead of you, you never catch up to me
Everybody else is just following me
So just follow my lead, you can follow my lead
I'ma star I'll show you the way
i'm one step ahead of you, you never catch up to me
everybody else is just following me
so just follow my lead, you can follow my lead
ima star ill show you the way
Cheaah, try test me on stage, you'll be left burning
I kill bills, Uma Thurman
You get tired diorrns, I get lie-in morns
You don't think you're the best, why you lying for?
Cleaning up caah been a mess
Me, I never rest. I'm rest-less
I'm F up you sex-less
The vocabs are stubbing
Popstar p.s wordsmith I'm killing it
Gimme 25, then imagine my level when I'm 25- scary times
Mc's on my level there's none
I don't feel anyone I'm nummmbb
And I was never blinded by the lights
But I've always had stars in my eyes
So whether open or closed my vision's in line
and maybe that's the reason why
I'm one step ahead of you, you never catch up to me
Everybody else is just following me
So just follow my lead, you can follow my lead
I'ma star I'll show you the way
i'm one step ahead of you, you never catch up to me
everybody else is just following me
so just follow my lead, you can follow my lead
ima star ill show you the way
Yeah and I'ma come up there with running their mouth
And now they silent like the B in doubt, no doubt
I didn't wanna be the boy with the rhymes,
that spent years in the game but never made no clout
and when I see others success I rate, to me enough of them can't relate
its cool- you ain't even gotta feel my pain, just feel my rain
I'm one step ahead of you, you never catch up to me
Everybody else is just following me
So just follow my lead, you can follow my lead
I'ma star I'll show you the way
im one step ahead of you, you never catch up to me
everybody else is just following me
so just follow my lead, you can follow my lead
ima star ill show you the way
im one step ahead of you, you never catch up to me
everybody else is just following me
so just follow my lead, you can follow my lead
ima star ill show you the way
im one step ahead of you, you never catch up to me
everybody else is just following me
so just follow my lead, you can follow my lead
ima star ill show you the way
follow my lead, you can follow my lead
follow my lead, you can follow my lead




follow my lead, you can follow my lead
ima star ill show you the way
