Follow My Lead
Chipmunk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hi world, what's 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
'Cause if twitter had a twitter I bet it would follow me
Chyeah, 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'ma star I'll show you the way

Chyeah, 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 'cause been a mess
Me, I never rest, I'm rest-less
I'm F up you sex-less
The vocab's are stubbing
Pop star p.s wordsmith I'm killing it
Gimme twenty-five, then imagine my level when I'm twenty-five, scary times
Emcees on my level there's none
I don't feel anyone I'm numb

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'ma star I'll 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
It's 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
I'ma star I'll show you the way





I'ma star I'll show you the way
I'ma star I'll show you the way

Overall Meaning

Eric B, the artist is expressing his ambition and confidence towards achieving success in the music industry while also highlighting that he is a true leader with vision. The first verse indicates that many people may try to block his way to the top, but his determination and skill will not let them succeed.

In the chorus, Chipmunk affirms that he is always one step ahead of others, who are just following him. He also emphasizes his position as a star who can guide others on the path to success.


The next verse is more aggressive and contains Chipmunk's self-promotion as an expert in his field. He suggests that he can easily defeat anyone who tests him on stage, and that his lyrics are original and incomparable to others. Additionally, he plays on the word "rest" to illustrate how he does not stop working, and how he is restless to achieve his goals. He also notes that his talent is unmatched and that he is numb to anyone who tries to compete with him. In the last verse, Chipmunk reflects on his journey to success and how he never wanted to be just any rapper with no impact.
