Webby's mother was a middle school teacher at Nathan Hale Middle School, his father was a guitarist and he was their only child. He started listening to rap at a young age admiring Eminem, he then started writing his own raps in 2000 at age 11. He attended Greens Farms Academy, a private school in Westport, Connecticut.
Webster has differentiated himself from similar acts in the new hip-hop/frat rap genre through his detailed attention to wordplay. He is recognizable by the high number of tattoos covering his body, most of which pertain to video games (Mortal Kombat, Mario, Boo the Ghost, etc.) or to aspects of 90's culture (Transformers).
He told AllHipHop in 2013, that he uses Adderall in the studio, which he is prescribed. He explained that he was diagnosed with ADD at a young age and has been on attention medication throughout his life. He says to this day that he has very bad attention deficit disorder.
Webster's devoted fans are know as "Ninjas."
Left Lane
Chris Webby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I be living in the left lane
Passing y'all by
Sun roof rolling back, speakers up high
I be living in the left lane
Closing my eyes, watch the world from the third person inside
I be living in the left lane
Never looking back with my foot up on the gas, ain't got no time to react
Moving too fast, I'm just trying not to crash, it could all end in a flash
When you be living in the left lane
Fast money, fast women, fast cars, doing donuts in the back-yard
Middle fingers up like a rap star, telling me I go too hard
Shots all lined up on the God damn bar, with a chick so bad she dropping jaws
And I'm dropping trou and I hit that raw, yeah
Live this way till I lose my mind, me I'm doing fine
Fucking monster call me Frankenstein and Dracula combined
On my grind, in my verbal prime, still Optimus Rhyme
Got Griselda Blanco coke and no one fucking with these lines
'Cause uh, all this shit is apart of my job, the parties the woman
The liquor the music, living a life you could only imagine
Put it in words and I give it to you, kids
But I told them, please don't try this at home, you really will lose it
So don't blame me if my listeners do it (let's go)
[Chorus]
I be living in the left lane
Passing y'all by
Sun roof rolling back, speakers up high
I be living in the left lane
Closing my eyes, watch the world from the third person inside
I be living in the left lane
Never looking back with my foot up on the gas, ain't got no time to react
I be living in the left lane
Moving too fast, I'm just trying not to crash, it could all end in a flash
When you be living in the left lane
Let me carefully win, they callin' me Jeremy Lin, never stare at the rim
If you going to give me the rock I'm gonna dribble and carry it in, no comparing to him
Up on the road everyday, chugging a bottle of gin, contacts lens, 20/20
But you can't see them from under my brim, do it again ('gain)
Beast mode, Kung-fu, trees rolled, shit I'm here to rap
And if you're not I'd check that ego, try to keep it peaceful
But if they be coming at me bro
I'm rolling up in a tank, like I got Grand Theft Auto cheat codes
A mix of Mick Jagger and Morrison on tour again, pushing the fucking limits till I'm in the crematorium
'Cause when a star goes out it does so in a blaze of glory, then Mr. Harry Fraud will just bring the chorus in
[Chorus]
I be living in the left lane
Passing y'all by
Sun roof rolling back, speakers up high
I be living in the left lane
Closing my eyes, watch the world from the third person inside
I be living in the left lane
Never looking back with my foot up on the gas, ain't got no time to react
I be living in the left lane
Moving too fast, I'm just trying not to crash, it could all end in a flash
When you be living in the left lane
The lyrics of Chris Webby's "Left Lane" portray a life lived on the edge, constantly moving forward and ignoring the consequences. The chorus repeats the line "I be living in the left lane," which is a metaphor for life in the fast lane, where one is always in the fast lane, passing by everything else. The singer takes pleasure in this pace of life, enjoying the speed, the music, and the adrenaline rush. There's a sense of freedom and rebellion, which is reflected in the line "Never looking back with my foot up on the gas, ain't got no time to react."
The verses give more details about this exhilarating lifestyle. The singer talks about fast money, women, and cars, and how he feels like a rock star, with middle fingers up and shots lined up on the bar. He is not afraid to take risks, even when it comes to his own health, as he sings about "hitting it raw." The second verse also references basketball player Jeremy Lin, implying that Chris Webby is also an underdog who has made it big. The verse ends with a reference to the famous rock stars Mick Jagger and Jim Morrison, suggesting that Chris Webby is carrying on their legacy of rock n roll and rebellion. Overall, the song is a celebration of a fast-paced, reckless lifestyle, where the only thing that matters is the rush of the moment.

I be living in the left lane
I always live life in the fast lane
Passing y'all by
I leave everyone behind and move on
Sun roof rolling back, speakers up high
I enjoy everything about the ride, the music and the fresh air
Closing my eyes, watch the world from the third person inside
I watch and enjoy everything from a third person perspective
Never looking back with my foot up on the gas, ain't got no time to react
I don't have any time to waste, I always move forward and never look back
Moving too fast, I'm just trying not to crash, it could all end in a flash
I know that everything could end in a moment if I'm not careful
Fast money, fast women, fast cars, doing donuts in the back-yard
I enjoy everything that comes with living fast
Middle fingers up like a rap star, telling me I go too hard
People criticize me for my lifestyle, but I don't care
Shots all lined up on the God damn bar, with a chick so bad she dropping jaws
I party hard with alcohol and attractive women
And I'm dropping trou and I hit that raw, yeah
I have unprotected sex with women
Live this way till I lose my mind, me I'm doing fine
I'm having a good time living this way
Fucking monster call me Frankenstein and Dracula combined
I'm a different kind of human with unusual qualities
On my grind, in my verbal prime, still Optimus Rhyme
I'm still good at what I do and I'm working hard to get better
Got Griselda Blanco coke and no one fucking with these lines
I have the best lyrics and no one can match them
All this shit is apart of my job, the parties the woman / The liquor the music, living a life you could only imagine
This lifestyle comes with my job and it's something that most people can only dream of
Put it in words and I give it to you, kids / But I told them, please don't try this at home, you really will lose it
I share my experiences with people through my music, but I also warn them not to try it themselves
Let me carefully win, they callin' me Jeremy Lin, never stare at the rim
I play it safe and take calculated risks
If you going to give me the rock I'm gonna dribble and carry it in, no comparing to him
I have my own style and I'm not like anyone else
Up on the road everyday, chugging a bottle of gin, contacts lens, 20/20 / But you can't see them from under my brim, do it again ('gain)
I travel a lot and I can handle it, even after drinking alcohol, but I can't show it
Beast mode, Kung-fu, trees rolled, shit I'm here to rap
I'm always ready to perform and I enjoy doing it
And if you're not I'd check that ego, try to keep it peaceful
If someone doesn't like what I do, it's their issue and they should learn to accept it
But if they be coming at me bro / I'm rolling up in a tank, like I got Grand Theft Auto cheat codes
If someone tries to mess with me, I'm ready to fight back and I'm not afraid to be violent
A mix of Mick Jagger and Morrison on tour again, pushing the fucking limits till I'm in the crematorium
I'm always going beyond my limits and I'm ready to die while doing it
'Cause when a star goes out it does so in a blaze of glory, then Mr. Harry Fraud will just bring the chorus in
I'll continue living the same way until the end and Harry Fraud will always make good music for me
