‎Follow Me
Donald Glover John Kani Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who are you?
I know exactly who I am, the question is who are you?
I'm nobody so, leave me alone, alright?
Everybody is somebody, even a nobody
Yeah, I think you're confused
I am confused? You don't even know who you are
Oh? And I suppose you do?
Follow me, I will show you




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Follow Me" by Donald Glover and Chiwetel Ejiofor is a conversation between two people, where one person is questioning their own identity, while the other is trying to guide them towards self-discovery. The person who is questioning their identity is initially dismissive, stating that they are a nobody and that they should be left alone. However, the other person asserts that everyone is somebody, even if they feel like a nobody. There is a sense of confusion and uncertainty in the lyrics, with both parties grappling with their own sense of self.


Towards the end, the person who is more self-assured invites the other to follow them, suggesting that they have the answers to the other person's questions about their identity. The song can be interpreted as a conversation about the importance of self-discovery, and the difficulty of finding one's place in the world. It's a reflection of the human experience, where we all struggle to find our identity and where we belong.
