LEADERS
Trippie Redd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop actin' cool, we're not believers at all
I'm tellin' you, dawg
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sometimes I feel like I just can't get enough
Sometimes I'm holding on but just can't get up
Sometimes I think about keeping my head up (yeah)
I look up, I look down, I look up
I look when I feel (feel), I look when I feel you
I look when I feel, I look when I feel you
Damn, damn
Damn, damn, damn, damn (damn), damn (damn), damn
(Damn, yeah, oh)
Sometimes I wear my heart on my sleeve
Sometimes I wanna break down in tears on my knees
Sometimes I just can't breathe
On God
The opening lines of Trippie Redd's "LEADERS" reminisce about past experiences: "Back in school, we were the leaders." This might suggest the singer and his peers' former status as the most popular and influential students in their school. However, as time passes, they stop trying to impress people and lose their faith in the same ideals that they once preached. They're no longer believers and would rather be true to themselves than be something they're not. The line "Stop actin' cool, we're not believers at all" conveys this sentiment: Trippie Redd sees through the pretenses of others and values authenticity.
