Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love my mom
[Verse 2]
I love my mom but I don't wanna see her right now
'Cause she's gonna take one look at me and worry about my lifestyle
Don't worry about my lifestyle
You know your son, your son's gotta go
I got this whole thing under control
Yes, I'm losin' weight and my eyes are red
Maybe 'cause I'm a man that lies in bed
[Verse 3]
Rackin' my brain for answers 'cause I've been out here runnin' my mouth
Chattin' 'bout progress
They say it's a process
But I want it right now
So I gotta live this way because to play the boss you gotta pay the cost
And that cost might come as a major loss
And that's just the life I chose
[Verse 4]
Don't trust no one, I get no peace
Everyday petrol from west to east
I love to sleep, I love to eat
But I don't get no rest or feast
And that's the reason I ain't afraid of my foes
Jumped on the grind and I stayed on my toes
And, mama, believe it or not
Couple man got a problem with me
[Verse 5]
Some of the man, them rob them for me
So every time I start writin' songs
I've gotta face the things I've been hidin' from
They wanna ride or die
Tell 'em, ride along
Just know that it's real in the field
I don't wanna hear no cryin' or moanin'
I ain't got time for no sighin' or groanin'
You gotta be down to grind on your own ting
[Verse 6]
Just follow the leader
Come follow the leader
You gotta be accountable for your own decisions
Or you won't get no sorrow with me though
Follow the leader
Come follow the leader
You gotta be accountable for your own decisions
You won't get no sorrow with me though
[Verse 7]
'Round, 'round we go
Follow the leader
And it's down, down we fall
Follow the leader
'Round, 'round we go
Follow the leader
If we're dyin' on the inside
How we gonna live right?
[Verse 8]
'Round, 'round we go
And it's down, down we fall
'Round, 'round we go
Keep your flowers in the sunlight
I just gotta live right, right
[Verse 9]
Flowers by the doorstep
I don't where they're from
And how did we all get here, yeah?
And where do I belong?
And anywhere the wind blows
You left me turned to stone
But the sunlight in the window
Tellin' me you're wrong
You're wrong
[Verse 10]
Follow the leader
Come follow the leader
You gotta be accountable for your own decisions
Or you won't get no sorrow with me though
Follow the leader
Come follow the leader
You gotta be accountable for your own decisions
You won't get no sorrow with me though
[Verse 11]
'Round, 'round we go
Follow the leader
And it's down, down we fall
Follow the leader
'Round, 'round we go
Follow the leader
If we're dyin' on the inside
How we gonna live right?
[Verse 12]
'Round, 'round we go
And it's down, down we fall
'Round, 'round we go
Keep your flowers in the sunlight
I just gotta live right, right
