Lyrics

Oh, I'm not your stepping stone, no
I'm not your stepping stone
Heard you're tryna make your mark on society
By using all the tricks that you used on me
You're reading all them high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin' lately causing public scenes
I said, "I'm not your stepping stone", no
No, I'm not your stepping stone, oh
Not your stepping stone
(Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
No stepping stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Not your stepping stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Not your stepping stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
No
I'm not your stepping stone
No, I'm not your stepping stone
When I first met you girl
You didn't have no shoes
But now you're walking 'round
Like you're front page news
You've been awful careful
'Bout the friends you choose
But you won't find my name
In your book of who's who
I said, "I'm not your stepping stone"
Not me no
I said, "I'm not your stepping stone", no
Not your stepping stone
(Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
No stepping stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Your stepping stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Not your stepping stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
No
Ooh
Not your stepping stone
(Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)
No stepping stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Baby baby stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Oh, I'm not your stepping stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Ah baby, I'm not no stepping stone
Not no stepping stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
No no-no-no, no stepping stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
No no, I'm not no stepping stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Not your stepping stone, your stepping stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Oh wow not your stepping stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Stepping, stepping, stepping
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Stepping, stepping, stepping stone
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Your stepping stone
