Follow the Leader

I recall when you were born

Vulnerable needing some warmth/

Skin to skin you would lay on

Chest to rest to regulate your heart rate/

To adapt to this big world

Innocent such a gift daddy's lil girl/

infinite love witnessing how you grip my hand

Do I sit or stand this a trip I'ma tell friend/

This must be what, Yah, feels like when,

He made humans in his image/

Now you're grinning, I see me in

Y-O-U in this ward room/

Keeping you bundled while I give you food

Minutes moving like a pacing mule/

What a complacent mood is your demeanor

In need of guidance from a leader/

Follow the leader (follow the leader)

Follow the leader (follow the leader)

Life will be sweeter not meager

I know you eager baby girl follow the leader/

Now you walking on your own own own

Quick to pretend you're on the phone phone phone/

Impatient to be grown grown grown

Acting like Simba too much Lion King maybe we/

Cancel Disney Plus, now you're in a rush

Yearning for independence

"I can do it" is your favorite sentence/

If you listen there's more for me to instruct

I'm not trying to impede just want you to succeed/

At times there'll be moments you'll lead

Other times you'll lean on the help of your team/

Our ancestors had Harriet T

Marvin Gaye made way for Frankie Beverly/

I'm telling you what the Lord is telling me

You can choose to ignore and fail miserably/

There I'll be, still standing at your side open handed

You realize you can't do it by your own planning/

Hut 1, hut 2, hut 3, hut 4

We all wanna lead of course/

But don't wanna follow the source now

Slow it down/
