Lead Don't Follow Video (MV)

People have been following not leading
Well I've been leading not following
I'm an example
I've been a leader my entire life
I know because I've seen it in plain sight
From the beats I've made to the songs I've done
To everything I do under the sun
I don't follow, I lead. I'm an example
Of what happens when your ambition is ample
And you want to stand out in the best possible way
But you don't want to stay on the familiar path
I did the math, studied rap albums, that's all I've done
Now I produce and rap, proving I ain't dumb
But I do it to show the show the world it ain't impossible
For a rapper to be autistic, it is possible
Just listen to the words I'm spitting on this track
It's not lax, it's complex and that's a fact
I may not be who I'm supposed to be
But I am me, and that's who I am
Lead, don't follow, that's my definition
If you're a follower then you've got to listen
To my advice, I'm trying to make you think twice
About the direction you're in, it's not very nice
And if you lead by example, you're number one
This is more fun than trying to conform
Society wants you this way since the day you were born
So go ahead, go out and do what you need to do
"Lead don't follow" is an example I have set
So what if I get a lot of disrespect
I make the music I want and that makes me happy
But I won't be happy until they all gets a taste
Of the T. Karras flow, the T. Karras show
My ambition isn't to make dough but to let you know
That I have skills as an artist and I go the hardest
On any track that they provide, I go the farthest
Provide you with deep meaning everywhere that I go
With the simplicity that'll help you get more
Out of life, I may be complex sometimes
But there are a lot of rhymes I need to get off my mind
So I set this example in hopes that others will follow
Not wallow around as if they're work isn't good
For the masses, because those people are classless
They may be popular but they don't make classics
Lead, don't follow, that's my definition
If you're a follower then you've got to listen
To my advice, I'm trying to make you think twice
About the direction you're in, it's not very nice
And if you lead by example, you're number one
This is more fun than trying to conform
Society wants you this way since the day you were born
So go ahead, go out and do what you need to do
Now I've had it with what they shove down our throats
People being followers and it just truly hurts
To see a lack of creativity going around
Hearing the same sound can make a person insane
It's so lame when there's only one style of music
Why can't rappers take their skills and just choose to
Go outside the box, think a little here and there
What are you scared of? Your music being denied?
I provide the unique tunes that music's been missin'
While all the other people have been butt-kissin'
I've been following my own path, being independent
Some people are too "in shock" to even comprehend it
How I lead by example, not follow everybody else
All that following can lead to a lack of self
Individuality is what you need if you want to make it
Success is out there, you just gotta reach and take it
Lead, don't follow, that's my definition
If you're a follower then you've got to listen
To my advice, I'm trying to make you think twice
About the direction you're in, it's not very nice
And if you lead by example, you're number one
This is more fun than trying to conform
Society wants you this way since the day you were born
So go ahead, go out and do what you need to do
Lead, don't follow, that's my definition
If you're a follower then you've got to listen
To my advice, I'm trying to make you think twice
About the direction you're in, it's not very nice
And if you lead by example, you're number one
This is more fun than trying to conform
Society wants you this way since the day you were born
So go ahead, go out and do what you need to do
