Prometheus Songtext

von Crooked I

Follow me...

Follow me, my nigga, just follow me
To the edge of the world, then across the seven seas
To a corner in space, a part of heaven you never seen
To a time in a place that only existed in your dreams
(Follow me, follow me)

They say you stuck in the past, times are different
Crooked, your rhymes are different, how many lines you sniffin'?
When I'm spittin', I'm just bendin' the fabric of space, so time is shiftin'
Your thoughts travel, that's why your mind is trippin'
This is an open invitation, the black, white, yellow, brown, no discrimination
As long as you understand this nation was built on hella discrimination
Now you talkin' Illuminati Mason to shift the conversation from the Fruitvale Station
And what happened to Oscar Grant, distraction but not the champ, nigga
Eminem signed my group Slaughterhouse
And I been writin' "Fuck you!" letters ever since I got the stamp, nigga
Fuck you right-wing politicians considerably
Got these redneck-ass crackers thinkin' that a black-ass nigga trapped in the ghetto is the enemy
In reality, you don't care 'bout them either
You the ballin' class, no gym teacher
You can do away with either/or
We the poor, the one there's no freedom for
Follow me, show you shit you never seen before
They want to sweep us under the rug and use us to clean the floor
Follow me, my nigga, just follow me
Take a look at my Hubble 'scope, view far as the eye can see
First, they teach us hustle dope, then lock us and swallow key
If money's the root of all evil, then my legal tender fell off of they dollar tree
Cause all I see is them embodyin' everything they tellin' me not to be: a criminal
Let me make sure that this ain't subliminal
Fuck every judge and juror that's probably a Nazi and love the Führer
They usin' us as a pawn on they chessboard
Been plannin' to lock your ass up since they seen your third-grade test scores
As if a poor kid growin' up in a crack-infested gangland got a clear enough mind to get the best scores
Yes, Lord, still I rise, I got to press forward
Pull my lesson plan out my desk drawer
Follow me, it don't matter if you Muslim or Christian
Both can be such beautiful religions that can turn ugly as pictures of Instagram bitches without filter
When people empower, use it to cause division
It's been, since the biblical era Esau and Jacob was wrestlin' in Rebekah's womb
Holy prophets expected doom
Bury these scriptures, I'm spittin' in Kxng Crooked's tomb
For future generations to unearth a million moons from now
Carbon date the paper before you read
If the world's a better place they took heed, follow me

Truth and unity is all we need (All we need)
(Follow me, follow me)
Truth and unity is all we need (All we need)
(Follow me, follow me)

Follow me...
