Follow the leader de Eric B. & Rakim

Verse one:

Follow me into a solo
Get in the flow and you can picture like a photo
Music mixed mellow maintains to make
Melodies for mc's motivates the breaks
I'm everlastin i can go on for days and days
With rhyme displays that engrave deep as x rays
I can take a phrase that's rarely heard flip it
Now it's a daily word
I can get iller than 'nam a killin bomb
But no alarm rakim will remain calm
Self-esteem make me super superb and supreme
But for a microphone still i fiend
This was a tape i wasn't supposed to break
I was supposed to wait, but let's motivate
I want to see who can keep followin and swallowin
Takin the making, bitin it and borrowin
Brothers tried and others died to get the formula
But i'ma let ya sweat - you still ain't warm
You a step away from frozen, stiff as if ya posin
Dig into my brain as the rhyme gets chosen
So follow me and were ya thinkin' you were first?
Let's travel at magnificent speeds around the universe
What could ya say as the earth gets further and further away
Planets are small as balls of clay
Astray into the milky way - world's outasight
Far as the eye can see - not even a satellite
Now stop and turn around and look
As ya stare in the darkness, ya knowledge is took
So keep starin soon ya suddenly see a star
You better follow it cause it's the r
This is a lesson if ya guessin and if ya borrowin
Hurry hurry step right up and keep followin
The leader

Verse two:

This is a lifetime mission, vision of prison
Aight listen
In this journey you're the journal i'm the journalist
Am i eternal? or an eternalist?
I'm about to flow long as i can possibly go
Keep ya movin cause the crowd said so
Dance - cuts rip ya pants
Eric b on the blades, bleedin to death - call the ambulance
Pull out my weapon and start to squeeze
A magnum as a microphone murderin' mc's
Let's quote a rhyme from a record i wrote
(follow the leader) yeah - dope
Cause everytime i stop it seems ya stuck
Soon as ya try to step off ya self-destruct
I came to overcome before i'm gone
By showin and provin and lettin knowledge be born
Then after that i'll live forever - you disagree?
You say never? then follow me
From century to century you'll remember me
In history - not a mystery or a memory
God by nature, mind raised in asia
Since you was tricked, i have to raise ya
From the cradle to the grave, but remember
You're not a slave
Cause we was put here to be much more than that
But we couldn't see it because our mind was trapped
But i'm here to break away the chains, take away the pains
Remake the brains, reveal my name
I guess nobody told you a little knowledge is dangerous
It can't be mixed, diluted; it can't be changed or switched
Here's a lesson if ya guessing and borrowing
Hurry hurry, step right up and keep following
The leader

Verse three:

A furified freestyle, lyrics of fury
My third eye makes me shine like jewelry
You're just a rent-a-rapper, your rhymes are minute-maid
I'll be here when it fade to watch you flip like a renegade
I can't wait to break and eliminate
On every traitor or snake - so stay awake
And follow and follow, because the tempo's a trail
The stage is a cage, the mic is a third rail
I'm rakim the fiend of a microphone
I'm not him, so leave my mic alone
Soon as the beat is felt, i'm ready to go
So fasten your seatbelt, cause i'm about to flow
No need to speed slow down to let the leader lead
Word to daddy, indeed
The r's a rollin stone, so i'm rollin
Directions is told, then the rhymes are stolen
Stop buggin', a brother said, dig em, i never dug 'em
He couldn't follow the leader long enough so i drug 'em
Into danger zone, he should arrange his own
Face it, it's basic, erase it, change ya tone
There's one r in the alphabet
It's a one-letter word and it's about to get
More complex from one rhyme to the next
Eric b be easy on the flex
I've been from state to state, followers tailgate
Keep comin but you came too late, but i'll wait
So back up, regroup, get a grip, come equipped
You're the next contestant - clap ya hands, you won a trip
The price is right - don't make a deal too soon
How many notes could you name this tune?
Follow the leader is the title, theme, task
Now ya know, you don't have to ask
Rap is rhythm and poetry, cuts create sound effects
You might catch up if you follow the records e. wrecks
Until then keep eatin and swallowin
You better take a deep breath and keep followin
The leader.

Versículo uno:

Sígueme en un solo
Entra en el flujo y podrás imaginarlo como una foto
Música mezclada suavemente mantiene en marcha
Melodías para MC's que motivan los breaks
Soy eterno, puedo seguir durante días y días
Con exhibiciones de rimas que graban profundamente como los rayos X
Puedo tomar una frase que rara vez se escucha y cambiarla
Ahora es una palabra de uso diario
Puedo ser más peligroso que una bomba matadora en la guerra de Vietnam
Pero sin alarma, Rakim permanecerá tranquilo
El amor propio me hace súper excelente y supremo
Pero para un micrófono, todavía lo anhelo
Esta era una cinta que no se suponía que rompiera
Se suponía que debía esperar, pero vamos a motivarnos
Quiero ver quién puede seguir y digerir
Tomando y haciendo, mordiendo y tomando prestado
Hermanos lo intentaron y otros murieron por conseguir la fórmula
Pero te haré sudar - aún no estás caliente
Estás a un paso de estar congelado, rígido como si estuvieras posando
Profundiza en mi cerebro mientras la rima es elegida
Así que sígueme y dónde creías que estabas primero?
Vamos a viajar a velocidades magníficas alrededor del universo
Qué podrías decir a medida que la tierra se aleja más y más?
Los planetas son pequeños como bolas de arcilla
Desviados hacia la Vía Láctea - el mundo es asombroso
Hasta donde alcanza la vista - ni siquiera un satélite
Ahora detente y date la vuelta y mira
Mientras miras en la oscuridad, tu conocimiento es absorbido
Así que sigue mirando pronto verás de repente una estrella
Mejor síguela porque es la r
Esta es una lección si adivinas y si tomas prestado
Date prisa, da un paso adelante y sigue
El líder

Versículo dos:

Esta es una misión de por vida, visión de prisión
Escucha
En este viaje, tú eres el diario y yo soy el periodista
Soy eterno? O un eternista?
Estoy a punto de fluir tanto como pueda
Mantente en movimiento porque la multitud lo dice
Baile - cortes rasgan tus pantalones
Eric B en las cuchillas, desangrándose hasta la muerte - llama a la ambulancia
Saco mi arma y comienzo a apretar
Un magnum como un micrófono asesinando a los MC's
Citaremos una rima de un disco que escribí
(sigue al líder) sí - genial
Porque cada vez que me detengo parece que estás atascado
Tan pronto como intentas alejarte, te autodestruyes
Vine a superar antes de irme
Mostrando y demostrando y dejando que el conocimiento nazca
Entonces después de eso viviré para siempre - no estás de acuerdo?
Dices nunca? entonces sígueme
De siglo en siglo me recordarás
En la historia - no un misterio o un recuerdo
Dios por naturaleza, mente criada en Asia
Desde que fuiste engañado, tengo que educarte
Desde la cuna hasta la tumba, pero recuerda
No eres un esclavo
Porque nos pusieron aquí para ser mucho más que eso
Pero no podíamos verlo porque nuestra mente estaba atrapada
Pero estoy aquí para romper las cadenas, quitar
