Rakim'll say

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

Follow the leader

Rakim'll say "Follow the leader "

Rakim'll say "Follow the leader "

Keep Followin'

Rakim'll say "Follow the leader "

Rakim'll say "Follow the leader "

Rakim'll say "Follow the leader "

Rakim'll say "Follow the leader

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 **

'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

Follow the leader

Rakim'll say "Follow the leader "

Rakim'll say "Follow the leader "

Rakim'll say "Follow the leader "

Rakim'll say "Follow the leader "

Rakim'll say "Follow the leader "

Rakim'll say "Follow the leader "

Rakim'll say "Follow the leader "

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 ** '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

Follow the leader

Rakim'll say "Follow the leader "

Keep followin'
