| 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. |
| Verse one: | |
