[00:02:00] I'm the journalist

[00:02:01] Am I Eternal? Or an eternalist?

[00:02:03] I'm about to flow long as I can possibly go

[00:02:06] Keep ya movin' 'cause the

[00:02:12] Call the ambulance

[00:02:12] Pull out my weapon and start to squeeze

[00:02:14] A magnum as a microphone murderin' MC's

[00:02:17] Let's quote a rhyme from a record I wrote

[00:02:19] (Follow the leader)

[00:02:20] Yeah, dope

[00:02:21] 'Cause everytime I stop it seems ya stuck

[00:02:23] Soon as ya try to step off ya self-destruct

[00:02:25] I came to overcome before I'm gone

[00:02:27] By showin' and provin' and

[00:02:28] Lettin' knowledge be born

[00:02:30] Then after that I'll live forever, you disagree?

[00:02:32] You say never? Then follow me!

[00:02:34] From century to century you'll remember me

[00:02:36] In history, not a mystery or a memory

[00:02:38] God by nature, mind raised in Asia

[00:02:40] Since you was tricked, I have to raise ya

[00:02:43] From the cradle to the grave, but remember

[00:02:46] You're not a slave

[00:02:47] 'Cause we was put here to be

[00:02:48] Much more than that

[00:02:49] But we couldn't see it because

[00:02:50] Our mind was trapped

[00:02:51] But I'm here to break away the chains,

[00:02:53] Take away the pains

[00:02:54] Remake the brains, reveal my name

[00:02:56] I guess nobody told you a little

[00:02:57] Knowledge is dangerous

[00:02:58] It can't be mixed, diluted, it can't be

[00:03:00] Changed or switched

[00:03:00] Here's a lesson if ya guessing and borrowing

[00:03:02] Hurry, hurry, step right up

[00:03:04] And keep following

[00:03:04] The leader

[00:03:06] Follow the leader

[00:03:06] Rakim'll say, "Follow the leader!"

[00:03:20] Rakim'll say, "Follow the leader!"

[00:03:22] A furified freestyle, lyrics of fury

[00:03:24] My third eye makes me shine like jewelry

[00:03:35] And follow and follow,

[00:03:36] Because the tempo's a trail

[00:03:37] The stage is a cage, the mic is a third rail

[00:03:40] I'm Rakim the Fiend of a Microphone

[00:03:52] The R's a rollin' stone, so I'm rollin'

[00:03:54] Directions is told, then the rhymes are stolen

[00:03:56] Stop buggin', a brother said,

[00:03:57] Dig 'em, I never dug 'em

[00:03:58] He couldn't follow the leader

[00:03:59] Long enough so I drug 'em

[00:04:01] Into danger zone, he should arrange his own

[00:04:04] Face it, it's basic, erase it, change ya tone

[00:04:06] There's one R in the alphabet

[00:04:07] It's a one-letter word and it's about to get

[00:04:10] More complex from one rhyme to the next
