Kan jij mij naar een site verwijzen, waar de text van Follow The Leader van Eric B. and Rakim staat?

Alvast bedankt!

It's not where you're from, it's where you're at.

* Zanderrr heeft 'Follow the Leader' nog ergens op een teepje... al járen niet meer gehoord.

Anyway, de tekst:

Verse 1

Follow me into a solo
Get in the flow - and you can picture like a photo
Music mixed mellow maintains and makes
Melodies for MC's to motivate the breaks
I'm everlast - and 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 farm
But no alarm - Rakim will remain calm
Self-esteem make me super superb and supreme
But for a microphone still I fiend
This is a tape - I wasn't supposed to break
I was supposed to wait, but let's motivate
I want to see who keep followin and swallowin
Takin and makin wit the bitin and the borrowin
Brothers died and others tried 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 where ya thinkin' you were first
Let's travel at magnificant speeds around the Universe
What can you 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 satelitte
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 the lesson if ya guessin and ya borrowing
Hurry hurry step right up and keep followin
The Leader


Verse 2

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 as long as I can possibly go
Keep it movin cause the crowd said so
Dance - cuts rip ya pants
Eric B on the blades, bleed to death - call an ambulance
Pull out my weapon and start to squeeze
A magnum is 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 - ya 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 came to break away the chains, take away the pains
Remake the brains, reveal my name
I guess somebody 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 3

A fearified 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 any traitor or snake - so stay awake
And follow and follow, because the tempo's a trail
The stage is the cage, the mic is the 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 and 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 and 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 went from state to state, followers tailgate
Keep comin but you came too late, but I'll wait
So back up ya group, get a grip, come equipped
You're the next contestant - clap ya hands, you won a trip!
Price is right - don't make a deal too soon
How many notes, can you name this tune?
Follow the Leader is the title, theme, task
Now you 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
