Follow Me

[Chorus: D'Angelo] I can take you there, just follow me I can take you there, just follow me I can take you there, just follow me I can take you there— there— there— [Verse 1: Quasimoto & Madlib] The wall on which the prophets wrote is cracking at the seams Upon the instruments of death the sunlight brightly gleams (Brightly gleams) Every man is torn apart with nightmares and with dreams (Dreams, dreams) Between the iron gates of fate the seeds of time were sown And watered with the deeds of those who know and who are known [Pre-Chorus: Quasimoto & Madlib] Knowledge is a deadly friend when no one sets the rules The fate of all mankind I see is in the hands of fools Yo, knowledge is a deadly friend when no one sets the rules The fate of all mankind I see is in the hands of fools Confusion will be my epitaph as I crawl a cracked and broken path If we all make it we can all sit back and laugh [Chorus: D'Angelo] I can take you there, just follow me I can take you there, just follow me I can take you there, just follow me Fo— fo— follow me [Verse 2: Madlib & Quasimoto] I'm on the outside looking inside, what do I see Much confusion, disillusion all around me You don't possess me, don't impress me, just upset my mind Can't instruct me or conduct me, just use up my time (Time) The keeper of the city keys puts shutters on the dreams I wait outside the nigga's door with insufficient schemes On soft grey mornings widows cry the wise men share a joke I run to grasp divining signs to satisfy the hoax [Pre-Chorus: Quasimoto & Madlib] Knowledge is a deadly friend when no one sets the rules The fate of all mankind I see is in the hands of fools Knowledge is a deadly friend when no one sets the rules Confusion will be my epitaph as I crawl a cracked and broken path If we all make it we can all sit back and laugh [Chorus: D'Angelo] I can take you there, just follow me I can take you there— I can take you there, just follow me I can take you there, just follow me Me— me— me
