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
