Intro
Now listen up,
Gods and mortals alike,
You will respect me,
Let Prometheus be the lesson,
Muthafuckas.

Verse
Prometheus, what the fuck are you doing?
I’m the new king, so get used to this ruling,
Okay, I’m not a nice god, way to figure it out,
What I did to Io proves that without a doubt,
So I shout, yes, I am Zeus,
And I’m a bit of a tyrant, it’s true,
You helped win the war against the titans, that’s tight man,
Still I gotta punish you, because I can,
Yo, you’re questioning the power of a god you should mess with,
You’ve seen my temper before, you know you shouldn’t test it,
So, tell me what you’re thinking, sinking to humans and bringing,
Fire and false hope, the stupidity is stinging,
And I’m done singing, though this message keeps ringing,
And if you listen close, you’ll notice I am the new king,
And respect me, obviously, I am what you cannot be,
And in case you forgot me, say it again and you can copy.

Chorus
Yo, Prometheus,
What the fuck are you doing?
You can’t undermine my authority,
No, no,
I hope you learn your lesson,
Being bound to this rock,
Don’t you ever mess with me again,
No, no.

Verse
Now what’s with this sympathy toward human beings?
I do not understand what it could mean,
But this punishment is real, no it’s not a dream,
Your punk ass better get used to this regime,
Until then, you’ll be bound to this rock,
There’s nothing you can do, ‘cause I’m at the top,
And I won’t stop, so recognize,
It’s gonna be so bad, you won’t believe your eyes,
I wanted to wipe out the humans, but you got in my way,
I don’t put up with that shit, ‘cause I’m O-G from back in the day,
I know you first tried to help those bitch titans,
So you better know that this sentence won’t be light, man,
I should strike your punk ass with lightning,
Live for eternity in a world that’s frightening,
Your skin is whitening, ‘cause you’re afraid of me,
You were, you are and will always be.

Chorus
Yo, Prometheus,
What the fuck are you doing?
You can’t undermine my authority,
No, no,
I hope you learn your lesson,
Being bound to this rock,
Don’t you ever mess with me again,
No, no.
