Intro
What up, chumps?
Yo, it’s Crito time!
I may not agree with the sentence, but I will obey,
For when I die, it’ll be a brand new day,
Just relax, it’ll be okay,
No, I cannot leave,
No, I cannot leave.
Verse
Yo Crito, I cannot leave,
But it hurts me to see you here grieve,
You gotta realize there’s a time for every being,
With all that I’ve achieved, done with this whole scene,
I’ve argued with greats, since what it takes,
I’ve waited for ages, but now get my cake,
If I left, well, I’d have to flee Athens,
But I’ve lasted here for years, new paths when,
You’re as old as me, just cannot be,
I’ve done all I can, and all that you see,
Is who I am now, so how could you believe,
That for my sake, jail break to set me free?
I’ve said what I wanted, haunted minds honest,
Embarrassing these people, yes, I’ve been taunted,
My mission complete makes afterlife sweet,
I hold that place among the elite.
Chorus
No, I cannot leave,
I may not agree with the sentence, but I will obey,
For when I die, it’ll be a brand new day,
Just relax, it’ll be okay,
No, I cannot leave,
I may not agree with the sentence, but I will obey,
For when I die, it’ll be a brand new day,
Just relax, it’ll be okay.
Bridge
Come on, Socrates,
Jail break!
Come on, Socrates,
Jail break!
Verse
Yo Crito, cut that shit out,
Before I have to shout, ‘cause without a doubt,
I’m staying right here, I have no fear,
That tear in my eye is just the atmosphere,
Look, I’d rather live, but not in exile,
All the while being hunted for miles and miles,
That ain’t my style, look at me now,
I’m too old to be told to run out of town,
When the ships come back, I’ll leave with tact,
I’m gonna die a martyr, not barter or pack,
‘Cause I’m Socrates, nah, there ain’t no other,
Peace, and word up to your mother.
Chorus
No, I cannot leave,
I may not agree with the sentence, but I will obey,
For when I die, it’ll be a brand new day,
Just relax, it’ll be okay,
No, I cannot leave,
I may not agree with the sentence, but I will obey,
For when I die, it’ll be a brand new day,
Just relax, it’ll be okay.
