lyrics

Intro
Woo!
Yo, yo, it’s the sophist here,
Come on,
Yo, check the mic, am I alright?
Yo, check the mic, am I alright?
Come on,

Verse
Call me a stranger, call me a sophist,
Whatever you want, just let me say a few words,
And you’ll trust me more than Socrates,
It’ll take a second for this lesson ‘cause your mind’s ugly,
There are two forms of cleansing in this world,
And one form is what’s yet to unfurl,
That’s your body and your soul, don’t confuse the two,
Say what you want, but I ain’t asking you,
Still, you seem to understand me, Theaetetus,
You might even be a little smarter than Socrates is,
Or Jesus, not Jesus, that shit is next year,
But I know you want the hook, so here.

Chorus
No, you’re gonna listen to this game,
I make Socrates look sane,
It’s all a part of my game,
You’re gonna worship me,
‘Cause I am what you cannot be,
Why can’t you see? Why can’t you see now?

Verse
Call me a stranger, call me a sophist,
Whatever I’ll haunt what you call that brain of yours,
A bomb cut, this beat breathes so easy, believe me,
Listen up now as I begin my teachings,
There are two forms of badness pertaining to the soul,
One is being sick and the other is well known,
It’s called being ugly, you know what I mean,
Just look in the mirror, it’s not a bad dream,
Okay, let’s make up names for things that don’t exist,
I say they do, ‘cause this logic persists,
It’s full of twists and full of misses,
And that is what it is.

Chorus
No, you’re gonna listen to this game,
I make Socrates look sane,
It’s all a part of my game,
You’re gonna worship me,
‘Cause I am what you cannot be,
Why can’t you see?
No, you’re gonna listen to this game,
I make Socrates look sane,
It’s all a part of my game,
You’re gonna worship me,
‘Cause I am what you cannot be,
Why can’t you see? Why can’t you see now?
