Verse
Now, deep in ghetto Greece where all gangstas from,
A long time ago, under the same sun,
Discussion if you wasn’t there took place,
Defining kinds of virtue of the human race,
I space rhymes, but I’m not here to waste time,
Telling you the story of those walking the thin line,
It’s Meno, huh, and y’all know,
How this muthafuckin’ story goes.
Chorus
This is speaking straight to Meno,
What the hell are you thinking for?
You get embarrassed when you act like you know,
What virtue means, ‘cause it seems that you’re slow,
You ain’t gonna win a war with words,
Socrates will make you sound absurd,
Now, what you gotta do before it gets any worse,
Is bitchslap that punk ass, you heard it here first.
Verse
Now, I’ll explain it once,
Talkin’ never got anywhere that you want,
Here’s what you need to do Meno,
Forget the logic, different levels,
Look out below, Socrates is droppin’ bombs,
Now I’ll warn you throughout the whole song,
You gotta see what’s up and what’s going down,
Watch your words, son, you look like a clown,
What? You think he’s learning math,
He’s a dumbass just walkin’ the path,
Four times four is sixteen, isn’t it?
Try to prove a point with a slave who ain’t gettin’ it,
So M to the E to the N to the O,
Instead of arguing, just knock him to the floor,
Then kick him in the mouth for every word that he says,
Unless it’s best to listen, but that’s just undue stress.
Chorus
This is speaking straight to Meno,
What the hell are you thinking for?
You get embarrassed when you act like you know,
What virtue means, ‘cause it seems that you’re slow,
You ain’t gonna win a war with words,
Socrates will make you sound absurd,
Now, what you gotta do before it gets any worse,
Is bitchslap that punk ass, you heard it here first.
Bridge
Alright, listen up close to the words,
Don’t listen to his words,
Don’t agree, don’t nod your head,
Take a lesson from me,
What you say to Socrates?
Don’t respond, it’s easy,
Now repeat what I say,
And ya good,
You want to take it outside, old man?
You want to take it outside, old man?
You want to take it outside, old man?
I’ll teach you virtue for real then.
You want to take it outside, old man?
You want to take it outside, old man?
You want to take it outside, old man?
I’ll teach you virtue for real then.
Chorus
This is speaking straight to Meno,
What the hell are you thinking for?
You get embarrassed when you act like you know,
What virtue means, ‘cause it seems that you’re slow,
You ain’t gonna win a war with words,
Socrates will make you sound absurd,
Now, what you gotta do before it gets any worse,
Is bitchslap that punk ass, you heard it here first.
