Chorus
Phaedrus, now play the beat out, come on,
Come on, now play the beat out, come on,
x 3
Intro
Well, this a bit different from normal dialogues,
If such a thing exists, then I can’t be wrong,
I’ll kick this beat while Socrates gives long,
Speeches, as I reach for lyrics for this song,
I won’t dwell on what makes this shit weird,
And what they say, well it ain’t clear.
Verse
Yo, Socrates second speech is strange at least,
The mind of the soul, and how it feasts,
Views of justice and self-control,
Knowledge too before it goes home,
Now, is Phaedrus understanding this?
It seems he’s not, but holy shit,
Socrates keeps talking like he don’t care,
No insults this time, he swears.
Chorus
Phaedrus, now play the beat out, come on,
Come on, now play the beat out, come on,
x 4
Bridge
Now, how is it that Socrates and Phaedrus are condemning writing now?
And how is it that Plato is taking the time to write all of this down?
