Follow Me Down - The Jokerr, King James Dillinger

Yo.

I just got back from the war, and I brought bad news back from the front

line/

The force that we face is enormous, and even if we double up on 'em,

it’ll be a hard time/

They got more guns than I ever would have thought.

More soldiers than I ever

would have brought/

Even if I thought that we could accomplish, and now they got to the very top

but the men in our line,/

One by one, I watched them fall, they gave into the weapons and they answered

the call/

The money and the guns, the women and the fame, too much for 'em,

and they couldn’t be contained/

It was sad and it would have driven many mad and they would gotten a hold of me

hadn’t they had a bad aim/

But they shot and they missed and I dropped and I dipped and I came back home

back I came/

And this is the message I fought my way back here to tell/

And if you rather me not, you can go to hell/

They only want you for your dollars and your pounds/

And if you want to know the rest, then follow me on down/

I know you’re somewhere waiting, somewhere out there now, follow me down

I know you’re somewhere waiting, somewhere out there now, follow me down

For days, I’ve trekked, till' I ran out of breath

Through the valley of the shadow of death

And fought through all the hunger and pain

But the hunger for fame, is more than anybody could withstand

A blunder it became, So I took into consideration everything I’ve learned

Sacred scrolls told us that our village shall be burned

Anyone who’s different shall be burned at the stake

With the scavengers circling the remains of the greats

We knew from the beginning that the battle would be lost

When evil’s synonymous with a man of the cloth

The damage they caused, only half of the loss

The other half being that their grasp on the thoughts

From the minds of our youth, with decline of the truth

Makes it nearly impossible when it’s time to recruit

So we’re waging a war.

You’ll be safe on the shore

Showing individuality, we’ll take you aboard

In a battle not only for preservation of an ancient art

Those who were taken and were forced to have a change of heart

Forced to praise the charts.

Temptation plays the biggest part

Get the women and the money just to make a farce

What say you?

This is a war of betrayal.

It’s a tab bit too late for apologies

now

So you can wallow in sorrow, or just swallow your pride.

Lace up your boots and

come follow me down
