Lyrics Prometheus - Adam WarRock, Mikal Khill, Sulfur

Prometheus

Every day is a struggle on that I.P.O.
bubble
The kingdom that I made is in trouble
Taking a look at Olympus has got me wondering
Titans they might’ve rumbled
But I stay out of that head-space
Know that it causes less waste (what?)
Makin' an effigy sending all of my enemies
Back to meetin' Persephone 'cause we titans like Tennessee
Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire
Three card monte on Zeus to steal fire
And I’m givin' it back to common man doin' whatever I can
To make the cold feel warmer for the kids in the corner
Make the beef cook quicker and the fuel burn cleaner
With the wisdom and the courage that’s similar to Athena
I got a chain on my hand that’s attached to this rock
For eternity all I can do is watch my stomach rot
And make hip hop, (unh) beat box to the heavens
Protean Prometheus kickin' it for the peasants
We’re like chained to the rocks
Nowhere to go
Be careful what you wish for
You wanna live forever?
Then maybe you’ll get your wish
Because you never seen a rapper wear a chain like this
We’re like chained to the rocks
Nowhere to go
Be careful what you wish for
You wanna live forever?
Then maybe you’ll get your wish
Because you never seen a rapper wear a chain like this
Hey, yo…
Hey what up y’all?
Just holdin' down the block, you know?
Literally, like I’m chained to a rock
Wearing old jeans and a Tribe One tee
Blood all over, eagles they uh feast on me
But, it’s alright
No really, I can’t die
Hey, who’s an eagle buffet?
This guy
Can’t kill me no matter what
They try but they ain’t gave up yet
Why god?
Why?
Zeus man come on
Rappers started takin' driver
Cause you took their one love-- steady spittin' that fire
And you know I tire of that
Same old game
Can’t play Street Fighter without (yoga flame)
So, the aim was to get a few zippos then gone
Now you got me chained here screamin' like (Khan!)
Another dawn and there go the birds
Man, I’ve been here forever but I only got two words
We’re like chained to the rocks
Nowhere to go
Be careful what you wish for
You wanna live forever?
Then maybe you’ll get your wish
Because you never seen a rapper wear a chain like this
We’re like chained to the rocks
Nowhere to go
Be careful what you wish for
You wanna live forever?
Then maybe you’ll get your wish
Because you never seen a rapper wear a chain like this
I just want to leave my stamp on the Rand McNally
Before I reach the grand finale
And now I got a bounty on my head
Not because of what I said
But all because I wanted to share my gift
But I guess it wasn’t mine to distribute
Now I’m gonna get it
Seems that my fate is now sealed, signed, and delivered
And I’m on the hunt like Artemis
And now I’ma set the Tartarus
Fire vehicle definitely slaughter us
Apologists be like
My chain heavy, yup yup, my chain heavy
But it’s nothin' compared to the rock attached to it
They ain’t ready, nope nope, they ain’t ready
They keep me stuck in a box when it comes to rap music
But I carry the cross across Olympus
Just remember what you owe me
And don’t ya forget the interest
This is the portrait of a masterpiece
'til we break off the chains tell the master «peace!»
