[Verse] Philosopher's corner, Socrates on deck, Legendary, wisdom sharper than a stiletto check, Grillin' thinkers, questions cut deep, breakin' necks, No scrolls, just soul, in the agora – intellect. [Verse 2] Hemming up the sophists, no time for hypocrisy, Truth at the tip of his tongue, that's Socracy, City of Athens, schools watchin' in rhapsody, Dialectic dialogues, his mind birthin' symphonies. [Chorus] He got the poison cup, still the mind won't stop, Sunk into the hemlock, but the thoughts won't drop, For the truth, he stood tall, never could flop, That's the bow-tied knot, the undying mind crop. [Bridge] Gadfly wit, city streets, buzzin' word, Often unheard, venomous his verse, absurd, Silhouetted under the moon, wisdom like a swordbird, Chasin' shadows of truth, forbidden like the third. [Verse 3] Hittin' up the markets, questions for days, Keepin' heads spinnin' in a daze, riddlin' maze, Stone steps echo stories, uncanny ways, Reflectin' mortal fate, in every Socratic phrase. [Verse 4] Called corrupt, court adjourned, but he ain't no scam, Philosopher king, never bowin' to the man, Strip him of pride, yet wisdom withstand, In the face of death, his flame kept the lamb. [Outro]
