MC Chris - Whynot Minot lyrics

As if no one ever told ya
Magic City North Dakota
Was a town that met it's quota really quick

A railroad track hacked through a prairie
Packed with goods it liked to carry
A smoking stack so very scary
Black and thick

Train was grounded can't reroute it
So a simple town was founded
Bedouins were all about it this would stick
A tent went up and in five months
The place went nuts with cowboys stuff
This city is fitting for I treasure tricks

Why not Immot let us pray we
Will somehow find a way
The waters might come rising but
Up high they'll never stay
We'll make our rivals cuz our
Prides a tidal wave
There's not a lot to save but
We've got dignity for days

We won't accept to defeat
Though tragedy repeats
The tempest just a test that won't
Get the best of me
I hear why you don't leave how could
I leave the air I breathe
Minot is a lighthouse in a
Sea of golden wheat

Minot North Dakota is like Dagoba to Yoda
Heaven to Jehovah no offense

The town went down the crapper
Filled with gangsters and their flappers
Everybody's lookin dapper in their threads
Tunnels underground never meant to be found
Delivered booze barrel bound for the head

Capone was a gnome
Flooded folks with the foam
Hard liquor in your dome will leave you dead

1969 it was such a crazy time
There wasn't any crime and there was peace

The clouds gathered once again
Black and think is this the end
A flood is not my friend it is a beast

To it's cave it did retreat
And the city found it's feet
But this catastrophic fleet
Would never cease and that railroad of hill
Would bring a chemical spill
It made every body ill we need relief

The story doesn't get better
The city just gets wetter
Somebody send a letter to mother nature

Another flood in elven
Had us praying up to heaven
When will you be sending us another savior

4000 homes are in the zone
Now I'm living all alone
Everything that I did own
Well it's just vapor

I got a trailer from Fema
Cuz Minot's a marina it's my little Iwo Jima
Sign the papers
