O’hene Savant - Earthquake lyrics
[O’hene Savant - Earthquake lyrics]
Guess who’s back in the building
Rappin’ chameleon I rap for the children
In foreign lands where the
Hunger might kill them
I keep the plight of my
Folk hung on my ceiling
Sorry I’m not here to make it rain
This dance is for Chad
I go there to make it rain
‘cause people ain’t jammin’ in a famine
They’re just praying for the answers
And it’s in a sandwich
Or maybe in a telethon, so we televise
Hopin’ we can help a life
From the hell and strife
People talk about hell and the sobbing
For Japan their hell was a tsunami
For the people of Haiti it was a earthquake
September 11th it was the World Trade
Pennsylvania and the Pentagons in the times
Was it us or the Lord tryna send a sign that
It’s a earthquake, run, it’s a earthquake
Yes in your homes and your
Domes when the dirt shake
When the sky moves and you
See the earth break
Chaos arrived with our worse fate
It’s a earthquake, everybody, earthquake
Leave your worldly possessions
For earth’s sake
When the land cries out and the earth hates
What we have done is done, another earthquake
We industrialize Earth for the capital
Now we disrupt it by earth and the capital
Hurricanes left and right, it’s not natural
Seas polluted so we avoid eatin’ mackerel
Congress’s promises then they act a fool
Taxing you as they move
Knowledge out of schools
How the youth gon’ believe in education?
When we treat teachers like crap
Look at they paychecks
Jobs don’t pay more now, they pay less
Hustlas now ball out at Payless
Radio don’t reflect my everyday stress
They stress how they bread is they bread
If not then twenty-four hours a day sex
Meanwhile some postal worker’s at his apex
Depressed, depress whatever they press
But they cannot predict the earthquake next
Yes
It’s a earthquake, run, it’s a earthquake
Leave your homes and your domes
When the dirt shake
When the sky moves and you
See the earth break
Chaos arrived with our worse fate
It’s a earthquake, everybody, earthquake
Leave your worldly possessions
For earth’s sake
When the land cries out and the earth hates
What we have done is done, another earthquake
(yes it is)
It’s a earthquake, listen to the earth shake
We should never have been drillin’
In the first place
Should have listened to the
Indians who first came
And now we look like idiots with aeroplanes
See the kids cryin’? We dismiss science
The sky was a place we used to depict Zion
Now it’s pigs flyin’ ‘cause us pigs flyin’
We used to try to save the earth
Now we skip tryin’
Why pretend like we feel like recyclin’
When we just rather make
Bombs out of hydrogen
Rather just make raps ‘bout
Who we tighter than
People just wanna dance, so we write for them
These times are protests and peace signs
We need jobs more now than Steve Dodd
Please God, forgive those who teach lies
The greed, crime and envy must be why
It’s a earthquake in the north side
In the south side even more died
In the west too say it’s not special
But it hit the east now so we got stress too
Meet me outside if you wanna survive
When you leave, leave it all even your pride
Let it die in that house and for your sake
Hope that it all gets
Destroyed in the earthquake
In the earthquake the earthquake
In the earthquake the earthquake
In the earthquake the earthquake
In the earthquake the earthquake
