Blackalicious - Sky Is Falling Lyrics:
Rain and thunderin`
And lightnin` crumblin`
Building`s fallin`
Hurricanes earth shatterin`
Mid-rains scatterin`
Insane happenin`
Souls keeps burnin`
And the sky keeps plummetin`, now
The sky is fallin`, life is appallin`
And death is lurkin`, ni**az killin` each other
Leavin` bodies nobodies searchin` for
And youth announced, catchin` a bit of murder one
And mothers is drinkin`
And druggin`, hoe-in; searchin` for their son
And liquor stores upon every corner
And younger people done accepted defeatin`
The meltin` pot of lavas seepin`
And the hood is all the mic can conceive
When your foes bleedin` to their death
And you pickin` their pocket, wanna just get even
Ni**ers is bangin` and coppers is bangin` punk snuggin
Highly intelligent Africans lowered to punk smuggin
And capitals of the planet, planets run by the government
And genocide `s overwhelmin`, devil is lovin` it
And children in high school go n` smokin their classes up
And people thats rich don`t be checkin` for what is happenin`
Degradin` all women, knock `em up, leave `em, now smack em up
And ain`t no way to reach us we`re sleepin` like hells castle
Sky is fallin`
(Rain and thunderin`)
And lightnin` crumblin`
Building`s fallin`
Hurricanes earth shatterin`
Mid-rains scatterin`
Insane happenin`
Souls keeps burnin`
And the sky keeps plummetin`, now
(Rain and thunderin`)
And lightnin` crumblin`
Building`s fallin`
Hurricanes earth shatterin`
Mid-rains scatterin`
Insane happenin`
Souls keeps burnin`
And the sky keeps plummetin`, now
The sky is fallin`, no one is watchin`
Tornadoes twistin` wheres nobody is listenin`
And fires no one pays attention
Energies are eruptin`, blurrin` the intentional vision
Doctors and lawyers
And scientists all are locked in the prison of the mind
And all the youth are unreachable, but they teachable
But emcees don`t be teachin` them too
Down deep down in their soul
Amongst the prostitution and pimpin`, robbin` and stealin`
We give a name, sab-a truth, this is ni**er-land
Glad to knew ya, but give a damn
For the future, religions is institutionalized
Hittin truths, even youthsalized
You got two pistols at the head of your own people
It`s lethal but it`s livin` proof
Instead of leavin` smiles leaven death inside of our livin` room
And instead of college they got us slangin` after high school
For the love of the money and everythin` that it will buy you
Everybody out for that and they kill you if you a rival
20 lines and 1 stake on the table it`s about survival
The sky is fallin`
(Rain and thunderin`)
And lightnin` crumblin`
Building`s fallin`
Hurricanes earth shatterin`
Mid-rains scatterin`
Insane happenin`
Souls keeps burnin`
And the sky keeps plummetin`, now
Revelation from the now
To the temptation calm the fury all
Drown the confusion through the devastation
Live in the trees of elimination
Truth is absolute prophets can`t wait long
Can`t take long, revelation
Devastation, better stay strong
And lightnin` crumblin`
Building`s fallin`
Hurricanes earth shatterin`
Mid-rains scatterin`
Insane happenin`
Souls keeps burnin`
And the sky keeps plummetin`, now
The sky is fallin`, life is appallin`
And death is lurkin`, ni**az killin` each other
Leavin` bodies nobodies searchin` for
And youth announced, catchin` a bit of murder one
And mothers is drinkin`
And druggin`, hoe-in; searchin` for their son
And liquor stores upon every corner
And younger people done accepted defeatin`
The meltin` pot of lavas seepin`
And the hood is all the mic can conceive
When your foes bleedin` to their death
And you pickin` their pocket, wanna just get even
Ni**ers is bangin` and coppers is bangin` punk snuggin
