Blackalicious › Lyrics › Sky Is Falling

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', niggaz 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

N****** 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 n*****-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
