Sky Is Falling Lyrics

Rain and thunder and lightning
Crumbling buildings
Falling hurricanes
Earth shattering mid-rains
Scattering insane
Happening
Souls keeps burning
And the sky keeps plummeting
Now--


The sky is falling, life is appalling
And death is lurking, niggaz killing each other
Leaving bodies nobodies searching for
And youth announced ..., catching a bit of murder one
And mothers is drinking and drugging, hoe-in; searching for their son
And liquor stores upon every corner
And younger people done accepted defeating
The melting pot of lavas seeping
And the hood is all the mic can conceive when your foes bleeding to their death
And you picking their pocket
Wanna just get even
Niggers is banging and coppers is banging punk snuggin
Highly intelligent Africans lowered to punk smuggin
And capitals of the planet, planets run by the government
And genocide 's overwhelming, devil is loving it
And children in highschool go 'n smokin their classes up
And people thats rich don't be checking for what is happening
Degrading all women, knock em up, leave em, now smack em up
And ain't no way to reach us we're sleeping like hells castle
Sky is falling

Rain and thunder and lightning
Crumbling buildings
Falling hurricanes
Earth shattering mid-rains
Scattering insane
Happening
Souls keeps burning
And the sky keeps plummeting
Now--

Rain and thunder and lightning
Crumbling buildings
Falling hurricanes
Earth shattering mid-rains
Scattering insane
Happening
Souls keeps burning
And the sky keeps plummeting
Now--

Rain and thunder and lightning
Crumbling buildings
Falling hurricanes
Earth shattering mid-rains
Scattering insane
Happening
Souls keeps burning
And the sky keeps plummeting
Now--

The sky is falling, no one is watching
Tornadoes twisting wheres nobody is listening
And fires no one pays attention
Energies are erupting
Blurring 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 teaching them too
Down deep down in their soul
Amongst the prostitution and pimping, robbing and stealing
We give a name
sab-a truth
This is nigger-land
Glad to knew ya
But give a damn
For the future
Religions is institutionalized
Hittin truths, even youths... alized
You got two pistols at the head of your own people
Its lethal but its living proof
Instead of leaving smiles leaven death inside of our living room
And instead of college they got us slangin after highschool
For the love of the money and everything 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
Its about survival
The sky is falling

Rain and thunder and lightning
Crumbling buildings
Falling hurricanes
Earth shattering mid-rains
Scattering insane
Happening
Souls keeps burning
And the sky keeps plummeting
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 Cant wait long
... ...
Cant take long
Revelation
Devastation
Better stay strong

Gift of Gab (Tim Parker) and Chief Xcel (Xavier Mosley) met at John F. Kennedy High School in 1987 in Sacramento, California and formed the group in early 1992. They released their first recording, "Swan Lake", on Solesides Records. The Solesides Crew consisted of the duo, as well as other friends of theirs they had met at University of California - Davis, including DJ Shadow, Lyrics Born and Lateef the Truth Speaker. The single was an underground hit, but label trouble prevented the duo from immediately capitalizing on their fame.

In late 1997, Solesides became Quannum Projects and in 1999 Blackalicious released the A2G EP, which served as a precursor to their debut full length album, Nia, which was released the following year. This was followed by a major label contract with MCA Records and the release of the critically acclaimed album Blazing Arrow in 2002.

In May 2004 Gift of Gab released his first solo album, 4th Dimensional Rocketships Going Up, but he assured fans that Blackalicious was alive and well.

A third full length, entitled The Craft, was released on Epitaph Records imprint ANTI- on September 27, 2005. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
