Lyrics
[Intro]
You are now tuned into the tomb of Jehova
Play my tunes loud enough to shake the room
What's the hold up?
Heard the world is endin' soon, I assumed that they told ya
They tryna dinosaur us, so now it's time to go up
[Chorus]
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
[Verse 1]
The roof is on fire, she wet like Barbara Streisand
Police everywhere, it's like a **** killed a white man
I just wanna find a baby mama 'fore the night end
So don't be coming round Vince
On that batter ram shit, on that 911 shit
Need a misses brown as Missy
I can have some fun with
Them slave bones make Grace Jones
Don't stop, bitch, stay focused
They hated on us since days of Moses
Let my people go crazy
Them stars fallin', don't chase 'em
[Chorus]
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
[Bridge]
Attack on Iraq, it's on a line
Typing it fast, then it's slippin' my mind
Oh, and I'm drunk, I'm spirited back
I fall in a fire and then I save myself
Then I get advantage 'cause the feeling's so raw
In these times of sedition, well, nothin' is dull
And I'm movin' into stillness and recallin' it all
And I'm a lover, just a lover, just a lover, just a lover, just a
[Chorus]
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
[Verse 2]
All these liberated women sittin' in my lap
I'm finna catch a body like I got a gun and badge
I'm finna turn [Obama] to my partna 'fore he dash
Pull up to the pad, wipe my ass with the flag
I'm just playin', baby, this the land of of the free
Where you can get a Glock and a gram for the cheap
Where you can live yo' dreams, long as you don't look like me
Be a puppet on a string, hangin' from a fuckin' tree
[Chorus]
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
The sky's fallin', baby, drop that ass 'fore it crash
Higher
The sky's fallin', baby, fallin' baby, fallin'
Higher
