About This Track

B.o.B builds 'EARTHQUAKE' around a sustained critique of institutional control, moving from education through labour to pharmaceutical and agricultural systems. The track opens with childhood indoctrination, then widens outward: pledging allegiance in school, graduating into wage work, worshipping dead presidents on currency. He positions each stage as a continuation of older forms of bondage, the language shifting between resignation and fury. The second half sharpens into direct address. B.o.B dismisses distraction tactics, diss tracks, gossip, physical comparison, as noise designed to keep people from seeing what matters. He names specific harms: toxic skies, profitable antibiotics, failing crops, hidden autopsies. The delivery is urgent and layered, cycling through complaint and warning, never settling into a single tone. It's agitation dressed as argument, the kind of track that assumes its listener is already awake and wants company in the dark.

"{{{EARTHQUAKE}}}" is a track by B.o.B, from the album E.A.R.T.H (Educational Avatar Reality Training Habitat), released 22nd April 2016. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

{{{EARTHQUAKE}}}

[B.o.B]

Born into competition

With a feeling that something's missing

Bred in a corn addiction

With a synthetic composition

On the brink of a civil war

Or the forming of one religion?

I wonder what came first

Dinosaurs or Darwinism?

Pledging allegiance to a flag

Since elementary

Writing curses in cursive and casting spells

Stung by the spelling bee

And they says congratulations

You graduated

From slavery

To paid slavery

You actually made it!

Here! Take this gown and cap and wave it

Like a celebration of going to school just to get a job to pay for it

Like a nation that traded it's minerals in exchange for paper payment

Here, these are your gods, you have to praise 'em

I wonder who we'd worship if we weren't captured and traded

Consider this my affidavit

Yo, It's the ruling class

Here to rule yo ass

Prescription drug thug cocaine mule yo ass

Agricultural skills sure would suit yo ass

But they say, living off the land is a useless path

Here, work for dead Presidents, HA! fooled yo ass

Any revolutionaries, they remove yo ass

Fast, click clack, quick blast, in a flash

Whiplash from the kickback of the impact

Push yo shit back

As long as my head is intact

I'll be as political as I want

Because I get taxed

Nah, this ain't no fuckin diss track, to distract

Or useless chit chat, or syntax, or

Who's ass is this fat and who has a six pack

Who's batting this average, or

Compare his passes to his passes

There's a thousand sports channels

You can get this package, or this package

Who's this savage?

Hey, let's compare your emotional baggage to my emotional baggage

And see who calls each other bitch fastest

Haters go out they way to fuck up my day

But I ain't even worried about your bitch asses

And it's quite the optic, hard to take your eyes off it

They make the sky toxic

Prescribe the antibiotic

Make a high profit, divide the margin

You could die off it

If you do, they hide the autopsy

What the fuck are you supposed to do?

Morgellons in your kosher food

What the fuck is even kosher food?

Third generation crops won't produce

Be careful who you keep close to you

I'm from Atlanta, but shots out to my Oakland crew

They say, "Bobby Ray, the older you is overdue"

I say hey, sorry I got a little caught up exposing truths

I used to think, what would Hova do?

Now I think, what the fuck would Macho Man and Hulk Hogan do?

Now, if Steve Austin was America, and the Rock was Afghanistan

Then Russia and China would be Triple HHH

And the Illuminati would be Vince Macmahon

Now when the haters are The Undertaker

The crowd doesn't stand a chance

When the international bankers are walking through the stands

Slide yo ass some Xan

You think you a fan but you really just a lamb

Niggas start trends every day but don't never get no pair of Vans

What the fuck is an advance?

Niggas live on colored people time

What the fuck is in advance?

Tsh, I don't fucking understand

I just want my fucking bandz

I'm a walking talking human conundrum

Like a Muslim going HAM

Looking for the promised land

False stories of Christopher Columbus

Holding Pocahontas' hand

Black History is the shortest month

I just hope you understand, when the

Native Indians don't get shit but

Thanksgiving and some yams, like

Here, here's a few casinos, huhh, sorry we took all your land, huhh

Well, let's just move on, because, America's great!

Man I fucking love it

Democratic or Republic

Lightning rod, change the subject

All of these religions, I'm glad I found one

All of these beliefs and mine's the right one

Trying to process all this info you hide from

Till you wake the fuck up out on the advice son

Culture and religion condition your mind hon'

Whatever's prohibited, imma defy them

The smell of freedom is making my eyes run

To authority, i'm the antithesis

I'm not a pacifist, or a philantropisist

I don't got all the answersises

I just got a louder mic, and better stanzasas, bitch

Oh i'm sorry, did I offend you?

What the fuck you think goes on in schools you send your kids to?

What the fuck you think they serve for lunch, what's on the menu?

That's why only ratchet shit is what these kids is into

A language comprehendable

Friends do what they friends do

People act so fucking hard but really they just gentle

Psychological children

Grownups with issues

Grownups with children

Who grow up with issues

Cancer tissues

Abandonment,  misuse

Subliminal marketing screaming, "Here, let me fix you

I have the cure

I have the remedy

I am the savior

I am not the enemy

But give me your money, give me your money, give me your money!"

Everybody's in debt

But this is a free country!

They dock your pay, what a mockery

Why you on the clock

Hickory, dickory, dockery

They want cable, they want coffee, they want comedy

Anything to take they mind off being property

Trying to say it properly

Working on my tact

But I am the anomaly

They know i'm the shit like a elio-colonoscopy

They know i'm the shit by just looking at my discography

They know i've been sent to awake this idiocracy

Mass media, hipocrisy

Turn you into a worker bee

Harvest the honey tree

I'm just being honest, b

Mother Earth quakes underneath

Father Sky, up above the sea

God the father, the sky

Son of God, the Sun

Amun Ra, the Eye

No more Amen

No more folding hands goodbye

Adios, au revoir, bandz
