During his rise to notability, Diplo worked with British musician M.I.A., an artist who is credited with helping expose him in his early career. Later, Pentz and fellow M.I.A. producer Switch created a Jamaican dancehall project titled Major Lazer. Since then, Diplo has worked on production and mixtape projects with many other notable pop artists. Pentz's alias, short for Diplodocus, derives from his childhood fascination with dinosaurs.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Earthquake, earthquake, earthquake
I make that ass shake, ass shake, ass shake,
Ass shake, ass shake, ass shake, ass shake
It's time to deveastate, devastate, deveastate,
Devastate,deveastate, devastate
I'll male the glass break, glass break, glass break,
Break, break, break, break
My flow harder than a bitch fucking good dope
These hoes hating why these hoes so cut throat
One hit wonder bitch, I make that shit pop
He told me to go in, fresh, I pop that shit
My flow shake harder than Alaska quake
The one in 1964, it was devastate
These bitches wonder who I is, tell them shake 'n' bake
Ricky Bobb,y bitch I'm nobody
Shake that ass on the floor, let me see you wobble it
Tell them to burn my shit when you hit that replay girl,
Smokin' while I'm riding
Bitch nigga hiding
Do these shit like every day, drop like an earthquake
Dj Fresh where Diplo at?
Hey Diplo I see you baby (Ugh)
It'll make the ground shake, ground shake,
Ground shake, ground shake, ground shake, ground shake, ground shake
Play my shit hit the replay, replay, replay,
Replay, replay, replay, replay
It will never hesitate, hesitate, hesitate,
Hesitate, hesitate, hesitate, hesitate
It'll make the glass break, glass break,
Glass break, break, break, break, break
Drop like an earthquake
Drop like an earthquake
