Labrinth! come in!

Ladies and gentlemen
This is something they call
A ground breaker
So let me first apologize
To shirts and the ties
For your make up
'Cause I'll make you ugly
As soon as it drops
We're on a rampage
Bottles popping off
Before you know it
There's rubble and dust
'Cause we be fucking it up
Somebody say (you better run)

Yeah

I predict an earthquake
Didn't happen

Say yeah

I predict an earthquake
Up in here

Cause we throw bombs on it
Throw bombs on it
Just smash something
Yeah mosh for me

Yeah

We can make an earthquake up in here

So here we go we go

Ladies and gentlemen
What you're about to witness
Is no illusion
And now we got the bass banging
From here to Buckingham palace
They're all moving
Hey Simon
We're fucking them up
Turning em psycho
Everybody rock
We bring the house down
To rubble dust
'Cause we be fucking it up

Somebody say (you better run)

Yeah

I predict an earthquake
Up in here
Say yeah

Up in here

So here we go we go

Hey yo Labyrinth
This one's feeling like a straight ten on the Richter scale, ya know

Fire fire! We about to set this place on fire!
With out a match or lighter
Don't do girlfriends
One nighters make them c'minor if I want Christian
Or Kurt Geiger I just phone up the designer
Doing all nighters no days off grey hairs and a little
Bit of weight loss

Disturbing london got the whole city panicking

Overall Meaning

The song "Earthquake" by Labrinth (feat Tinie Tempah) is a high-energy, dance-club track that encourages listeners to let loose and go wild. The lyrics describe the sensation of being caught up in a moment of chaos and excitement, as if an earthquake were happening right then and there. Throughout the song, the artist creates a sense of frenzy and unpredictability by using imagery of destruction and danger, culminating in a call-and-response chorus that invites listeners to experience the song's intensity with him.


The song's opening lines set the tone for the rest of the track, as Labrinth apologizes to the "shirts and the ties" for ruining their appearance, setting up the idea that listeners will get swept up in the moment and become wild and unkempt. Tinie Tempah makes an appearance in the second verse, offering his own brand of chaos and destruction with his rapid-fire rap verses that further emphasize the song's themes of unpredictability and excitement.
