Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Labrinth, come in
Labrinth, come in
Ladies and gentlemen
This is something they call a ground-breaker
To the 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 poppin' off
Before you know it, there's rubble and dust
'Cause we'll be crushin' it up
Somebody say, "You better run"
Yeah!
I predict an earthquake up in here
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
Hey, yeah!
We can make an earthquake up in here
Ladies and gentlemen
What you're about to witness is no illusion
And now, we got the bass bangin' from here to Buckingham Palace
They're all movin'
Hey Simon, we're - them up, turnin' them SyCo
Everybody rock, let's bring the house down
To rubble and dust 'cause we'll be crushin' it up
Somebody say, "You better run"
Yeah!
I predict an earthquake up in here
Say, "Yeah!"
I predict an earthquake up in here
'Cause we throw bombs on it (yeah) throw bombs on it (yeah)
Just smash something, yeah mosh for me
Yeah (Let's go)
We can make an earthquake up in here
I predict an earthquake up in here
'Cause we throw bombs on it, throw bombs on it
Just smash something, yes mosh for me
Hey, yes
We can make an earthquake up in here (so here we go, we go)
Hey, yo, Labrinth
This one's feelin' like a straight ten on the Richter scale, you know?
Yeah, fire, fire
W-We about to set this place on fire
Without a match or lighter
Don't do girlfriends, one nighters
Make them (Ahh), C-minor
If I want Christian or Kurt Geiger
I just phone up their designer
Doing all nighters, no days off
Gray hairs and a little bit of weight loss
I predict (riots!) I predict (chaos!)
I predict (people!) I predict (oh!)
Disturbing London, got the whole city panicking
I be Nostradamus, this my ni-ni-ni-ni Labrinth
Yeah!
I predict an earthquake up in here
Say, "Yeah!"
I predict an earthquake up in here
'Cause we throw bombs on it (yeah) throw bombs on it (yeah)
Just smash something, yeah mosh for me
Hey, yeah!
We can make an earthquake up in here
(Labrinth, come in)
The song "Earthquake" by Labrinth feat. Tinie Tempah is a high-energy, party anthem that aims to shake up the dance floor. The lyrics describe a wild, chaotic party, complete with loud music, popping champagne bottles, and the destruction of property. The singer predicts an earthquake-like effect on the partygoers as they dance and throw their hands up in the air. The song celebrates the power of music to bring people together and create an unforgettable experience. The line "I predict an earthquake up in here" is repeated multiple times throughout the song, driving home the idea that the music is so powerful that it can literally shake the ground.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was Labrinth's debut single as a solo artist. He had previously worked as a producer for other artists, but "Earthquake" put him on the map as a performer in his own right. The song was also a commercial success, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart and selling over a million copies worldwide. Additionally, the song was featured in the soundtrack of the video game "Forza Horizon" and in multiple movies and TV shows.
Another interesting fact about "Earthquake" is that it was produced by Labrinth himself. He used a combination of live drums, electronic beats, and synthesized strings to create the song's distinctive sound. The song's music video features Labrinth and Tinie Tempah performing on a futuristic stage while dancers move around them in a frenzy. The video has over 100 million views on YouTube.
The song's lyrics also include references to other musicians and celebrities, such as Simon Cowell and Christian Louboutin. Tinie Tempah's rap verse mentions his preference for one-night stands and name-drops fashion designers. The song's overall message is one of letting loose and having fun, regardless of societal expectations or norms.

while feeling sorry about yourself, consider this:
John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
1 Corinthians 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Matthew 16:26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
dare to read and study the bible, care to know why did you got created.
bible
= basic information before leaving earth.
no soul needs basic information about life and how to live?
