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

I predict an earthquake
Up in here

Throw bombs on it (yeah)
Throw bombs on it (yeah)
Just smash something
Just mosh for me (aha)

We can make an earthquake up in here
So here we go we go

I predict an earthquake up in here

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

Yeah

We can make an earthquake 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

Yeah!

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
I predict (riots)
I predict (chaos)
I predict (people)
I predict (AAHHH)
Disturbing london got the whole city panicking
I'll be Nostradamus this my ni ni neighbour(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

Yeah
We can make an earthquake up in here
So here we go we go

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?
