Earthquake
Labrinth feat. Faydee Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen This is something they call a ground-breaker So, let me first apologize 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 fuckin' it up Somebody say, "You better run"
The song is going to be powerful and disruptive, and the singer apologizes to anyone who may get caught up in it. He warns that things will get wild, and someone shouts a warning to 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
The singer is anticipating something big - possibly a metaphorical earthquake - as a result of their actions. They're urging people to get excited and join in the chaos, smashing things and jumping around. They believe they have the power to make something huge happen.

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, turnin' them SyCo Everybody rock, let's bring the house down To rubble and dust cause we'll be fuckin' it up Somebody say, "You better run"
The singer is letting the audience know that this isn't just a show - it's real, and it's happening. The music is so loud, it's even reaching Buckingham Palace. They're causing a stir and even getting the attention of music mogul Simon Cowell. The singer is leading everyone in causing destruction, and people are being told to flee.

Hey, yo, Labrinth This one's feelin' like a straight ten on the Richter scale, you know?
The singer addresses Labrinth, acknowledging that the song is going to have a huge impact. They're comparing it to an earthquake, which measures on the Richter scale.

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
The anticipation is mounting - the singer is confident that they're going to cause a major disturbance. They're excitedly urging people to join in and cause destruction with them.

Hey, yes We can make an earthquake up in here (so here we go, we go)
The singer is getting everyone hyped up and ready to cause chaos. They're building up momentum and getting everyone excited to participate in the destruction.

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
The chorus repeats the same message - that they're expecting an explosive event, and they're urging people to join in and cause destruction. They believe that they have the power to create a metaphorical earthquake with their actions and energy.

(Labrinth, come in) (Labrinth, come in) (Labrinth, come in) (Labrinth, come in)
The singer is calling out to Labrinth, who may be producing or engineering the song. It's a signal for him to come in and take over from this point.
