AWKWORD - Gas Land (Frack Off) lyrics

[Verse 1: AWKWORD] Politicians be like, we gon frack our way to freedom Corporations dash for cash on our backs while we sleeping Continuing tradition, trash the earth as it weakens While we work the double shift at check out lines, on weekends In the name of Edwin Drake, in '47 frack's invented All Obama did was make, fed lands, protected Minority rules, in every state that's, invested Financial sites show fracking stocks to be the best investment They did the math, so of course, the teams decided The 99 percent of us, must not be divided Stay woke, yeah, we cannot be blindsided Led by rhyme writers, our fight, fire ignited They don't care about our health, or even that of their fam They don't even fear the courts, there's no justice, fat chance He made a movie, now, we compose a rap jam Follow the fault lines beneath us, welcome to Gas Land [Hook: AWKWORD (2X)] We gon frack for freedom, we gon frack for freedom And this award goes to the best frack of the evening In Gas Land they Hollywood, think they act as we would But where we live we like, hands off, frack ya own hood [Verse 2: AWKWORD] In Gas Land, it's terrible, like you gon get kilt, by chemicals Or better yet, break in two, when some earthquake levels you Please, don't hope for an open casket when they bury you While their lobbyists stay working, so no one, remembers you And don't believe, their new jobs, will bring, any kind a bread for you Think that measly paycheck's gonna be what betters you? If that job is something, that you said you'd never do Exchanging tax breaks and lap dances, drill for revenue Fracking, by definition, causes fractures And sure, yeah, that's nothing, it's what we know that happens after Acid rain, radiation, ecological disaster Now my water got formaldehyde and hydrochloric acid And they only capture 30 to 50 percent of fracturing fluid Leaving the rest of the toxins underground, sitting there polluting Causing respiratory and neurological, damage to humans So self-abusive. Vote, riot, make change, solutions [Hook: AWKWORD (2X)] We gon frack for freedom, we gon frack for freedom And this award goes to the best frack of the evening In Gas Land they Hollywood, think they act as we would But where we live we like, hands off, frack ya own hood [Verse 3: Chaundon] These energy companies are illin all this horizontal drillin Literally making a mothaf**in k**in Got our sons and daughters consuming contaminated water While the shareholders line their pockets up every quarter Mild earthquakes are the results But studies say it ain't definitive and they believe that sh** like a cult All the toxins pollutin the air But since it's all about their bottom line they convince us not to be scared But two years ago the EPA had failed to report Radium in Pennsylvania's rivers where's the support Who's out protecting us I guess we're all short Ain't like the law is on our side so what's the point to try to take 'em to court Exxon and Chevron are major players Whose deep pockets are the motivators to sway the minds of legislators And they all think that money makes the world go round But what it takes to get the money brings the whole world down [Hook: AWKWORD (2X)] We gon frack for freedom, we gon frack for freedom And this award goes to the best frack of the evening In Gas Land they Hollywood, think they act as we would But where we live we like, hands off, frack ya own hood [Outro: Protest crowd, chanting] Ban franking now! Ban franking now! Ban franking now! Ban franking now! Ban franking now! Ban franking now!
