The Night The Earth Cried Lyrics - Gravediggaz

I want a queen on every continent 

So I can escape the government 

Flee my residence, settle in 

I'm militant minded, brilliant rhyme whiz 

The time is now for me to shine, kids are innocent 

Blinded, society got to be reminded of my diary 

Because tragically I carry thee 

Misery of centuries that's sent to me 

Not coincidentally, intentionally 

'Cause mentally I represent the key 

But it's a double-edged sword 

See tryin' to be godly is hard 

Especially in poverty's backyard 

Where violence has taken over 

Free enterprise and lies is idolized 

'Cause it's deep inside with Allah, God or Jehovah 

To guide the lost tribe 

You're forced to reside on the north side 

Babylon is never penalized 

For bein' offsides, so many lost lives 

I wonder how long before the herd dies 

Today I heard the earth cry for the first time 

It was the worst time, it was the worst time 

The way I heard the earth cry 

I came to the shores of America disguised as a pillar 

The alpha and omega and the home of the beggars, the black sellers 

Who been beaten, raped, lynched, robbed and stoned 

And caused to roam the earth in service 

'Cause they couldn't maintain at home 

This dates back to fifteen fifty five 

When they captured the first tribe of men 

And piled them in a pen fifty feet high 

They took 'em all on a nine thousand mile ride 

And landed on the shore of a place they never seen before 

I read about this inside the ancient books of war 

Bonded in stainless steel, stripped of their language 

Still survived the anguish of slavery but still remained nameless 

Separated to portions and tricked by John Haughty Hawkins 

And sold on the auction, taught birth control and abortion 

Rulers of the first part became slaves of the worst part 

The devils cursed God and reversed God 

And turned God into dog and made people search hard 

No relief came to the prophet of W.D. Feraud 

To a trauma, dropped our mommas off in Bahamas and Barbados 

Tobago's, separated us from slave boats 

Made our own brothers hate us from Virgin Isle to Jamaica 

Trinidad, Honduras, Haiti, Grenada 

Bermuda to Cayman, mental enslavement 

You black Gods become awaken 

At night time you can hear the earth cry 

How many more black Gods got to die 

Before we realize there's no God in the sky 

The devil tricked us, that's the worst lie 

At night time I can hear the earth cry 

How many more black Gods got to die 

You realize there's no God in the sky 

The devils tricked us, that's the worst lie 

Peace God for real, not a spook nor a ghost 

Not unseen but seen and heard most of all 

I'm God, control nine planets 

Wisdom revolves around me, understand it 

Science, huh my rhyme's underrated 

Pyramids built accordin' to how we made it to be 

Many shall come few shall be chosen 

Thirty two degrees below zero and you're frozen 

Power of refinement my rhyme's assignment 

Is to crush negative bullshit in a line with the fusion 

'Cause that which is beyond three hundred sixty 

Degrees is an illusion, either you're deaf, dumb or blind 

Stupid hypocritical, dumb eighty five, yo it's time 

See I without me don't exist 

God cypher love divine is what I miss 

Check it like a visual reflection, sorta supernatural 

You know your mind detects as bein' natural 

Ultra gamer, the hammer's my energy 

Compressed to a form of a threat for my enemy 

Cypher's a circle that consists of a whole 

No beginning, no ends, no sides it's just a hole 

Like in an event I'm a percent 

Dealt out a hundred I'm five, my degree is a black belt 

Real genuine not authentic 

Older than the sun, moon and stars unprecedented 

In North America success can be won as a game 

And knowledge and understanding still one 

And the same greatest reward known to mankind 

That winners never quit and quitters never win in the mind 

But in time my degrees are gettin' deeper 

Thicker in the subconscious state of the sleeper 

At night time I can hear the earth cry 

Wonder how many black Gods got to die 

At night time I can hear the earth cry 

I wonder how many black Gods must die 

At night time I can hear the earth cry 

I wonder how many black Gods must die 

At night time I can hear the earth cry 

I hear her cry, peace to the earth, I cry
