Gas Land (Frack Off)
Awkword

feat. Chaundon



[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 mothafuckin killin

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 shit 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]
