Poseidon...ooh ooh ooh
Ugh
You fell for everything they threw at you
When u gon' realize who is who and
What will u have when they're through with you
I ain't new to being exploited fighting demons I made choices
And always did it for the movement the voiceless
From Crenshaw to Croydon
Hear the continental the clairvoyant
My competition is so boyish bumping they gums
Listen to 'em my lyrics are more poignant
Join me in properly reppin the dedication
If you born free and gotta get yours we never waiting
They say don't catch feelings just break through glass ceilings
I never had millions but I'm grinding instead of hating
You hating instead of grinding
You might as well turn in your papers and resign then
Diamonds in the rough are not stumbled upon
With a weak foundation the walls are crumbling on ya

House of cards will fall
When the wind cries Mary the roof caves and down go the walls
Poseidon the waves are rising
The Earth is shaking
That hawk is biting
But a house that was built on the rock is where I stand
They playing for keeps and for kicks
But they building with Popsicle sticks instead of bricks

You chasing everything they offered you
If you feel like it's something you gotta do
Yet that offer's too good to be true
I applaud you for the effort though
Except now they gon' let you go
And they didn't even offer dental & medical
From the ghetto under-educated the fresher the black face is
Label get 'em right outta high school for the taking
Build him up on some ignorant shit & praise him
Until he starts believing the hype that made him famous
They get a deal then they go to jail then it's 3 meals
PC'd up in a cell it don't make sense
'Cause of this exploitation I always did it for the vandals - the vagrants
You know they want niggas to lose
To die broke like the ones who made rhythm and blues
Now how that sound not profound
So I huffed and I puffed and blew they house down

House of cards will fall
When the wind cries Mary the roof caves and down go the walls
Poseidon the waves are rising
The Earth is shaking
That hawk is biting
But a house that was built on the rock is where I stand
They playing for keeps and for kicks
But they building with Popsicle sticks instead of bricks

We know that the wind
Blows right out from the sea
But when these waves start rushing in
Will this house protect me

Yeah!
We sandbag barricade shelter
For the land mass serenade Alpha and Omega
Stand back as the tidal wave pelts ya
If built on Rock of Gibraltar you held your ground
The sun melts ya your boys can't help ya
Falling comets from the asteroid belt
And the worst parts of the Bible - hell yeah
Mothership won't be no flight by Delta
Rise and smell the fresh salt water and sulfur
Slaughtering whales and everybody thought it was over
All didn't fail with foundation strong as a boulder but
One day I'll see a falling supernova 'cause

House of cards will fall
When the wind cries Mary the roof caves and down go the walls
Poseidon the waves are rising
The Earth is shaking
That hawk is biting
But a house that was built on the rock is where I stand
They playing for keeps and for kicks
But they building with Popsicle sticks instead of bricks

We know that the wind
Blows right out from the sea
But when these waves start rushing in
Will this house protect me

The wind's gonna blow sometime
The wind's gonna blow sometime
The waves gonna rise
Oh we know the waves gon' rise
The Earth's gonna shake sometime
The Earth's gonna shake sometimes
That's gon' be our fate sometimes

We know that the wind
Blows right out from the sea
But when the waves start rushing in
Will this house protect me
Oh when the waves rise
Will this house protect me
