[INTRO]
Everybody get down
Everybody hold on
Quake- quake- quake
Fractures and breaks
Quake- quake- quake
[VERSE 1]
I can start to feel the earthquakes come to play
Hopefully our metal structures will continue to stay
Maybe they're gonna break
Maybe the're gonna bend
Maybe they fracture over hea-ea-ead
Everybody get down
[PRE-Hook]
Okay now that was close, dislocations want to break ya
But they just make you strong, like they don't even phase ya
Engineers are your maker
Quake quake quake
Just add some imperfections
Quake quake quake
Strong in every direction
[Hook]
So that's why we need some dislocations
I know you want them
I know you want them
I know you want them
You're a strong one
Can't let you crush me
You're far from plastic
Seismic waves might blast ya
I hate blurred boundary lines
I know you want them
I know you want them
I know you want them
That's why we design youuuuuu
The way you plastic deform
All your function and form
Okay you're far from norm
Everybody get down
[VERSE 2]
What did we make this for?
So walls crumbles on the floor
Use some SMA's for sho
You the weakest brick in this place
That brick just struck me
Quake, quake, quake
This infrastructure's s**ing
Quake, quake, quake
What ryhmes with s**ing?
Quake, quake, quake
[PRE-Hook]
Okay now that was close, dislocations want to break ya
But they just make you strong, like they don't even phase ya
Engineers are your maker
Quake quake quake
Just add some imperfections
Quake quake quake

[Hook]
So that's why we need some dislocations
I know you want them
I know you want them
I know you want them
You're a strong one
Can't let you crush me
You're far from plastic

I know you want them
I know you want them
I know you want them
That's why we design youuuuuu
The way you plastic deform
All your function and form
Okay you're far from norm
Everybody get down
[VERSE 3]
One thing we got's to do
Let me be the one to go reinforce you
Go from, dampners and rubber boo
Had a building made of bricks but that won't do
So as the quake pa** on through
Hope I don't see my roof break down into two
Used to use fibers in clothes that's wearable
Now use smart sensing fibers to hold off unbearable
In a hundred years not dare, would I
Like to see horrors like Haiti's gon pa** me by
Got a be more prepared like Chile, I'm telling ya dude
Concrete with steel reinforcements is the way for you
So I just watch, in awe, and hope you stay
And don't break quick
Not many would refuse our engineer pimpin'
We some smart guys, at least as far as we can see
[BRIDGE]
Shake the vibe, get down, get up
We don't wanna hurt, wanna hurt
We don't like cold work?
[PRE-Hook]
Baby can't you see? We got this from professor
Having safe building, all across America
No more beam bending
Quake quake quake
Cuz now you're brimming
Quake quake quake
With our #Winning
[Hook]
So that's why we need some dislocations
I know you want them
I know you want them
I know you want them
You're a strong one
Can't let you crush me
You're far from plastic
Seismic waves might blast ya
I hate blurred boundary lines
I know you want them
I know you want them
I know you want them
That's why we design youuuuuu
The way you plastic deform
All your function and form

[OUTRO]
Everybody get down
Everybody hold on
Quake- quake- quake
Fractures and breaks
Quake- quake- quake
