Various Artists - Rap About Rocks lyrics

The moment in a soliloquy As i respond to me In the si02 mirror Of quartz you'll be learning You can call me the teacher The story teller The string I tie the past to the present through geological means It started with stars A burning there workin and getting big A factory elemental Someday be trees kings and twigs Political big wigs And boats to ride in All matter was then created And destined for bangs big **BLINK*** a flash of light Potential hope n heat A waltz hydrogen and helium swaying so magnifique All the nine planets invited dressed up in stars suites and ties Too bad in 2006 Pluto had to say bye But don't let me get a head Im trippin up over my toes Things are getting real heavy 4 .5 billion years ago There are no creatures or critters But a primordial ooze Compelling single celled parties With prokaryotic groove And though processes be creepin Trust me and soon a youll see Fossil representations Manifestations of phi Bada bing fascination Exploding Cambrian stations No more O2 rise and fall Banded iron representations So as sediments deposited falling down on the ground With the oldest on the bottom and on top is stuff from now We geochronology is the story enough Fossils locked up in sandstone recorded lithified stuff Now check the structure once bumpin right there up under your toes You can see makings of mountains from the uplift of the flow So as tectonic collisions create and make what we see We know why dinosaur cousins can be see crossing the seas So as we talk about dinos starting in Tria**ic time The origin around million year mark it 245 And if a paleontologist you walk up to and ask He'll say “ not counting the birdies the dinosaurs didn't last” So now looking in wonder at how how old the earth can be From a point of no oceans to creatures filling the seas If you put all of the eras and eons into a year Only in the last minutes would h*mo habilis be here So at the top of stratigraphy and a the top of the shelve If were still in the year of time with the count down at 12 There'd be prowess and power we'd see humanities might h*mo sapiens kickin and rockin feelin alright So now you know it you feel it it makes your brain feel great Its an immaculate feeling doing science all day There are an infinite number of –a- conundrums to solve So don't just sit around brewing get up and solve a them all Lets go use x ray florescence and tools like XRD Im up and firein lasers the to answer rock quandaries This is my playground of science I may be a ripple in the sea But soon I know we'll contribute to the knowledge of humanity!!!
