Answer:
CHORUS 1:
Fossil rocks are in the ground tonight
They’ve been down there for a really long time
They contain the history of life
They’ve been down there for a really long time
Fossil rocks are in the ground tonight
They’ve been down there for a really long time (They’re the schist*)
They are literally on the grind
Take your hammer out and... break that
VERSE 1:
Look at the ground. Partly rock
Plus plants and animals stuck in their spot. Huh
Each new layer stackin’ up
So the oldest on the bottom and the newest on top
“So how old is your fossil, bro?”
Well it was pretty far down so it’s pretty darn old
And I dated this one, so I gots to know
It’s from 3.5 billion years ago
Yo. I got that lava flow, Volcano
Air full of particles & smoke
There goes life as they know
Now that’s a blast! But most rocks ain’t movin’ that fast
The sediment’s evidence. Like a present tellin’ us of the past
CHORUS 2:
Take your chisel out and… flake that
BREAK:
Everyday I’m Shovelin’…
Brushin’ ‘em, Brushin’ ‘em
VERSE 2:
Brush it off and hear the story of life as told through rock
The story of the earth as told through life. Now stop... do the trilobite
Continental plates (are driftin’)
Mountains in the states (upliftin’)
Tend to isolate (species)
By affecting who you mate with (believe me)
Slow moves. Long time. Push up mountains to the sky
Slow moves. Long time. Open up a great divide
Slow moves. Long time. Fossils found on either side
Fossils found they tell us why... tell the history of life....
Slow moves. Long time. Slow moves. Long time
Slow moves. Long time. Slow moves. Long time
Plates are driftin’ at ya boy. Plates are driftin’ at ya boy
Plates are driftin’ at ya boy. Now boom. There’s an asteroid
