CHORUS 1:
Fossil rocks are in the ground tonight
Theyâve been down there for a really long time
They contain the history of life
Theyâve been down there for a really long time
Fossil rocks are in the ground tonight
Theyâve been down there for a really long time (Theyâre 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 stackinâ up
So the oldest on the bottom and the newest on top
âSo how old is your fossil, bro?â
Well it was pretty far down so itâs pretty darn old
And I dated this one, so I gots to know
Itâs 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 thatâs a blast! But most rocks ainât movinâ that fast
The sedimentâs evidence. Like a present tellinâ us of the past
CHORUS 2:
Take your chisel out and⌠flake that
BREAK:
Everyday Iâm ShovelinââŚ
Brushinâ âem, Brushinâ âem
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 driftinâ)
Mountains in the states (upliftinâ)
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 driftinâ at ya boy. Plates are driftinâ at ya boy
Plates are driftinâ at ya boy. Now boom. Thereâs an asteroid
