Lyrics

[Intro: Tyler, The Creator & Playboi Carti]
For real, for real this time
For real, for real, for real this time
Bitch, I cannot fall short
For real, for real, for real this time (Uh, yeah)
For real, for real, for real this time

[Chorus: Tyler, The Creator]
'Cause you make my earthquake
Oh, you make my earthquake
Riding around, your love be shakin’ me up
And it's making my heart break
'Cause you make my earthquake (Earthquake, ooh)
Oh, you make my earthquake
Riding around, your love be shakin’ me up
And it's making my heart break

[Refrain: Tyler, The Creator & Charlie Wilson]
Don't leave, it's my fault
Don't leave, it's my fault
Don't leave, it's my fault (Girl)
’Cause when it all comes crashing down I’ll need you

[Chorus: Tyler, The Creator & Charlie Wilson]
'Cause you make my earthquake
Oh, you make my earthquake
Riding around, you’re telling me something is bad
And it's making my heart break
'Cause you make my earthquake, oh, you make my earthquake
(Earthquake, yeah)
Riding around, your love be shakin' me up
And it’s making my heart break (You already know)
[Verse 1: Playboi Carti]
We ain't gotta ball, D. Rose, huh
I don't give a fuck 'bout none', huh
Breathin' like fuck my lungs, huh
Just might call my lawyer, huh
Plug gon' set me up, huh (Yeah)
Bih', don't set me up (Okay)

He ride like the car, huh
And she wicked, huh, yuh
Like Woah Vicky, huh, yeah (Like Woah Vicky)
Oh, my God, hold up, um
These diamonds not Tiffany, huh, yeah (Woah, woah)
So in love (I been so in love)
So in love (I been so in love)

[Refrain: Tyler, The Creator & Charlie Wilson]
Don't leave, it's my fault (Fault)
Don't leave, it's my fault
Don't leave, it's my fault (Igor, ayy)
'Cause when it all comes crashing down I'll need you (Ayy, ayy)

[Verse 2: Tyler, The Creator & Charlie Wilson]
'Cause you make my earthquake
I don't want no confrontation, no
And you don't want my conversation (I don't want no conversation)
I just need some confirmation on how you feel, for real (For real)
You don't want no complication, no
I don't want no side information (I don't want no side information)
I just need to know what's happening
'Cause I'm for real (For real)
[Outro: Tyler, The Creator]
I said don't leave, it's my fault (One)
I said don't leave, it's my fault (Two, two)
Don't leave, it's, it's my fault, girl (Three, three, three)
Don't, do-do-do-do-do, I'll need—
