lyrics

King Coal an ol' pimp with a heavy hand
Pockets swole with what he stole from every man
He roll deep out east with a bevy plan
Keep the lights on with a con and a Chevy van
He told Lee he would give her a stack
If he could take her top off and lay her flat on her back
Sex explosive when she get in the sack
And when got his rocks off he didn't leave her with jack
Not true 'cause he gave her disease
And addiction to the friction when she get on her knees
Lee don't know addition but she know how to please
Coal kill ya then bill ya for the utilities
But Geez, don't drink the water when you camping
In Lee's part of town 'cause her kids out tramping
And when she used up? Yup! Old Cove vamping
When night come to the Cumberlands, Coal Lampin

Long Ago we were told we struggled
But we're coal lampin
Days were hard, nights were cold. Now we're froze
Like we're coal lampin
Coal Lampin. coal coal Lampin
Coal Lampin. coal coal Lampin
Coal Lampin. coal coal Lampin
Coal coal coal coal Lampin

Your lampin, your lampin. Your cold Coal Lampin
Sip coal from the coal camps to the whole Hamptons
Now, I called nine one one a long time ago chanting
Only to have my hopes dampen, listen
You're blind baby! You're blind to the facts
I might dial up my congressman. Sign me a fax
White men from the underground remind me of blacks
So far down I think they're tryna find a T-rex, listen
This is fossil fuel
From the time when the not-so colossal velociraptor dueled and jostled just for food
The sun's solar power could light up this earth for eons
While coal only goes for one hour
Sun goes on the flower
While coal makes the soul go sour
They kill Watts yo. We rose from the tower
Man's so dependent
As soon as he get his hands on a grand, he spend it
That's why his land is rented
Be strong and independent
Win power by thinking wind power
In other words, get long winded
Splendid

Long Ago we were told we struggled
But we're coal lampin
Days were hard, nights were cold. Now we're froze
Like we're coal lampin
Coal Lampin. coal coal Lampin
Coal Lampin. coal coal Lampin
Coal Lampin. coal coal Lampin
Coal coal coal coal Lampin
