[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]

'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—

If you're a fan of Tyler, The Creator, you're definitely familiar with his hit song “EARFQUAKE.” This song was released in May 2019, as part of his fifth studio album called IGOR. The song features fellow rapper Playboi Carti and was an instant hit upon its release. It quickly became one of Tyler's most popular songs, thanks to its catchy tune and relatable lyrics.

The song has a unique mix of styles from Tyler's previous two albums, Cherry Bomb and Flower Boy. It starts with beautiful, cheery piano chords, but the beat quickly changes to heavier and distorted drums, giving the song a more intense and edgy feel.

About EARFQUAKE

The song “EARFQUAKE” is a collaboration between Tyler, The Creator and Playboi Carti. The song is about Tyler's dependence on a lover he knows that he hasn't treated the best, but needs. In an interview with Rick Rubin on his podcast Broken Record, Tyler revealed that he was inspired to name the song "EARFQUAKE" after experiencing an actual earthquake while writing the song. He decided to play on the words and change the "th" in earthquake to "f" to create a more impactful title.

One interesting fact that many people may not know about the song is that it was actually originally written for Justin Bieber. During a concert hosted by Apple Music featuring an IGOR presentation, Tyler revealed that he had written the song in 2017 for Justin Bieber, but he ended up not using it. Tyler also offered the song to Rihanna, who declined it.

The song's lyrics describe Tyler's conflicted feelings about his lover. While they are constantly fighting and arguing, Tyler still feels that he needs them in his life. He desperately wants to make their relationship work, but he also knows that he's not treating them as well as he should be. The song's chorus, which repeats the line "Don't leave, it's my fault," perfectly captures the essence of Tyler's emotional turmoil.

Tyler's vocal performance on the song is another highlight. His voice ranges from soft and contemplative to intense and emotional. This range perfectly complements the song's changing mood and helps to create a beautiful, yet haunting, sound. Playboi Carti's verse adds a new dimension to the song, helping to solidify its place as one of Tyler's best collaborations.

Overall, “EARFQUAKE” is another masterpiece in Tyler, The Creator's long list of hits. The song's unique mix of styles, relatable lyrics, and emotional vocals make it an instant classic. Whether you're a long-time fan of Tyler or just discovering his music, this song is sure to leave you wanting more.
