MC Chris - 2. Whynot Minot video free download

Dedicated to Lynda Slorby and the good people of Minot, North Dakota. Minot has survived several catastrophies from cowboys and gagnsters to chemical spills and floods, the most recent being 2011. Visit minotrecoveryinfo.com for more info. Lynda herself lost her house and her cat and had to move into a Fema trailer. 4000 homes were flooded and they're still rebuilding 2 years later. Lynda lost 20 years of her collectibles Star Wars, Simpsons all gone. But now she's moved back into her house and things are starting to look up. Her thoughts on the song: "I think your song is perfect. It will bring a lot of people back up who are down, back together who have been separated. And remind us that this is what we do in this town. We figure out what needs to be done and we get together and do it. It will help us heal too. Because we're all still in pain and mourning. Sometimes you gotta cry before you can really laugh again and that's what you're good at. This song will be our anthem. Thank you soo much!" Here are the lyrics:

As if no one ever told ya

Magic City North Dakota

Was a town that met its quota

Really quick

A railroad track hacked through a prairie

Packed with goods it liked to carry

A smoking stack so very scary

Black and thick

Train was grounded can't reroute it

So a simple town was founded

Bedouins were all about it

This would stick

A tent went up and in five months

The place went nuts with cowboys stuff

This city is fitting for I

treasure tricks

Why not Immot let us pray we will somehow find a way

The waters might come rising but up high they'll never stay

We'll make our rivals cuz our prides a tidal wave

There's not a lot to save but we've got dignity for days

We won't accept to defeat though tragedy repeats

The tempest just a test that won't get the best of me

I hear why you don't leave how could I leave the air I breathe

Minot is a lighthouse in a sea of golden wheat

Minot North Dakota

Is like Dagoba to Yoda

Heaven to Jehovah

No offense

The town went down the crapper

Filled with gangsters and their flappers

Everybody's lookin dapper

In their threads

Tunnels underground

Never meant to be found

Delivered booze barrel bound

For the head

Capone was a gnome

Flooded folks with the foam

Hard liquor in your dome

Will leave you dead

Why not Minot let us pray we will somehow find a way

The waters might come rising but up high they'll never stay

We'll make our rivals rave cuz our prides a tidal wave

There's not a lot to save but we've got dignity for days

We won't accept to defeat though tragedy repeats

The tempest just a test that won't get the best of me

I hear why you don't leave how could I leave the air I breathe

Minot is a lighthouse in a sea of golden wheat

1969

It was such a crazy time

There wasn't any crime

And there was peace

The clouds gathered once again

Black and think is this the end

A flood is not my friend

It is a beast

To its cave it did retreat

And the city found its feet

But this catastrophic fleet

Would never cease

And that railroad of hill

Would bring a chemical spill

It made every body ill

We need relief

Why not Minot let us pray we will somehow find a way

The waters might come rising but up high they'll never stay

We'll make our rivals rave cuz our prides a tidal wave

There's not a lot to save but we've got dignity for days

We won't accept to defeat though tragedy repeats

The tempest just a test that won't get the best of me

I hear why you don't leave how could I leave the air I breathe

Minot is a lighthouse in a sea of golden wheat

The story doesn't get better

The city just gets wetter

Somebody send a letter

To mother nature

Another flood in elven

Had us praying up to heaven

When will you be sending us

Another savior

4000 homes are in the zone

Now I'm living all alone

Everything that I did own

Well it's just vapor

I got a trailer from Fema

Cuz Minot's a marina

It's my little Iwo Jima

Sign the papers

Why not Minot let us pray we will somehow find a way

The waters might come rising but up high they'll never stay

We'll make our rivals rave cuz our prides a tidal wave

There's not a lot to save but we've got dignity for days

We won't accept to defeat though tragedy repeats

The tempest just a test that won't get the best of me

I hear why you won't leave how could I leave the air I breathe

Minot is a lighthouse in a sea of golden wheat
