Cicadas 97
[Sound Bite/Sample]
In most broods, the emergence occurs every seventeen years
In a healthy brood, the number of cicadas is awesome
Hundreds of millions may appear over the usual two week emergence period
Many will not live to the completion of their life cycle
Some emerging adults become trapped, without the strength to complete their transformation

[Refrains]
Just like rappers
Just like rappers
Just like rappers, rappers, rappers...

We’re cicadas, underground rangers, crawling out of more than thirty-six chambers
We’re cicadas, underground rangers, crawling out of more than thirty-six chambers
We’re cicadas, underground rangers, crawling out of more than thirty-six chambers… (*repeats in variations*)
