This was from back in my days as a rapper. Enjoy a little history lesson!
Everybody in the 434 throw your hands in the air
Cause we gonna win that war
Yo, Yo Yo
We be comin’ from the south you know
Where all of the tobacco grow
We the rich colonies cant ya hear
We can smell all them north guy’s fear
With the mountains to the west
And the ocean to the east
We’ll be rapping up the coast
And eating a big feast
But now let me tell you just how it began,
No wait lets hear it from this man
“Yo, my name is James Oglethorpe
And I’m rapping to you now
I founded Georgia and I’m gonna tell you how
Well it started in 1733
An English general I be
Georgia was for the poor
Yeah to open a new door
But not only for that
But to get us up to bat
We kept the Spanish out
We won without a doubt
Since I was strict
The colonists got ticked
But some had to stay
And grow rice all day
But oh well
I was rich”
Now lets hear it from the big NC (North Carolina that is)
“Well you see, it started in 1650
Eight englishmen talk to Charles number two
And he said here’s a grant from me to you
So they set up shop and started farming
But without women it didn’t matter if they were charming
So they were poor and needed some money
So let me tell you how, its really quite funny
It was really a sticky situation sellin’ tar and pitch
Man let me tell you it really was a b… big deal”
So now lets go up north
“I hope you don’t think I’m too forth-
Coming, but I gotta tell ya bout the virgin queen
She really wasn’t that mean
In 1607 we named Virginia after her
But things couldn’t be as they were
We changed our crops cause of the climate
We got rich off tobacco but nothing rhymes with climate
We started usin’ slaves to do our work
But trouble in the future it did lurk.”
You heard of the west being won
Well that’s how the south was lost
Between Indians and no food
We couldn’t afford the cost
We ran into trouble
But no one was there on the double
I guess the mountains were too high
And the rivers too wide
But somehow we made it
And we still here today
And we got nothing else to say.
