Lyrics:

Chorus
Yo, yo this be a rap.
For a class we all know and love called WHAP.
Mrs. Mohan is our teacha
No one can beatcha
Psh CAHSEE, STAR, S-A-T
YEAH NONE OF THEM AS HARD AS MOHAN BE
X2

Plato
Was born in Classical Greece
Near the Mediterranean Sea
Son of an aristocrat
Who supported a democrat?
His time of death was an estimate
Same for his birth which was an approximate
Plato, disciple of Socrates
Indulged in many philosophies
He traveled from Italy to Sicily
Just to open up his Academy
Wrote many works like the Republic
Threw himself in the world of politics
Laid out ideas for the perfect state
Which he had to contemplate
Took control of the mind
And then he shined

Aristotle
Intellectual from ancient Greece
In the Hellenistic Age where there was peace
His work affected the Renaissance
Which brought about a positive response
For those of you taking AP Physics
Bettah think Aristotle is the shiznit
Fire, Earth, Air, Water, Aether, the holy elements
Made up his physic accomplishments
Hey dont forget Algebra 2
Yeah he made up probability too
Introduced basic democracy
Opposed to previous monarchy
Gave young Alex an education
In order for him to conquer the nation
He studied anatomy, astronomy, embryology, geography, geology, meteorology, psychology zoology theology
Economics, physics, aesthetics, ethics, metaphysics, politics, and even rhetoric
MAN THATS THE MOUTHFUL

Chorus (x2)

Phillip II
Received a diplomatic education
While being held captive in a Thebian prison
Had seven wives,
Didnt even compromise
And died in the year 336 BC
It was because of polygamy
Used Social War for expansion
Making Athens a great companion
After capturing Philippi
His army was a sight to see
Taking control of the mines
The money was useful in later times
He contributed to world of conquest
He would leave his enemies in a mess
He invented the long pike
Even useful at night
In merely a year,
He took control of Macedons frontier
And one by one,
His wars were won,
From Amphipolis to Thessaly,
And then came the end of his killing spree.

Alexander the Great
Now welcome to the battlefield Alexander the Great
One of the greatest military generals in the entire state
Starting of from 356 323 BC
You feel me?
Born and raised in the kingdom of Macedonia
Conquests from India to Anatolia
Contributed to the Hellenistic Age
As a result for his violent rage.
Taught by Aristotle in full throttle
About biology and philosophy
Classification and Religion
Till the age of sixteen
A regent is what he was seen
He ruled as the king of Macedon
He later died in the city of Babylon
Along with his military
He faced a number of casualties
He had the weight of the world on his shoulder
As he got older
Alex the Great had a lot of perseverance
Despite his disappearance
Even though his death is a mystery
He played a large role in our history
Taking over the empires
Burning them all in the flames of war

Chorus (x2)

Thanks for listening to us while we spit it
We just want you to know, the skys the limit.
