Constitution Rap~music from Lose Yourself by Eminem; my work cited and the words from the constitution.

Constitute Yourself

Look, if you had one government, or one federal power,
To run everything you ever wanted-One republic
Would you know it or just let it slip?

Our Representatives ready, it's population, the House is heavy
The States got 2 senators already, Bicameral's steady
Framers nervous, but on the surface people ready to drop election bombs,
but Jimmy keeps on forgettin what he wrote down,
the House and Senate goes so loud
House 25, 7 years Citizen, DC out,
Senate 35, 9 years Citizen stay in DC now,
1 Rep per 31,000, 2 year's term then elections shoutin!
Snap back to Senate, oup they six year's tenant.
Rotational Basis, 1st, 2nd, 3rd Class, Election's pass.
Necessary and Proper Clause,
Let's congress make needed gov't laws.
Habeas Corpeas, No unlawful detention for all us,
Bill of Attainer, someone found guilty without trial,
Ex Post Facto Law can criminalize before law approaches a new mile,
Quorum is minimum needed to carry out congress,
2/3 House to override veto, no contest

You better constitute yourself in the music, the moment
You vote it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to know
This gov't comes once in a lifetime yo

Article II deals with the enforcer,
Can be impeached for treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors
Prez. Can be either pass, veto, ignore, or pocket veto,
II.II State legislature picks his electors, not Cheetos.
Gotta be a natural citizen, 35, and 14 years residence
400 G making it rain, Commander in Chief is your president.
In section 3, prez. gets six powers for free.
State of the Union address, Recommend measures to congress,
Convene both houses and adjourn them too,
Receive Ambassadors and Public Ministers fool,
Bureaucratically, and lastly execute the laws faithfully.

Article III. Deals with your judicial court,
Supreme highest power in the land, don't sell it short,
Congress can create other courts, but a Justice serves for life
Courts have jurisdictions over all laws, they married to the constitution like a wife
Original J, allows cases to go to Supreme first
Appellate J, allows lower court outcomes to be reviewed and reversed.
Section II, Clause 3, allows a federal crime a jury and held in that State,
Or where Congress decides it should be.
Only Crime in the Constitution in Treason,
Levy War, Adhere to Enemies, Giving Enemy Aid and Comfort are all my reasons.

Article Four needs No Show
It's Full and Faith and Credit keep rights from closed gates,
States can't disrespect the duties of other states.
Privileges and Immunities prevent state laws
From harming the privileges of citizens into flaws.
But check it the Fugitive Slave Clause removed,
By the 13th Amendment it proved,
No slavery can win,
Btw only Congress can admit new states in.

Article Five, time for amendment change,
2/3 State legislatures call for a convention or 2/3 of the House can be arranged.
However it takes 3 quarta of state conventions or
3 quarta legislatures to new amendments to pass.

Oh Snap Article Six, Supremacy of the Constitution at last,
People from Section 1, still gotta pay back previous debts
due to the new government institution.
Everyone be swearing their allegiance to no religion, no pigeon,
Just to the absolution of the constitution.

You better constitute yourself in the music, the moment
You vote it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to know
This gov't comes once in a lifetime yo
