This is a parody of Remember the Name, a rap by Fort Minor. It discusses the goals and themes of the French Revolution, along with quite the summary, fit into a couple verses.

LYRICS:

You ready?! Let's go!
Yeah, for those of you that want to know what we're all about
French Revolution (c'mon!)

Louis sixteen called the, Estates-General
Hundred fifty years past three estates met for the call
First estate be clergy, second be nobles
And third be the middle class who left with shut pieholes

Oath! - The men agreed to make their wrongs right
They just want to be heard with a constitution, that's right
They created the National Assembly, whoa
Because of that fact Louis sent some troops to protect Paris
People scared, the stormed Bastille
It's not about the armory
It's all about rebellion and making some noise
The peasants joined - ending the feudalism in France
Now the French Revolution is just starting, watch out! Let's go!

Declaration of Rights of Man?
Based on the general will
Church be secularized, women still don't get anything
Women be hungry and they want the bread for families
That many misjudge them because they don't get no votes, any say
They force King Louis to sign, the Declaration rules
Now Louis can't hide in Versailles, he goes back to Paris
The first constitution is written, huge reforms like Parliament
National Assembly, is now Legislative

This means no more monopoly
Austria fights France
Now Prussia and more join in and France must draft more men
Who would've thought that they'd be the one to set the west in flames
And the Jacobins stormed Tuileries, Louis' new home; radicals
The radicals controlled, Girondins sad
I like rap man, what is the purpose of this line?
Rev'lution be truth, now everybody's new reforms
They've wild ideas but it just gets crazier

This is ten percent brave, twenty percent thirst
Fifteen percent starving, hungry power of hurt
Five percent reform, fifty percent blood
And a hundred percent reason for the revolution!

The Catholic Church falls, oh no
Dechristianization
And titles stripped Louis now normal
The cult of reason rises up
Enlightenment ideas seem like diests
Church falls down, pope cool--not!
The Republican calendar, is created by the cult
Ten days are one week now, Sundays are now forced to go
Now the people really think hard love rationalism
The calendar doesn't work, people don't really change much
The radicals or Jacobins are extremely dominant

Bam! - Hearing many heads drop down the block
Marat orders deaths by guillotine
Making his way out of town
Louis gets caught in the city Varennes
The King goes on trial for treason and is killed
Committee of Public Safety rules
There's no living fight, to the revolution
They'll get you dying quicker than any person can say "death"
The Committee is known around as one of the best
Dedicated to what they do and collect hundred plus heads

Forget Rads - Then moderation returns to the bloody French lands
A new constitution is made
It makes a Directory and bicam'ral houses
And the Jacobins and Royalists are finally dead
Blood is cleared from the streets and alleys, no more fear and pain
Emigres come back and try to support monarchy
But those counter rev' guys don't succeed,
The bread they fought for?
So pitiful, still people are hungry,
How come life still stinks?

This is ten percent brave, twenty percent thirst
Fifteen percent starving, hungry power of hurt
Five percent reform, fifty percent blood
And a hundred percent reason for the revolution!

This is ten percent brave, twenty percent thirst
Fifteen percent starving, hungry power of hurt
Five percent reform, fifty percent blood
And a hundred percent reason for the revolution!

Yeah! Rev'lution
Guess what French guys - future ain't happy
Rev'lution ain't gonna stop!

If I had a dollar for every pixel in this video, the French would have lost their own revolution.

@bobsayshi123456 Haha. Naice, naice. :P And if you watched the video, you'd have realized that they didn't actually win.

@bobsayshi123456 And the French treasury was already so bankrupt, your non-existent dollars wouldn't have made difference, bro.
