Parody rap music video of the five most influential men in western civilization. ***FINALLY, with lyrics!!***
CHORUS:
I know five men
who made the world great
Their life and actions
set the western world straight
Socrates, Caesar, and Jesus Christ!
Charlemagne and Vinci
are our favorite guys.
SOCRATES:
The first guy on our list is Socrates
he was born in Athens round 470
hes considered the founder of western philosophy
but his controversial theories(?) lead to death penalty
He answered peoples questions with one of his own
reexamining beliefs until a flaw was shown
Today the Socratic Method is widely known
thanks to the writings of Plato alone
I pose a question
some try to answer
but others just say that Im a writing dirty
Try to catch me writing dirty
I wander around
my Greek town
and my homeboys know theyll never catch me writing dirty
Try to catch me writing dirty
CAESAR:
Well the republic was failin and it needed some help
After conquerin Gaul, I knew I could run it well
Upon returning home, Pompey said, Bid farewell
to your legions so I crossed the Rubicon to rebel
The First Triumvate I formed with Pompey and Crassus
Had to be crushed with my supportive, loving masses
I expanded the empire from Egypt to Spain
Conquering, not losing, lessening the peoples pain
Dictated 3, no, 10 years, no, I mean dictator fo life
With monuments and statues, Cleopatra as my wife (you mean lova!)
Then Brutus and his boys jumped me in 49
Jus remember Western Europe and the Calendar were mine
Caesarlicious def-, Caesarlicious def-, Caesarlicious def- defdefdefdef-
Caesarlicious definition make Senate go crazy
Democracys disaster
Come up to me, call me Master
Im the C to the A, E, S, the A the R
And can't no other ruler rule the empire like me
Im Caesarlicious
JESUS CHRIST:
In a cave in Bethlehem Mary gave birth to me
My B-days now known as a last-minute shopping spree
I lived my whole fillin people with glee
If you follow what I say heaven is a guarantee
Jewish gangstas didnt like me tryin-a be their saviah
But thas okay, cause Christian jus a different flava
On a day now known as Easter, they had me crucified
But today, my religion has spread worldwide.
Im Christ, Jesus, Yes Im the real Jesus
I founded Christianity and healed your diseases
So wont the real Jesus Christ please stand up,
please stand up, please stand up
Im Christ, Jesus, Yes Im the real jesus
Crucified by Romans, I still does what I pleases
So wont the real jesus Christ please stand up,
please stand up, please stand up
CHARLAMAGNE:
As King of the Franks, I was out on a stroll
when Leo called me up and said nobles were outta control
so I lead my armies south and conquered Italy
and he said Heres your reward from the Papacy
to which my east-side counterpart responded angrily
Though I never had intended to rule the HRE
This widened the schism and struggle for power
between future popes and German rulers gone sour
I revived Latin learning, founded schools at Aachen
I had Alcuin, my friend, create a curriculum
I spread Christianity and fathered the wes side
The Age of Me will go down in history though I died
My throne, my throne, my throne, my throne,
My throne, my throne, my throne, My empire has grown (check it out):
I inherited them Frankies
The Saxons fell on their knees
I took over their kingdom
So Christians they could become
Milan and Lombardy
Venice and Saxony
Barcelona and Burgundy
course theres Rome and then Gascony
Then in 8 double-zero
I was crowned by Pope Leo (the third)
Not something that I did prefer
but now Im Holy Roman Emperor!
DA VINCI:
Born and raised in Italy I am the Renaissance Man
I build, I paint, I draw, I learn, I know that I do all I can
Mona Lisas smile, with sfumato, so confusin
Madonna also knows of the expression Im usin
The Last Supper and Vatruvi are proportionally correct
Along with all the bodies that I like to dissect
So many lasting contributions from my brain did spawn
But, yo, Im not even done; the list goes on!
A helicopter, tank, calculator I invented
Scientific drawings in my Notebooks are presented
And yes, I know of all things anatomical
Just take a look at my brain, its astronomical
Dont cha wish that you could paint as well as me
Dont cha wish that you could think as smart as me
Dont cha, Dont cha
Dont cha wish you could invent cool things like me
Dont cha wish you could open human bodies like me
Dont cha Dont Cha
CHORUS:
I know five men
who made the world great
Their life and actions
set the western world straight
Socrates, Caesar, and Jesus Christ!
Charlemagne and Vinci
are our favorite guys.
