Bill of Rights Rap

The Bill of Rights Rap song I wrote for the Weber State University Upward Bound Pre-College Program. Please note: the beat is not my own, and was created by StreetworkMusic. Check out their account for some more great stuff!

Lyrics:

Amendment #1 freedom of religion, speech and press
That's why I can throw this down man, the US is the best
Amendment #2 was well known by Pac and Biggie
If you're threatened in your crib we can fix it in a jiffy
Amendment #3 you don't have to quarter soldiers
Just cuz they got our respect don't mean we have to follow orders
Amendment #4 is a rule for the police
Unless they got themselves a warrant, then they can't search and seize
Amendment #5 is the due process clause
No double jeopardy or self-incrimination, dog
Amendment #6 the right to a speedy trial
If you were anywhere else, you might have to wait a while
Amendment #7 civil trial by your peers
If you do the right thing, you'll have no worries or fears
This is the Bill of Rights
The first ten of our amendments
I'll name the last three
If you just give me a second
Our Founding Fathers blessed us all with the chance
If you remember your rights, no one can make you dance
We are the people, the people of these United States
We understand the difference between lovin' and hate
We'll be great, and create, and remake what falls apart
We do it like Marley, with one love and one heart
Now it's time to sum up, to finish what I began
Cuz like my homie Barack, I say "Yes we can!"
Amendment #8 No cruel punishment
It's gotta fit the crime or they can't be givin' it
Amendment #9 you have more than just these rights
You have the power to grow up tall and reach your might
Amendment #10 power to the states and people
No centralized power cuz man that's just evil
This is the end of my rap, and I hope it made sense
Cuz I gotta be honest, this last rhyme is a mess
