Parli Pro Original Rap

I wrote the rap and produced and edited all of the video. I also rapped the rap. The beat, I found for free online somewhere.
The video and rap are supposed to be funny but they are also supposed to educate about Parliamentary Procedure.
---Lyrics------------
Parli Pro rap yo
yea
Parli pro is the way to go,
its what we use at our meetings
yo yo yo

I call to question is an aspect of our meetings
you must respect
it means i'm ready to vote
as its written in the note

to make a motion, you say I move to
give some money from me to you
it must be then seconded by another member
it goes to a vote
you must remember
with the President announcing the outcome

there comes a time when you must move,
and issue to the floor
it starts on the table then by going to the floor its like its out the door

its very simple you see
you just say I'd like to move something from the table to the floor

are you, ready for more?

the standard order for meetings is approval of the minutes
reports of officers boards and committees
then on to old business followed by the new
Oh! careful not to step on my shoe!

If you're not a speaking member, you must be yielded to, you must remember

so don't talk out of order
and get called on it by an executive boarder

Thats it for now, for parli pro
until next time yall Cooper fo sho!

Thanks for everyone who participated in the filming!

According to Roberts Rules of Order, "In a properly conducted meeting, there is no type or class of business called "old business." It is a common mistake for the chair to call for "old business" and under that incorrect category to allow members to bring up matters that were considered at earlier meetings."

I appreciate the correction. Since the song was written I have realized that there are a few errors or some improper wording and I hope to release another parli pro rap with improvements on both quality of video and accuracy of the content. I will keep what ya said in mind when doing so!

Happy new year!

@drumbum360

and yet you are ignorant again, I listen to a time when Hip-Hop was not called rap and we rapped about things that actually mean shit, the fucking 80's, at least take a second to listen to my shit and in the process, learn a shit

[bgoldbgoldbgold]

@SouthernNoble by real hip-hop, do you mean guns girls and blackmail? :D

[SouthernNoble]

@drumbum360

my raps are about things like "freedom", "battle", and "real Hip-Hop"
