I had to write a song about acids and bases for chemistry and I'm not much of a singer, so here is my chemistry rap.
I'm the one with the red t-shirt, and the one next to me in grey is Jess. Jess has his own channel with more of his own raps. Check him out, his channel name is JessTheBette.

The music is the instrumental version of Biggies "Big Poppa." I did not make the song, please don't take down my video.

Here are the lyrics for people who want them. But if you take them and claim they are yours I will hunt you down and hurt you.

on the ph scale
acids are under 7
bases are ova
boy I have some things to show ya
cause 7 is neutral
and it aint gonna hurtchu
now let me go through
some information that ill tell you
an acid and a base make a salt and water
but you might ask
why bother,
you might think
this stuff is junk
but it aint, and youve got to preticipate,
because if you spill an acid and just wait,
someone might get hurt, you need to neutralize with a base,
you'll still have a wet space
but now you just got to clean it up
as long as you dont got a cut, you can touch it
no longer, a need to rush it
just use some paper towels and soak it...up
Just soak it up.

Acids and Bases, theres no time to waste,
I gotta lay down these rhymes
make no mistake,
Imma give it to you clear,
my words will go to your brain though your ear
and nest there,
and you learn your share
of acids and bases
just listen to me
and you'll be free,
to remember as you please
you can go around, do some good deeds
if you just listen to me
just listen...

Now how do you know if youve got an acid or base?
Arrhenius, he'd ask you
does it start with H?
or does it ends with OH?
if it starts with H, its an acid
if it ends with OH, its a base.
you've learned their place...
but oh whats this?
Ammonium is a base, but it dont end with OH,
this is a disgrace
Arrhenius was wrong!
we need a different system
don't worry, thats another song.....

So lets say you find a substance in a bottle
you wanna see if its dangerous or volatile,
You wanna do some tests
so you get some paper litmus
and you stick it in the substance.
Now what does that paper do?
does it turn red or stay blue?
If its red for you, then its an acid,
but when its blue, that means it must be a base true.
Now remember what I told you

Acids and Bases, theres no time to waste,
i gotta lay down these rhymes
make no mistake,
Imma give it to you clear,
my words will go to your brain though your ear
and nest there,
and you learn your share
of acids and bases
just listen to me
and you'll be free,
to remember as you please
you can go around, do some good deeds
if you just listen to me
just listen...

So maybe you don't have litmus paper(a)
you wanna know some other ways to find the ansa.
Is the substance corrosive to metal?
If you put it on there, and make a little puddle,
if the metal gets all corroded and nasty,
thats probably an acid you got, see?
But if the metal didnt change,
you've still got a chance,
In theory, if you tasted this substance,
I say, youd know right away,
its side of the pH scale, ey
cause acids are sour, bases are bitter
so thats yet another way,
of finding this subsances pH
hey, but dont go away
cause I still got some rhymes to lay
down
haha

Acids and Bases, theres no time to waste,
i gotta lay down these rhymes
make no mistake,
Imma give it to you clear,
my words will go to your brain
though your ear
and nest there,
and you learn your share
of acids and bases
just listen to me
and you'll be free,
to remember as you please
you can go around, do some good deeds
if you just listen to me
just listen...
(3:47)
(Loop)

We know that bases form precipitates
with most metal ions solutions,
we do?
yes
so just mix those two,
and if it gets hard you,
you know thats a base you have, true
thats all you got to do.

Now
acids and bases donate
their H plus and OH negative
Now this is what makes them strong or weak,
some give off easily, they let them flow like a creek
but some turn the other cheek,
cause they like to keep
their H plus or OH negative
thats what makes them weak.

Now their is a list of strong acids and bases,
but if you think im gonna rap it your wrong,
cause you already have way more than 3 stanzas in this song
so your gonna have to remember it,
all by your self
have fun
