My Name is (World Cultures Remix)

My project for AP Human Geography. Took the words of My Name Is by Eminem and changes the lyrics to be more related to the three main cultures of the world. Enjoy!! P.S. The lyrics are below so follow along if you'd like!

Lyrics By: Alec Nelson


[Chorus: repeat 2X]

Hi! My name is.. (what?) My name is.. (who?)
My name is.. [scratches] Human Geo / Eastern Culture
Hi! My name is.. (huh?) My name is.. (what?)
My name is.. [scratches] A Nels. / Eastern Culture

Ahem.. excuse me!
Can I have the attention of the class
for one second?

[A Nels.]
Hi kids! Do you like China? (Yeah yeah yeah!)
Wanna see sculpture, acupuncture, and Chinese opera? (Uh-huh!)
Wanna travel to see the Beijing Olympics? (Yeah yeah!)
Try meditation, wushu or fighting with karate sticks? (Wha?)
This One-Child policy is, not what the Buddha says
Ying-yang, foot binding, this culture is craziness!
And the Iron Chef's plan, "Let's go to Japan!"
Uh-huhhh! "You want a sushi pan? Godzilla ran!"
Well the samurai warred, with a cold steel sword
And now we got kawaii, TV, and internet without a cord
India, too, has gotten the high tech groove
And Bollywood, music, dance, and art is on the move
What's with the outsourcing, immigration, reincarnation?
Dharma, karma, kalari, sari, and everyone vegetarian?
Indus Valley!! (That's where they all started out)
Hindu, Muslim, Jain, the world is so insane!

[Chorus / Middle East]

[A Nels.]
My Human Geo teacher told us about the Fertile Crescent
First place into which our human roots were really sent
But the Middle East is not all its made out to be, terrorist facility
If only people could really see
Since its start, its advanced as fast as a dart
A collision of culture, religion and art
Its monopoly on fossil fuels is important to you
OPEC, Christian, Muslim, Jew, K2's got quite a view
From Mesopotamia to Burma, a culture is alive
Formed from desert people trying to survive
The greatest civilization, born and raised
Between the Tigris and Euphrates, many cattle grazed
Water water all around, but not a drop to drink
Their culture is so diverse, just stop and think
The cradle of life, where man was first born
Not a bunch of nomads blowing their horn!

[Chorus / Western Culture]

[A Nels.]
Stop the film! What about our own way of life? (Yeah!)
Yo, hold up, just talking with my one wife,
That's right, monogamic, literature, its pentamic iambic
We got democracy, not some king in a hammock
Started in Greece, moved the empire to Rome
And then the rest of Europe and America found a colonial home
One can hardly say we are deprived
With the tech, science, and capitalism, we're westernized!!
Spread all over the world, even when lips curled
We walk around as individuals, flags all unfurled
Natural law, human rights, rock n' roll, ballerinas in tights.
Skyscraper, arch dome, our money made that phone
We all stick to and follow the law of the land
Our rights and freedoms, we all understand
We tolerate others, are all brothers, love our mothers
Yet we pick on third world countries like a bunch of buzzards!!

[Chorus / World Cultures]
