letra de american history recap rap (4th of july special) - the warp zone

[verse 1]
start with the puritans, persecuted for their beliefs
sailed across the pond, found religious relief
in jamestown, va free and clear
never mind all the natives who were already here
but to 13 colonies they grow up fast
britain recognizes that, has them heavily taxed
with the sugar act, stamp act, even the tea
which they dump in boston harbor, now george’s peeved
“the british are coming” paul revеre is on it
lexington and concord, continental congrеss
meets a couple times, writes an independence clause
g dubs leads the charge, france joins the cause
in ’83 british are done retreating
benny franks and co to paris to sign the treaty
g dubs steps up as president one
“we the people,” america has begun

[chorus]
america, america
a new inspiring place
all men created equally
if they are white and straight

[verse 2]
louisiana purchase got the french to leave
lewis and clark start our destiny
missouri compromise got us split like bananas
welcome cali and texas after war with santa anna
while we’re trying to get west, things are looking south
tubman goes underground to get slaves out
sumter, civil war, lincoln says “4 score”
union wins, emanc-p-tion, lincoln shot in the fore-
headed west still, but our pony’s getting tired
transcontinental rail
ah!
chicago’s on fire!!!
from baseball to phonograph, that’s progress man
still fighting natives at custer’s last stand
ellis island statue welcomes immigration
plessy vs ferguson welcomes segregation
another war already?
with spain?
ah geez
while the natives have it worse than wounded knees
[chorus]
america, america
you’re beautiful, of course
grand canyon and yosemite
acquired with brute force

[verse 3]
roosevelt and his stache rough ridin’ on his horse
wright bros, henry ford affect the first world war
women casting ballots, roaring 20s, prohibition
herbert hoover screws us over, market crash, great depression
fdr’s new deal, things are looking up guys
europe war again?
kamikaze’s hit paradise
the bulge, d-day, eisenhower leads us through it
get back at j-pan, but we kinda overdo it
now the babies start boomin’ and we got harry truman
starting war in korea, but we don’t know what we’re doing
mlk, malcolm x still fighting segregation
crisis down in cuba, jfk assassination
johnson, vietnam, sending kids to certain doom
summer of love, put a man on the moon
kent state, watergate, man we’re not lookin’ great
roe v wade, camp david, maybe now we’ll be ok
well, nope, ’cause the soviets got us by the b-lls
olympic boycott, “tear down this wall”
reaganomics in effect, been a minute since a war
first bush we elect throws us into desert storm
grunge and plaid, clinton makes a stand for the economy
then he unzips his pants
y2k!
we’re all gonna die!!!
yjk guys
[chorus]
amuuurica, amuuurica
becoming number one
not politics or scientists
but a-holes wielding guns

[verse 4]
thanks to florida, dubya beats gore in the election
wake up to 9/11, start rampin’ up the tension
homeland security, the patriot act
it’s a full on war on terror, so invade iraq
for their freedom, of course
’til we catch hussein
while at home we’re getting pounded by hurricanes
housing market sucks, plus a huge recession
first black president, but what a mess we left him
stimulus package gets us back on pace
seal team 6 raids bin laden’s place
g-y marriage, aca, unemployment dips
2016 election and now this sh-t

don’t get mad or misconstrue
it’s supposed to be an entertaining overview
but remember where we came from, remember our mistakes
united but divided, that’s how you make us great
