Global Rap Lyrics: The name is Charlemagne and I live in a castle, All of the serfs desire my vassal, They all wish to live in my manor, One even asked to be my planner I am a Christian but I wish I was a Jew, I baptized our wizard, now he's one too, Before I was a king all I had was a fief, Now I'm older I have courted 12 wives Out in battle I fight with my sword, Over my rein I have appointed 12 lords, Following the ancient period and between the new time, For 1000 years the Middle Ages shined My empire stretched from sea to sea Since I was strong the Vikings traded with me In the Middle ages we didn't use soap I was knighted by Leo III our great pope When I was young I didn't go to school By my dad I was considered a fool But now I am king and what I say is done And I say school for everyone As I expanded and the population grew The feudal system came and passed through I look back when I was young My dad Pepin was an angry one Although my rein lasted only 46 years It came with blood and some tears Through out my rein I learned to give I'll go down in history as the best Frank to ever live The Industrial revolution brought change and reform It started in England where Capitalism was born Some Entrepreneurs did become rich The ones who didn't became their........friend Urbanization moved people to the city The bad sanitation made the roads not pretty The city still, was not real hot Factory workers wages still were not a lot Children, women and even men Worked in the factories over and over again It was not fair, women were paid less They had to work the new printing press With new machines, the environment was in doom One they called was the steam-powered loom The spinning jenny and the spinning mule Were examples of, clothing line tools The coal powered the railroad The railroad moved the people This transported them to the new designed steeple Industrial Revolution can't stop that Adam Smith was the man who started it all Without him Capitalism would have never called In his book call The Wealth of Nations He told how competition would be a motivation His well known Rival Karl Marxs Explained that communism would make you spark He also had a book that rivaled Smiths But people who like communism should be thrown in a ditch Capitalist ideas soon came across the pacific The Americans thought this idea was terrific If you look at our government structure today You'll see that communism was pushed away Working conditions were not up to par Reforms during this time were not too far The Industrial Revolution made rapid social change Without this period where would we be today? Along the Tiber River Rome began to shine The Romans were drunks since they drank wine When you count the hills, there are seven Some considered Mount Olympus to be Heaven Julius Caesar was the dictator of Rome The Plebeians didn't live in Villas, they lived in homes When Caesar was killed in 44BC A triumvirate took over (which is three) There were twelve tables in Roman law They were out in public so everyone saw The Senate was part of Democracy Most of the Senators were part of the Aristocracy For 100 years the Civil War Raged Instead of peace war was waged The Pax Romana is about peace Close to Rome was Sparta, in Greece Virgil was a classic Roman writer In the Coliseum there were animals and fighters Rome is located in the Italian boot Where grapes are grown, a valuable fruit Only male citizens were given the right to vote Caesar died from a knife to the throat When Rome adopted Christianity The Barbarians brought Rome to debris When we took Liberty our nation rose, and grew Unlike the Romans we didn't exile the Jews American's must look back so far To see how the Roman Empire left their scar
