You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge
[Verse 1: George Washington]
Straight outta Concord, crazy general named GW
From the gang called Wigs Wit Attitudes
When we're called off, we got flintlocks
Squeeze the trigger and red coats are hauled off
You too G if you don't free me
Lobsterbacks are gonna have to come and get me
Off your throne, that's how I'm going out
For the punk loyalists that's showing out
Freedom in the air, the time is ready
We threw tea in the bay, and the climb was steady
Nobody shoot until you see retinas white
Had to fight to survive, '75
So give it up Sir
Brits can't see me like a ghost call me casper
Here's an ambush to keep y'all dancing
Bunker hill is where we'll slow your advancing
Militia men are the tool
Don't make me act a brothel-hopping fool
Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe
We won't stop fighting, knock you out daily
Yo weekly, monthly and yearly
Till the Declaration's signed, sincerely
Better recognize this wars been won
Shout out Thomas Jefferson
So when you're in my colony, you better leave
Cause King I'm heated, best believe
You call this an act of treason
Here my main man benny bout to lay you down some reasons
[Break: George Washington (MC Ben)]
Yo Ben
(Wha**up)
Tell em where you from
[Verse 2: MC Ben]
Straight outta Boston, another radical spitta
More books I write, yo my rep gets bigga
I'm a bad philosopher and you know this
But the loud a** rowdies don't show this
And I'll be real with you, we don't like your taxes
And for the record, y'all fired without askin
Like Benjamin, definition is bachelor
And when we ain't armed, it's called a ma**acre
Write a declaration in a minute
You took extra revenue then, y'all just spent it
Made treaties and with French women I drown
So sit back and peep what's going down
You'll probably get mad like a Brit is supposed to
But that shows me torie, you're composed to
Founding group of dads that will think
Attitude legit I'm exposing Brits
If yo boys don't quit, and start static
I'll sail to France and, show you diplomatic
Not the right hand cause I'm the hand itself
Every time I pull Richard's off the shelf
We precipitate in anchorage and that's your loss
B-E-N spells Ben but I'm boss
See, cause I'll be tyranny stompin'
The revolution is clear, at the bit we are chompin'
To break free, without constraint
If you think we're punks that's, something we ain't
Look, you might take it as a trip
But a maverick like Ben is on a rebel tip
Straight outta Boston
Damn, that tea was dope
