So, my dad really wants me to record this rap which he wrote about the 47%, a reference to that horrible utterance by Mitt Romney about how half the country is just looking for a handout. What an out of touch moron.
I haven't had a lot of time to sit down and get this thing on wax, but I'm planning on doing a spoken word, perhaps with a drum beat (a la "Whitey On The Moon" by Gil Scott Heron), version of it this week when I get a chance.
In the meantime, I thought I would post it up again and ask if anyone would like to record their own version. It could be a video, or just an audio file. You can do it a cappella, or do it over an instrumental track. Have fun with it. I'm sure, whatever you do, my dad will love it because you're helping to get the message out.
Post a link to your version in the comments section below, and I will make a blog post about each one! Looking forward to experiencing your creations :)
47%
By Jim Naughton
Forty-seven-percent
That's amost HALF
Vote for Willard Romney?
(Don't make me laugh)
He resents the poor
Think they the trash
Spends his nights tryin'
To rake in mo' cash
To buy his way
(And the USA)
Cause Corporate Welfare's
For Sale today!
We gotta stop Willard
Afore he steal the show
So either Vote for Barack Obama
Or Romney's Mind Control
Forty-seven-percent
(Where they future went?)
Forty-seven-percent
Can barely pay they rent
Forty-seven-percent
Of folks today
Don't pay no taxes
Cause they earn no pay
They either outta work
Or sick, or old
Or all the above
(They just don't have the gold)
But the one-percent
(That's those on top)
Do all the Benjy snatchin'
And they just can't stop
They the Greedy.
We the Needy.
They the Greedy.
We the Needy.
We were the 99
(Now we're the 47?)
It's like we been marked down
Stale manna from heaven
In the discount rack or
In a dumpster out back
It's all the same to Mitt
If you white or black
You just a number to him
A figure on his etch-a-sketch slate
Your job's goin' to China
And you standin' at the gate
He the worst they is
He ain't got no soul
No heart, just a grin
(Romney a real A-hole)
We gotta stop this liar
Afore he steal the show
So either Vote for Obama
Or Mind Control
We the Needy.
They the Greedy.
We the Needy.
They the Greedy.
We the forty-seven-percent.
