This is a musical teaching lesson touching on the basics of voting, local politics and national politics with lit hip hop music and rapping for the kids to digest key concepts early. lyrics You’re the future!
I can’t leave you in the dark, without an electrician you need to be the future, politicians So when you speak,the world will listen. When things aren’t going right in this nation you can create legislation
Those old heads will leave and the world is yours So you can create great laws Either you’ll be the ruler or you’ll be ruled So learn about law and politics in school and let the world know,that you’re nobodies fool It’s time for the new school to rule
When you v.o.t.e, you can keep the lights on the c.o.u.r.t You can play basketball and futbol and tell the town council we want the lights on In politics you have P.A.C’s, political action committees It’s very similar to lobbies, interest groups demand their needs fighting for their rights and communities If you don’t vote, you can’t complain and when your political, you bring about change Politics is war without bloodshed, that just means it’s a battle of the talking heads This just means we debate with our intellect because there are some things that are people must get! and being active, we’ll make sure of that So you must use politics as a tool You must make a change, cause we’re the new school.
The constitution divides the government-federal into legislative, executive and judicial To make sure no one has too much power cause power corrupts into a world that’s sour
The legislative, makes the laws, it’s the congress the house of representatives and the senate
The Executive, carries out the laws, the President, VP and the cabinet
The Judicial, evaluates laws, it’s the supreme court, and other courts If you don’t learn the constitution, it’s not my fault The constitutions one document you should know. In case you gotta deal with the judge or po po you gotta show people that you know your rights and for your community you have to fight Always remember, every things political So step up front cause your the leader of the new school
