Lyrics to Sumerian Economy
Right about now, M.W.A. court is in full effect
Judge D.U.C. presiding
In the case of M.W.A. versus the Sumerian economy
Prosecuting attorneys are Notorious A.V.I, Matti Elliott
And Slickram Vikram
Order, order, order
Matti, take the stand
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth
And nothing but the truth so help your Mesopotamian self?
You’re goshdarn right
Well, won’t you tell everybody what the heck you gotta say?
8,000 years ago in 6000 BC
Sumerians started trading
Sounds like bartering to me
Mesopotamians bartered with various goods
To many different cities
Or in A.V.I’s terms “hoods.”
In Sumerian culture, trade was essential
Since they lacked materials such as stone, wood, and metal
They traded with spices, teas, weapons, and food
Also with human skulls?
Which just seems kinda rude
It was later adapted by Babylon
As well as Phoenicia
It just kept on growin’
My verse is almost over
I must conclude
Mesopotamians With Attitude
Sumerian economy, suh- suh-
Sumerian economy, suh- suh-
Sumerian economy, sum- sum-
Sumerian Economy (Example of scene 1)
Pull your goshdarn butt over right now!
Aw shoot, now what the heck you pullin’ me over for?
‘Cause I feel like it
Just sit your butt on on the curb and shut the heck up!
Man, freak this stuff
Alright, smart-mouth, I’m taking your mesopotamian butt to Gilgamesh
Slick Vick, will you please give your testimony
To the jury about this messed up incident?
For a bit, bartering was lit
But Sumerian homeslimes found this inconvenient
They had no ways of trade, so they were lenient
Some people came along
And shared their plan
Of a currency system
Sounds good man
Sumerian, Mesopotami-AN
We’re M.W.A, not Wu-Tang Clan
Sumerians adapted currency
They adapted, unlike avi
With the introduction
Of the currency system
Bartering and trade?
Sumer started to miss ‘em
Bartering was brought back
Wasn’t removed
Instead
It was just heavily improved
That’s all I have
On the economy
So I’ll pass it to my slime
Queen LatAle
Sumerian economy, su- su-
Sumerian economy, su- su-
Sumerian economy, su- su-
Sumerian Economy (Example of scene 1)
*Knocking*
Yeah, man, what you need?
Gilgamesh, open now (Aww, shoot)
We have a warrant for Queen Latale’s arrest (*Battering ram*)
Get down and put your hands right where I can see ‘em (Move
Freaker, move now!)
Man, what the heck did I do, man? What are y’all doin’?
Just shut the heck up and get your motherfreaking butt on the
Floor! (You heard the man, shut the heck up!)
But I didn’t do anything
Man, just shut the heck up!
Queen Latale, won’t you step up to the stand
And tell the jury how you feel about this dumb stuff?
5000 years ago in 3000 BC
We went and made some coins
The start of currency
These coins were made of bronze, silver, tin
But these coins are kinda thin
People liked the Coin cause they could see what it was doing
Then came the shekel and the people knew it was special
Made of silver, Could be Minted
That’s not all Bogus binted
This was done in 650 BC
Cause they found it not too easy
They also had these tokens made of clay
These are the ones the people used everyday
And that’s it from Queen Latale
Gonna pass the mike to notorious Avay
Sumerian economy, su- su-
Sumerian economy, su- su-
Sumerian economy, su- su-
Sumerian Economy
The jury has found you guilty of being a bartering, Sumerian, no good motherfreaker
Wait, that’s a lie! That’s a goshdarn lie!
Get him out of here! (I want justice!)
Get him the heck out my face! (I want justice!)
Out, right now!
Freak you, you Mesopotamian motherfreakers!
First, rings made of gold
This crap got old and converted into bullions;
This was the first money discovered by Sumerians
Surpluses in the cities were collected in temples
A new system developed which kinda went mental
Not a british drill rapper
But I got dapper
Met this sumerian kid
And I might just slap her
I don’t ride no mules
I dont hang with fools
And as you all know, A.V.I’s here to rule
Whenever I'm rollin', keep lookin’ in the mirror
You might just see me strollin
Back of the club where I’m bowling
Sumerian economy, su- su-
Sumerian economy, su- su-
Sumerian economy, su- su-
Sumerian Economy
The jury has found you guilty of being a bartering, Sumerian, goshdarn motherfreaker
Wait, that’s a lie
That’s a goshdarn lie
Get him outta here
Get him the heck out my face
Out right now
Freak you you Mesopotamian motherfreakers
