Egypt Rap

A few thousand years ago in the land of sand,
came a smooth ruler Tut with a master plan.
Gonna build some tombs and monuments like none before,
gonna use lots of workers,
thirty thousand or more.

When the Nile was flooded,
they shipped the stone.
And every time they moved them,
there were broken bones.
Some workers might have been women but we're not for sure,
Some worked just for the pharaoh,
they went to local villages for more.

chorus: 2x

Polish stones broken bones
built the pyramids for the Pharaohs bones.

Architects and Priests
did some work too,
they laid it all out
for the others to do.

They squared up the temples
on just the right site,
to line up with sacred constellations
that they could see at night.

chorus: 2x

Polish stones and broken bones 

built the pyramids for the Pharaohs bones.

Imagine 4,000 pound stones of limestone grand, 

polished just right and moved through the sand.

Pushed up ramps and laid just right

fitting just perfect ,no machines, just might.

Gonna build them tall and straight 

not to the left of right,

using ropes to align the summit

keeping the peak in sight.

Can't believe they did it with no technology,

I once saw a show that said aliens could have helped, you see?

chorus: 2x

Polish stones and broken bones 

built the pyramids for the Pharaohs bones.

In the land of Giza, 

in old Egypt.

Lays a sick rock carving,

that's nobody's crypt.

Carved from the Giza plateau in the forth dynasty,

It's one of Khafre's things lining up with his pyramid you can still see.

It has the body of a lion,

and the head of a king,

there no longer is a nose on this giant thing.

It was once a giant monument of stone, not sticks.

If you ask me how old, i say four-six-three-six.

chorus: 2x 

Polish stones and broken bones 

built the pyramids for the Pharaohs bones.

Now we're back to Tut, he was called the boy king.

He was Pharaoh for just nine years,

and then there was his killing.

In the 18th dynasty is when he ruled.

He might of been just a kid, but don't be fooled.

He had big ideas and lots of land, 

and we still study his work in the land of sand.

His full name was Tutankhamun discovered by Carter and Herbert,

they shortened it to Tut just like Herb for Herbert.
