M-dog and M-dogs Greek Minoan Rap

MINOAN RAP SONG M-DOG AND M-DOG____G-STYLE (GREEK STYLE)

 

They were civilized, civilized nation,

 Just hold up, you gotta be patient,

The island of Crete is where, the Minoans were created,

Remarkable people, all I can say, wait there is more coming your own way,

Built beautiful palaces, languages too,

 Art was their thing, the people over there were way better you.

They were the first at trading, and lived from 3000 to 375 BCE,

Even though they all died, their names are still to be,

They were peaceful people, didn’t have protective walls,

 If someone attacked they were sure to fall.

 Painting showed their life, in a colorful way,

 They recorded more paintings day by day,

They called painting frescoes,

 And that’s cool my bros.

They loved sports, great at them too,

 They invented Olympics, just for me and you.

 Woman played big parts, in their culture,

They took part of the ceremonies and helped out one and other.

They had beautiful art, languages too,

 That is quite phenomenal, my Greek learning brews.

They invented backgammon, super fun,

They traded in Egypt, wine, oil and rum.

No temples or churches, only a goddess of the earth,

That’s what they believed, and they were never hurt.

Had small shrines everywhere, but they didn’t care,

A connection to the gods is all that was theirs.

The painting were scary, double headed axes and... knives,

 Killing people, and taking many lives.

Gifts were given to the shrines,

Many presents everyday, most of the gifts were from all of mankind.

Great engineers, and builders,

 They built palaces for their peers,

And the houses that were built,

Were perfect and no tilt.

They were five stories high,

And that’s no lie.

Rich Minoans, had toilets and tubs,

The toilets flushed down all their manly grubs.

Their farmers grew grain, crops, olives and grapes,

 This stuff was grown in Crete.

Farmers raised sheep, goats and pigs,

But they all smelled because they ate to many figs.

This is the ending, nobody will ascend,

 In 375 there was a volcano that caused the end.

There was a tsunami,

Oh please help me mommy,

The waves washed Crete

And destruction was complete.

The volcano erupted in 375 B.C.E,

 It was the largest explosion in human history.

No one recovered, even though the town survived,

 The town was diminished and no one revived,

That was the last of Minoans, later on invaders named Mycenaeans had conquered Crete,

 And that was the end of the Minoans wait.

  The story ends here, I am sorry my peers,

We will talk to you later up from Greek heaven, so make a wish it’s 11:11.

 

Matt and Max
