Chris Eshbaugh - Story of ConCon Lyrics

(I'm feelin' my, feelin' myself... hello?)

Constitution started back when
Everyone was learning still
How to walk around the town
Avoiding being burned and killed
After freedom came, Great Britain lost the game
Independence was declared, it gave them quite a scare
'87 was the year
James and Alex had no fear
Takin' dubs one at a time
They were needing compromise
The A.o.C just wasn't enough
Old government was too rough
So they wrote the C-O-N
And put the Articles to an end
After writin' new laws
Federalists loved them they were in awe
But the antis disagreed
Made new trouble they did not need
Constitutional Convention was its name
Like a new invention I'm telling you
It changed the game

Independence in defense of
Declaration take this message
How the nation does convention
Delegates talk confederation
They made government just their own
Take away articles now they know
Nation's earned their freedom
And states are reppin' their home

In the days of old America (What)
The constitution (Was written)
Changed the game and still carries us (Ugh)
'Cause we still use it (Okay)
Confederation
Was not the way to go, uh
In the days of old America (What) yeah

Uh, ConCon, yeet

Madison was everybody's favorite man
He walked around makin' notes takin' a stand
Slavery was coming up as troubles had begun
But them boys wanted easy lives as Americans
So they made a compromise called the 3 over 5
The slaves had to give up everything for their lives
State representatives wanted equal rights
But no say from the president what's an easy find
This ain't no revolution
It's political pollution
Ain't nobody wanna fight for conflict so they're
Whippin' up a simple solution
These new documents got rid of
Arguments the size of monuments
Elements delegates worked so hard to be
Sellin' em and we loved it

Independence in defense of
Declaration take this message
How the nation does convention
Delegates talk confederation
They made government just their own
Take away articles now they know
Nation's earned their freedom
And states are reppin' their home

In the days of old America (What)
The constitution (Was written)
Changed the game and still carries us (Ugh)
'Cause we still use it (Okay)
Confederation
Was not the way to go, uh
In the days of old America (What) yeah

In the days of old America (What)
The constitution (Was written)
Changed the game and still carries us (Ugh)
'Cause we still use it (Okay)
Confederation
Was not the way to go, uh
In the days of old America (What) yeah

(Hello?)
Yeah
