Thanksgiving

[Hook: Z.E.K.E]
The gang's all here
Turkey and dressing just arrived
Grandparents, still alive
Mom and Dad, still alive
Brothers and Sisters, on your side
Cousins bringing family pride
Thinking back to the Pilgrims and how they came from the other side
Made ties with the Natives
The real reason is buried alive along with those who died
Whoever said it was about the food, they lied

[Verse 1: Z.E.K.E]
Lesson one on the holiday at hand
Don't wanna bore them out their seats so feel free to stand
Where shall I began, I mean begin?
How about we start with the Motherland of Great Britain?
The Queen and King wanted to govern everything, but some people weren't going for it, all of that tyranny
So they decided to come to Mass, across the sea
Some people, the Pilgrims, believed that religion free
This isn't in terms of a monetary policy, but the economics were in their odds and they sought the opportunity
To start anew and end ties with Elizabeth
Signed that Mayflower Compact with decent penmanship
Slanted cursive like your's truly's manuscript
The Mayflower Compact was something like the first permission slip
I see a hand up, what are your comments or questions?
Hold on to them, I promise I'll answer right after the hook finishes

[Hook: Z.E.K.E]

[Verse 2: Z.E.K.E]
They came to Plymouth and named a rock after it
Or maybe this rock was the first rock they hit
When they pulled out the shores, out the Atlantic Sea
Massachusetts would soon be, one of the first colonies, you know out of thirteen
The reason there are thirteen stripes, sound off the bagpipes
No need to, we left those people back in the land of ice
Land Ho!, I can only surmise what they shouted, when they stepped off the Mayflower
That may have been a little crowded
Why you looking so astounded?
Don't tell me you forgotten about how this holiday was really founded
See this isn't even the end of my proyecto
Speaking of a native tongue, time to introduce Squanto
One of the many Trail of Tears heritage, you know that long barefoot walk with a horse or carriage to the West
But, I'm getting ahead of myself
The Natives knew the land, so they shared their commonwealth, with the Pilgrims who were low on health
Don't you see this holiday's about helping those who can't really help themselves!

[Hook: Z.E.K.E]

[Verse 3: Z.E.K.E]
Now you can all go home, and tell your parents you just learned the real reason
Of why y'all smashing on that good ole' turkey, seasoned, and that pile of mashed potatoes with gravy
I'm surprised this hasn't been taught to any of y'all lately, or maybe, it just wasn't in the groceries that you bought
But we have Google and Bing and it doesn't matter which you prefer
You have all of the answers right on your computers
And you're all tech savvy, I see plenty of you texting in my class
Don't worry I know who you are, don't be surprised when you don't pass, but aside from that, the delinquents in my class
I really hope there is no more confusion about this holiday's past. I must say that it's been blast, class!
But you're all a figment of my imagination
I'm just daydreaming in my 8AM, Macroecon class
