A parody called "use your pen" about Ben Franklin, from Lose Yourself by Eminem.
Lyrics:
"Use Your Pen"
Look,
If you had, One Chance,
Or one lifetime,
to become anything you ever wanted,
in one moment,
Would you do it,
Or just let it go,
Yo
His quill is INKED, paper's THERE, ready to THINK,
There are BOOKS in his library SINK there to LINK,
He's signing, America's ConstiTUTION, to make the LAW.
And many other instiTUTIONS,
Such as UPenn, and even Constitutional CONVENTION,
Making the first INVENTION for the PREVENTION of fire
you can't even QUESTION this, just a SUGGESTION,
this is Why I MENTION 'IM,
Snap back to the 20s, that's when he got,
honorary degrees, from Yale 'n Harvard,
while starting the first lending library,
even though he just, just got married,
to Deborah Read, who got worried,
on his long trips across the sea,
being the ambassador France and even Sweden,
This is why he was, never at ease.
(Hook:)
(You Better) use your pen, to sign the Constitution,
the declaration, you better never let it go,
You only get one chance, to declare your independence,
This opportunity comes, once in a lifetime.
(You Better) use your pen, to sign the Constitution,
the declaration, you better never let it go,
You only get on chance to declare your independence,
This opportunity comes, once in a lifetime.
(You Better)
No more games, Ima change the world today,
Ben's the one who signed the Confederation,
He was an inventor, scientist and philosopher,
He's been a musician, economist, not a hotspur,
And he kept trying and stepped up to be the pm general,
Best believe, he's the one who F 'n A social,
All the knowledge inside amplified by, the fact that he was,
flying sky high.
He first worked as a printer, while his dad was soap maker
in the city of Boston,
He invented the Franklin stove, and drove
the British out of the colony America,
Even though he published the Almanac,
called Poor Richard's,
he didn't get richer, 'cause there was no patent,
He also made the lightning rod,
it made people awe 'cause
there was no flaw, when the wind blows
on it, it would not fall,
He can't stay in one spot, he has to go to
France one more and become the first
postmaster general,
Success was his only supreme option,
failures' not,
yes he loves his job but this is very hard, He cannot
stop cause world is hot,
So here is his shot, Ben, fail me not,
this is the only chance he's got.
(Hook)
You can sign anything you want...
