ethan overton - the connecticut compromise lyrics

verse 1) yo, back in seventeen eighty+seven, a crucial session, constitutional convention, tension in the air, no question, virginia and jersey plans, clash of grand intentions, big states, small states, who would win the convention?
virginia brought bicameral, based on population’s sway, strong national power, their stance didn’t sway, while jersey stood for equality, unicameral plan, amend the articles, for all states, their demand
(chorus) constitutional convention, in the heat of the fight, virginia and jersey, debating through thе night, but from conflict came a compromise so bright, connecticut compromisе, setting things right
(verse 2) grand committee stepped in, sherman’s vision in play, blend the plans, find a middle way, bicameral congress, with a twist in sight, equal senate power, small states’ delight, house by population, people’s voice to ignite, revenue bills from the house, to keep it tight
(chorus) constitutional convention, in the heat of the fight, virginia and jersey, debating through the night, but from conflict came a compromise so bright, connecticut compromise, setting things right
(bridge) philly’s halls echoed with founders’ might, balanced power, in a nation’s light, freedom’s flame, justice in design, a union forged, for all time
(verse 3) united we stand, from those brave and bold, connecticut compromise, story to be told, big and small states, finding common ground, in a nation’s heart, where liberty is found
(chorus) constitutional convention, in the heat of the fight, virginia and jersey, debating through the night, but from conflict came a compromise so bright, connecticut compromise, setting things right
(outro) raise a toast, to the compromise won, in the dawn of a nation, under the rising sun, from virginia to jersey, and all in between, this rap’s for our history, a triumphant scene
