g money, big p, tobo tommy - it was a good day lyrics
intro (world history encyclopedia)
the persian wars were a number of battles and conflicts between the greek city+states and the achaemenid persian empire
the most significant battles of the wars were marathon thermopylae salamis and plateau all of which have become legendary
thomas’ verse (marathon)
first off we got the battle of marathon
the persians tried coming into our land like it was their lawn
they came in thousands, they had more brawn
but we had the brains, the greeks keep pressing on
we chose our spot, mountainous terrain
persians brought their opps, it was not by plane
greece had the upper hand, we left some bloodstains
we tricked the persians, they could not refrain
their warriors were slaughtered like bloods do to crips
the persians scattered, back to their ships
they tried to embark on their long trips
but us greeks advanced, yeah we got them clipped
yeah my boy pheidippides ran for his life
ran 26 miles all out of strife
he delivered the message that the persians got knifed
then they ran off to thermopylae so they could hide
the persians, yeah, i’m sure they pray
to maybe live just another day
we assassinated them, like the cia
i gotta say, today was a good day
chorus+
we just won the persian war so today was a good day (2x)
georgio’s verses (thermopylae)
here we go, now we’re on to thermopylae
yea my homie leonidas bro lead the way
the persians got thousands, 300 is all we need (this is sparta)
we got the sk!lls we got the power, godspeed
but one of the spartans, he was an opposition
he told the persians the plans, the entire mission
he dishonored the spartans, he destroyed our blood
yo, bring him down with a thud
the persians approached, onto our very lands
but the spartans had the phalanx and 100 bands (money)
in the mountain pass, the spartans fought hard
but leonidas and his boys were dealt a bad card
the battle of thermopylae we could’ve won but honestly
it was unlucky, like the men in the odyssey
but that’s alright, this was a simple sway
i gotta say, today was a good day
chorus+
we just won the persian war so today was a good day (2x)
prashim’s verse (salamis)
yeah, i just downed a ship in the battle of salamis
we were outnumbered and still won. how could it be?
well its cause we knew our geography
and now darius the great is begging on his knees
yeah we trapped the persian opps in a narrow confine
each ship rammed into another from right behind
safe to say that poseidon is on our side
yeah the persians better get inline
the only naval battle, we knew all the seas
on our boats we paddled, it all felt like a breeze
our strategy too good, they couldn’t see
the all+mighty greek fleet
yeah we shake em up
shake em up
shake em up to break em
their ships couldn’t move so we take them
their fault for traveling through a narrow straight
all their chances were gone, it was too late
ships in formation, victory too great
was it destiny or fate but hey
what can i say except that today was a good day
chorus+
we just won the persian war so today was a good day (4x)
