Matthew Henson ,s life rap
Lyrics
Yo, Matthew Henson, black explorer king
From the blocks to the top of the world, let the story ring
Ayy, let's ride
Born in Maryland, eighteen sixty-six, orphaned quick
Parents gone by twelve, no time for the tricks
Hit the seas as a cabin boy, Katie Hines ship
Learnin' knots and stars, grippin' life by the grip
Philly streets sharpened him, steel in his spine
Hatchet sharpener gig, but dreams crossed the line
Eighty-eight, Navy Yard, meet Robert Peary
Officer scoutin' talent, see the fire clearly
Nicaragua canal, first joint mission heat
Then Greenland call, nineteen ninety-one beat
Dogsled master, Inuit tongue on lock
Buildin' igloos flawless, never slip on the frost
Huskies obey, skies endless white
Face the freeze, crew breakin', he hold the light
Wordplay with wind, survival his art
Black man leadin' the charge, tearin' maps apart
Ayy, yuh, push through the drift
Henson to the Pole, first foot on the freeze
Breakin' chains in the cold, history on his knees
No cap, real trailblazer, name etched in ice
Matthew Henson rise, pay the ultimate price
Henson to the Pole, first foot on the freeze
Breakin' chains in the cold, history on his knees
Yuh!
Back and forth, expeditions stack like plaques
Ninety-three to ninety-five, Greenland tracks
Ninety-seven push, nineteen-five crash and burn
But Henson rebuild, lessons earned
Ooqueah crew, faithful through the gale
Sleds skrrt on snow, winds howlin' wail
Zero-eight launch, final quest North Pole bound
Crew drop like flies, but he hold it down
April sixth, nineteen-oh-nine, moment supreme
Henson hit first, plant the flag in the dream
Peary catch up, exhausted nod approve
But headlines skip the black man, that's the move
Back home snubbed, workin' customs hall low
Till seventy-seven, Congress finally know
Pioneer plaque on the moon, legacy glow
From slave roots to stars, that's the flow
Ayy, uh-huh, eternal stride
Henson to the Pole, first foot on the freeze
Breakin' chains in the cold, history on his knees
No cap, real trailblazer, name etched in ice
Matthew Henson rise, pay the ultimate price
Henson to the Pole, first foot on the freeze
Breakin' chains in the cold, history on his knees
Yuh! Yuh!
They tried to erase, but the truth don't bend
Black excellence leadin', from beginnin' to end
(End, end) Echo on the tundra, voice never dim
Henson forever, let the anthem spin
Henson to the Pole, first foot on the freeze
Breakin' chains in the cold, history on his knees
No cap, real trailblazer, name etched in ice
Matthew Henson rise, pay the ultimate price
Henson to the Pole (Pole!), first foot on the freeze
Breakin' chains in the cold (cold!), history on his knees
Ayy!Yeah, Matthew Henson
