Rap matthew henson going to the north pole
Lyrics
[intro]
(Yo, Henson)
From the ships to the snow, black man leadin' the show
North Pole callin', feel the freeze, let's go
[verse]
Born in Maryland, 1866, young Matt on the run
Orphaned quick, hit the seas at 13, chasin' the sun
Sailor strong, met Peary in '88, sparks ignite
Polar dreams, they team up tight, ready for the fight
Greenland '91, first taste of the ice, learnin' the land
Inuit ways, dogsled mastery, knife in hand
Buildin' igloos, huntin' seals, survival code cracked
White man's world, but Henson black, carryin' the pack
Back and forth, expeditions stack, 1890s grind
Lost toes to frost, but mind sharp, leavin' doubts behind
Peary's right-hand, the real navigator, charts in his brain
Dogs mushin' hard, through blizzards and pain
They call it North Pole quest, but Henson the pulse
Inuit tongue fluent, buildin' trust, no false
From Brooklyn streets to Arctic sheets, risin' elite
Pioneerin' paths where others retreat
[chorus]
North Pole, North Pole, Henson takin' the lead (ayy)
Sleds skrrrt through the white, plantin' that seed (brr)
First foot on top, flag in the snow (yuh)
Black explorer king, steal the show
North Pole, North Pole, breakin' the ice (ice)
Peary behind, but Matt paid the price (price)
History hid it, but truth gon' rise
Henson forever, touch the skies (skrrt, skrrt)
[verse]
1908 launch, ship Roosevelt sailin' northbound
Eighty-six dogs, crates stacked, Peary's crew profound
But Henson the glue, trainin' the pack, Inughuit kin
Walrus meat grind, prep for the spin
April '09 push, 26 men start the dash
Whittlin' down, Henson scoutin' flash
Blizzards rage, leads melt, dogs dyin' fast
But Matt unbreakable, coverin' vast
April 6th dawn, last camp to the prize
Henson ahead, Peary wise—send the prize guy
Six strides to pole, proddin' the snow, confirmed true
First man standin', black excellence through
Planted the flag, turned back with the proof
Crew caught up, Peary claimin' the roof
But Henson's steps eternal, etched in the freeze
Overcame the hate, brought the world to its knees
[chorus]
North Pole, North Pole, Henson takin' the lead (ayy)
Sleds skrrrt through the white, plantin' that seed (brr)
First foot on top, flag in the snow (yuh)
Black explorer king, steal the show
North Pole, North Pole, breakin' the ice (ice)
Peary behind, but Matt paid the price (price)
History hid it, but truth gon' rise
Henson forever, touch the skies (skrrt, skrrt)
[break]
[bridge]
They tried to erase, whitewash the tale
But Henson's fire, it never fail
Medal of honor late, 1944 shine
Unsung hero, now we rewind
From slave roots to polar boots
Matt Henson, undisputed truth
[chorus]
North Pole, North Pole, Henson takin' the lead (ayy, ayy)
Sleds skrrrt through the white, plantin' that seed (brr, brr)
First foot o
