[Verse 1]
Welcome, MC Grammar
My name is Lucius Claudius Magnus
Legatus Legionis: Commander of the Roman Legion
And today you will remember our name!
[Verse 2]
We are the Romans
We built these roads, and
Me and my soldiers
We cannot be broken
[Verse 3]
Horses and chariots
Weapons and gladiators
Our Emperors build empires
You don't wanna war with us
[Verse 4]
In seven hundred and fifty-three BC
King Romulus founded the famous city of Rome
(Ehh ehh, I heard that was a myth, bro)
No!
(Uh huh, so maybe you should let it go)
No, I won't!
See, we built these walls and we built these roads
See that aqueduct? (Yep)
We built that too
(Woah! Slow your roll, man, I don't want any trouble)
Tough! You can join the 45 million people
Three continents dominated – so easy!
(That's kind of evil! What's wrong with you people?)
We do it for the legion
Hail Cesar!
[Verse 5]
We are the Romans
We built these roads, and
Me and my soldiers
We cannot be broken!
[Verse 6]
Horses and chariots
Weapons and gladiators
Our Emperors build empires
You don't wanna war with us
[Verse 7]
Guess who's back? (Not again!)
Huh!
We can speak Latin
We can speak Greek
We are inventors
We made concrete
(You finished yet? Is that it?)
No! Follow me! (I'm on my way)
[Verse 8]
(The newspaper) Made it!
(The postal service?) Made it!
(The arch) Made it!
(The book) Yeah, we made it!
(Wait, air conditioning and underfloor heating?)
If you think it's great, then we probably made it!
[Verse 9]
(That's big-headed but also quite impressive)
Thank you very much!
(Now explain what you're wearing)
Take a guess? (I don't know – a dress?)
Don't be foolish
This is my tunic
(Man, you're wearing sandals! I'd rather go shoeless)
What? Take that back now
I said take that back now! (Hold on a second! What do you think doing?)
(Woah! Calm down! Oh no!)
[Verse 10]
We are the Romans
We built these roads, and
Me and my soldiers
We cannot be broken
[Verse 11]
Horses and chariots
Weapons and gladiators
Our Emperors build empires
You don't wanna war with us
[Verse 12]
Gladiators! (Where? Let me seem 'em)
Follow me, MC, to the Colosseum (Okay)
To a battle! A battle to the death
Survival of the fittest, till there's only one left
(Wait! Hold on a second! Did you just say "death"?
How is that fair when they don't even want to be there?)
We don't care! (Yeah, I can see that)
And if you carry on, you'll be next!
[Verse 13]
We're the Roman Legion
Five thousand geezers
In one day we march forty kilometres
(And so what?!
I swear you're unbelievable
In today's society, you'd be called a criminal)
Me?
(Yeah, you need to be more civil
Be kind and treat each other as equal individuals)
Is that you do where you're from?
(Well, that's what we're aiming for)
Maybe I can come with you?
Take me on a special tour
(Sure, now put down your shield and your sword)
Of course
As long you sing the chorus
(Okay, but agree it's time to turn the page
So let's seal this with a handshake)
(Okay)
[Verse 14]
We are the Romans
We built these roads, and
Me and my soldiers
We cannot be broken
[Verse 15]
Horses and chariots
Weapons and gladiators
Our Emperors build empires
You don't wanna war with us
Huh!
