BEFORE CLOUT INTRO

INTRO – SOUND EFFECTS

"Alright, class, settle down! Settle down!

Today we're learning about ancient civilizations."

"Do we actually have to learn this?"

"Yes. It's important to understand where civilization began."

"So, like... before Wi-Fi?"

"Way before Wi-Fi. Before phones, cars, electricity..."

"Dang. So basically, before clout?"

"Exactly. Before clout"

VERSE 1 – SPOKEN RAP

Welcome to the world before the internet existed,

When getting verified meant your whole tribe witnessed.

No Instagram, no TikTok, no place to post,

Just a king on a throne saying, "I run the coast!"

No sneakers, no chains, no designer clothes,

Just animal skins and some questionable toes.

From the first little fire to the biggest empire,

Everybody wanted power, everybody wanted higher.

Kings had gold, pharaohs had bling,

Cavemen had rocks, everybody had a thing.

Some built pyramids, some built walls,

Some asked big questions, some conquered it all.

SKIT – SPOKEN

"Wait, are we really learning about all these civilizations?"

"Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Maya, Aztecs, Incas, China, Persia..."

"That's a lot of history."

"And you're about to hear every bit of it."

"Is there gonna be a test?"

"There better not be."

FINAL BUILD-UP – RAP

So turn up the speakers, let the history flow,

We're going way back to the world we used to know.

From the Stone Age beginnings to the empires of old,

Every story got a lesson, every kingdom got gold.

No clout, no likes, no followers to gain,

Just a whole lot of history and a whole lot of names.

You think the modern world's got everything figured out?

Welcome to BC... BEFORE CLOUT!

OUTRO – SPOKEN

"Alright, class. Open your textbooks."

"Nah, just play the album."

"..Class dismissed."
