A truly epic collaboration!
Early in 2020 Fluency MC and Kris Amerikos initiated a collaborative project to create a song speaking directly to students of the English language. When the track was finished they decided to collaborate on a music video.
With travel shutdown worldwide the duo agreed to film their parts separately. Kris Amerikos filmed in Tampa, Florida, USA and Fluency MC filmed in Paris, France.
The entire music video was filmed by @fluencymc and @EnglishWithKrisAmerikos themselves on their cell phones. The filmed material was then sent to videomaker @PabloKovalli. The beat was made by Saimon Beats DeKA.

Intro:
Kris Amerikos, Fluency MC
You've gotta learn English man! It's worth it. (It's definitely worth it.)
Chorus:
It's more than present simple, it's more than present continuous
More than present perfect, I know that's a bit ambiguous
You need to know the rules, but you don't have to be perfect
Take the time to learn English - it's worth it
It's really very simple, doesn't have to be strenuous
The grammar judge will tell you, "Go on." That's a continuance
You need to know the rules, but you don't have to be perfect
Take the time to learn English - it's worth it
Kris Amerikos:
Maybe you speak English at work and you're a businessman
Maybe English speakers are jerks and you don't give a damn
Maybe you got called into court to take the witness stand
Maybe you speak English with your two friends on Instagram
Maybe you're just looking for practice; I can lend a hand
Help you understand and speak fluent English, listen man
If anybody ever could, it's Kris who can
Add some flavor when it's bland, that's why I'm in demand, here's the plan
Set small goals; don't try to learn 2,000 words at once
That's 6 words a day, 167 a month
Sure, when it comes to words it helps to know a bunch
But if you can't put them together they don't help so much
You've gotta live the language to know the language features
If you wanna know how I think, walk a mile in my sneakers
If you can say 5 words, you are an English speaker
That's straight from me, sincerely, your English teacher, muah
Chorus:
It's more than present simple, it's more than present continuous
More than present perfect, I know that's a bit ambiguous
You need to know the rules, but you don't have to be perfect
Take the time to learn English - it's worth it
It's really very simple, doesn't have to be strenuous
The grammar judge will tell you, "Go on." That's a continuance
You need to know the rules, but you don't have to be perfect
Take the time to learn English - it's worth it
Fluency MC:
You feel pressed to impress but can’t flow
You speak slow, no finesse; all that stress in your chest won’t let go
You’re a mess; get upset, you feel low, so depressed, no success
You’re growing obsessed
You invest, you take tests; yet nonetheless, can’t progress
So distressed, feel oppressed; it’s just too much to digest
You go and show them what you know; then oh no
All you’ve learned can’t access; all those words you forget, can’t express
So you guess you’re dumb cause the language won’t come
Succumb and give in, why did you even begin
And believe you could win at this game when you’re lame
If you leave, you’re to blame, no achieving your aims
All the same know you need it, no getting around it
This English is everywhere, got you surrounded
You’re bound to get there; for real, just stay grounded
It’s not as hard as it sounds to allow it
To ease into your brain; stay relaxed and entertained
You’ll find your lane, your will to build like it was all preordained
The walls fall, fulfilled your task; you smashed, the path unlashed
Your goals surpassed; at last unabashed; pull off the mask
Chorus:
It's more than present simple, it's more than present continuous
More than present perfect, I know that's a bit ambiguous
You need to know the rules, but you don't have to be perfect
Take the time to learn English - it's worth it
It's really very simple, doesn't have to be strenuous
The grammar judge will tell you, "Go on." That's a continuance
You need to know the rules, but you don't have to be perfect
Take the time to learn English - it's worth it
