Information on the rapper
[Note: For readability purposes, the French surname "d'Arc" (pronounced like "dark") is used instead of the English "Arc", as common practice with medieval surnames is to revert to native form. The English do not include the "of" in "house names".]
Joan of Arc, or Jeanne d'Arc; Joan/Jane/Jean of Arc in French was born on January 6, 1412. She was a French folk heroine noted for her bravery during France's Hundred Years' War against England, followed by her trial and death at the stake after capture by English forces in 1431.
Born to a peasant family in northeastern France, as a teenager d'Arc had suffered firsthand the consequences of the Hundred Years' War. At around age twelve (per testimony at her trial), d'Arc claimed to have had contact with three saints in a vision that told her to drive the English out of France. A short time after, she joined a French garrison and passed as a man through enemy lines. From there, she began a campaign to retake occupied France. This included the dissolution of a 1429 siege at Orleans in nine days, and the capture of Reims later in the year that made possible the crowning of Charles VII.
Following a sortie in which she was ambushed by French rebels siding with England, d'Arc was imprisoned at the English fortress of Rouen, where she would be tried in 1431 and convicted for acting against the Catholic Church as a heretic. She was sentenced to burn at the stake, and executed May 30 of the same year. More than twenty years after her death, Pope Calixtus III retried d'Arc after the war ended, at the behest of parties close to her. In 1456, the Pope exonerated d'Arc of heresy and declared her a martyr, leading to her beatification (blessing by the Church) in 1909 and full sainthood in 1920, which was almost 500 years after her death. D'Arc remains influential in modern culture, both in France, and elsewhere, with influence felt across television, film, art, music, and even in video games.
Information on the cameo
Joan of Arc appears briefly at the end of Bill & Ted's first verse. In Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, d'Arc was one of the historical figures borrowed by Bill and Ted. She was summarily abducted by the duo along with Genghis Khan, Beethoven, Abe Lincoln, and other historical figures to help with their final report.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Lord, forgive me for the words I speak.
I know the voices of the angels tell me turn the other cheek,
But I'm about to rip Hannah Montana's tongue out through her teeth!
Je suis la fille en feu; call me Katniss Everdeen!
When it comes to bad bitches, I'm the patron saint,
But I only get down on my knees when it's time to pray!
I came to Frenchmen's aid in their time of need,
'Cause I'm the maid of Orleans. You're the Mardi Gras beads, honey.
My father taught me things your daddy couldn't teach ya.
Your highest calling was a text from Wiz Khalifa!
You gotta die for something, Miley. Just picture your epitaph:
"Had the world watching, chose to show them all her flat ass!"
Verse 2:
Do not take the Lord's name in vain, you ratchet skank!
Your manager's riding you to the achy breaky bank!
Be thankful for your talent; don't just rub it on your crotch!
Keep your party in the USA. Vive la France!
Scrapped lyrics
I know the, voices told me turn the other cheek.
But I'm the, girl on fire, Katniss Everdeen!
But I only get down on my two knees when it's time to pray!
I can't help but bring the heat, I'm a human firebomb.
You're a wreck on a ball, I wish a Jay-Z song was on!
