lirik lagu elliot and ben - king lear vs. titus andronicus
[verse 1: king lear]
i am the proud crown king of all of britain
ready to get started spitting out the disses that i’ve written
so prepare for this attack, lear’s back at the helm
or i’ll hack you up quicker than the halves of my realm
i am a man, more sinned against than sinning
but when i step to the mic nothing is stopping me from winning
in jest there is truth, so just let me let loose
and give you a reason to go crying to zeus
one wrong move made your life come undone
when you made a mother watch you put a knife in her son
your mistakes is to what your whole tragedy’s due
even my fool makes better life choices than you
you’re just a geriatric legionary
you cannot compare me, to this adversary
titus isn’t scary
you’re about as necessary
as a movie made by tyler perry
my story is legendary
heavy as my daughter carry
you’re like the general of losing his kids
you k!lled more than tamora and the emperor did
i mean 21 in battle, murdered mutius for your glory
not to mention your daughter, but that a whole other story
i saw your movie, you’re total disgrace
you just faked going mad till you were blue in the face
dancing while you’re dressed up as a chef for some cannibals
it’s no wonder that they made your character be played by hannibal
julie taymour should maybe pay more attention
and produce a film about a character that’s worth mention
i’m the role that actors spend their whole lives getting ready for
you’re the role that makes all the actors head right out the door
i’m lear, the most prominent drama and tragic man
i got literary scholars applauding out in the stands
you say lear and they’re cheering at the drop of a hat
mention titus and the whole room asks “who’s that?”
for a man who has spent his whole life fighting soldiers
you’d think that deep down there’d be something to have told ya
you should come not between a dragon and his wrath
or he’ll spend 40 bars straight kicking your ass
so go back to rome, cuz i’m saying “vale”
you just got slayed by a much better play
they say it’s not over till the fat lady sings
but your mama just rang and she named me the king
[verse 2: titus andronicus]
“your mom’s fat”, tee~hee. wow, what a beat
everybody knows lear can’t bring the heat
trumpets blast when i pass
when you walk past
your daughters mutter “ass”
“her lips, her lips!”, hey, old man look over here
everybody’s staring at the dead king lear
a broken heart, you’re dead
people are like “when’s this play gonna end? ”
yes, many a true word is spoken in jest, but i’m not playing around and still i’m spittin’ facts
you wanna talk about mothers, that’s fine with me. what happened to your wife? did she k!ll herself too?
or more like cordelia, had to get away from you?
anyway buddy, it’s probably lucky she left
before you cleft her ya kingdom then lost it to theft
here’s the facts, your whole family deserted ya ass
meanwhile, i got 25 sons for a reason, you imbecile
you’re so old, people counting down the days till you die
when that day comes, i’ll bake ya ass in a pie
your rhymes are so bad, i feel like i should give you a hand
i don’t even need one just to take all ya land
ok, “lear” is a much better play
now shut your mouth before i want your kingdom and i take it away
how dare you bring up my daughter, lavinia is prettier with no hands and no tongue
than any of your children
and what’s it matter, life on a silver platter, they still can’t make it to old age
my daughter died right, two of yours died from rage
the other, well she was locked in a cage
and guess what lear? they all died off stage
