MODERN ¿ART?

The name's Hamlet and I've got a tale

About madness, lust and a female

Dad's a ghost and he roams the floorsLurks at night in Elsinore

Got a pale face just like kiss paint

Normal you know this ain't

Something is rotten up in Denmark

A sick mistake

My uncle Claudius, his alibi is fishy

Suspicions of murder because he's acting hella shifty

Frailty, thy name is woman because my mom's on his

DA N I S H throne, my dad's ghost tells me

Swear, swear, swear to revenge my regicide

Claudius iced me one night, under my crown he tries to hide

So Hamlet, here's your mission, use your antic disposition

Make them think you're crazy, bring justice, fuse the fission

MC Lars – Hey There Ophelia



Meanwhile my girl Ophelia is goth as hell

Keeps a razor by her wrist, rocks out to Soft Cell

This girl's got more issues than Amy Winehouse

I'm like "Get thee to a nunnery, I'm not trying to find a spouse"

And she says, "Screw that, forget about that

I don't want to think about anything like that

Screw that, forget about that

I don't want to know about anything like that"

I've got nothing to do but hang around and get screwed up on you

(Forget it though)


(Just let it go)

I'm an emo prince, non-committal as could be

You'd be non-committal too if you were flawed like me

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are on my back and I've had it

I've got these players down from Norway, let them practice in the

attic



I'll have them reenact the murder, watch my uncle's expression

The play's the thing to catch the king and teach him a lesson

My uncle freaks out at the play, I know he did it just like OJ

Can't 187 while he prays because Hamlet won't play that way, nope

Confront my mom, throw her down on the bed

Because this Oedipus complex, has got me stressed in the head

Then I killed my girlfriend's dad, he was spying, now he's dead

I screamed at my mom while the blood made the carpet turn red

See kings lose crowns but princes stay intelligent

R Kelly has girl problems? This is drama, that's irrelevant

Ophelia bursts in throwing columbines and daisies

Singing songs about virginity gone, she's honest but she's crazy

And she says, "Screw that, forget about thatI don't want to think about anything like that

Screw that, forget about thatI don't want to know about anything like that"




(You've got to see)


(Not you, it's me)

We've got clowns in the graveyard and I'm talking to skulls

We've got murder and incest, who said Shakespeare was dull?

My girlfriend took her life and I'm like, "Goodness, gracious"

Her brother wants to duel, Laertes is too pugnacious

My uncle dipped the tip of the saber in poison

(Duel time)

Then he poisoned the cup that mom started enjoyin'

(Tool time)

I got stabbed with the poison sword

Then I stabbed my girlfriend's brother

And then I stabbed my uncle And we've all killed each other



To be or not to be

Well, I guess that solves that one

And I would have stayed in Wattenberg

If I'd known that this would happen

If you're ever up in Denmark on a moonlit night

You'll hear Ophelia's sad song when the full moon's bright

Baby, I'm sorry, I messed up, goodnight, my sweet princess

May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest and they sing


(Forget it though)


(Just let it go)

I've got nothing to do but hang around and get screwed up on you(You've got to see)


(Not you, it's me)



They gotta know, they gotta know,We gotta flow, they gotta know, theygotta know, ho (4 times)

To be or not to beThe Double D MCs are letting it beLet be, to be or not to be

MC Hobbs on the jobRipping rhymes like the mob

The sh*t's iller than Cape Fear, the Shakespeare sagaStarted with this Prince kid, his moms and his fatherHis pops got took for his props undercover by his brother, man

Now his brother's king lover, manActin' real trite he took his brother's lifeFor his green and to sex up his queenBut the prince, he ain't goin' for it, he's out for revengeHis pop's ghost comes and thenDammit, Hamlet, those are your ends!

from the film “Renaissance Man”



So just chill and cool for nowPlay the fool until you take him outCuz all eyes is on you, so the one wayor another,

It's a kamikaze style, or do itundercoverBut either way, ya gotta say-ah, sowhat the hey-ahStrap on your black and get set for thepayback

Ain't got no gat, but he's sportin' a toolStrap on the sword for the Laertes duel

Cuz he's tryin' to blame Hamlet for hissister's deathBut she took her own last breath, sheain't got shhh left



Never heard yetA more absurd setOf circumstancesMurder and romances so

Incest, we had to put it to restWe had time to manifest, hestuck the dagger in the king'schest

To be or not to beThe Double D MCs is letting it beLet be, To be or not to beThe Double D MCs is letting it beLet be, To be or not to be[Ophelia]

The Double D MCs is letting it beLet be, To be or not to beThe Double D MCs is letting it beGo Hamlet, go Hamlet, goHamlet, go Hamlet.



Hope you’ve enjoyed it!
