(MY NAME IS) MACBETH<\/p>\n

I wanna tell you a story full of blood, murder and death
\n(My Name is) Macbeth
\nI was the baddest motherf- in Scotland
\nWhichland? Whereland? Wholand? Whatland?
\nI won a battle at the head of my legions
\nShowing my allegiance, slapping down Norwegians
\nBearing a grievance, they came to attack
\nBut ain’t nobody gets to f- with Big Mac
\nOn my way home I ran into these three mystic bitches
\nOf a kind that in those days were commonly referred to as witches
\nAnd they gave me some big news I had not been seeking
\nThey told me that one day I would eventually be king
\nThey got the other part right about being Thane of Cawdor
\nAnd I started thinking thoughts that I knew I didn’t oughta
\nI shared the good news with my good lady
\nI was getting kinda scared but she stayed slim & shady
\nShe said “What do you owe this king? Why you wanna be so nice to him?”
\n“If you’d left it up to me I already woulda iced him”
\nShe was going on and on, frankly it was starting to bore me
\nAnd i think it was about then I saw a dagger before me
\nIf there’s one thing I just can’t stand, it’s naggers
\nSo I done the deed and she ditched the daggers<\/p>\n

(My name is, my name is, my name is)
\nMacbeth<\/p>\n

Hi (my name is) What? (my name is) Who? (my name is)
\nMacbeth<\/p>\n

Now I had the crown but I didn’t feel like no winner
\nWhacked my best buddy Banquo, guess who came to dinner
\nWent back to the witches, this time they did not expect me
\nSome spirits gave me some knowledge they said would protect me
\nThey said “You’re cool till the trees come attackin’ your castle
\n“And watch out for Macduff”, man, I knew he was an asshole
\n“Though your deeds may be dark and your doings despicable,
\nBy man born of woman, yo’ ass is unkickable”
\nI came swaggering home with my new information
\nAnd had Macduff’s family murdered by way of celebration<\/p>\n

Hi (my name is) What? (my name is) Who? (my name is)
\nMacbeth
\nHi (my name is) Hail! (my name is) Avaunt! (my name is) See you!
\nMacbeth<\/p>\n

Now Malcolm was the name of the old king’s son
\nAnd on the day I done his dada in, to England he had run
\nAnd ever since then, well I hadn’t heard jack
\nBut now he was back to attack and harrass the Mac with a pack of Sassenachs!
\nMy knees were knockin’ my head was hurtin’
\nMy defences were down, my troops were desertin’
\nI strapped on my armour, my mood was improvin’
\nTill some kid said “check it out, dude, the trees are movin'”
\nThe thanes were a strain on my brain, they were feeling the pain, they
\ndecided they didn’t haveta
\nMy lady went crazy and done herself in, she shoulda died hereafter…
\nThere mighta been a time to feel some pain or sorrow
\nTomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
\nHey Macduff what is your problem man, where is it that you get off?
\nYou break into my castle tryin’ to cut my -kin’ head off?
\nYeah give it your best shot, Lay it on, you nut
\nNo man born of woman can kick this butt
\nTurns out my charm didn’t offer no protection
\nMotherf- was delivered by caesarian section…
\nThat’s the last you’ll hear from me, all things being equal
\nUnless some dumb motherf- decides to write a sequel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Any literature teachers out there? See if this makes your class more appreciative of Shakespeare.<\/p>\n
