So in the first semester of uni this fine year (2013), I took the subject Tragedy, and I had to research the play of Hamlet. In my presentation I then referred to King James I as King Jimmy, whihc spawned this song, which I categorise as "Flip-flop" since it's a terrible mockery of hip-hop. Nevertheless, this was really fun to do, so if you chaps like it, rate+review so I know whether I should more jams of insanity on here.
I know the microphone and my diction are both sub-par, so I'll leave the lyrics here:
KING JIMMY, KING JIMMY
HE'S ALRIGHT,
KING JIMMY, KING JIMMY
HE'S ALRIGHT,
KING JIMMY, KING JIMMY
HE'S ALRIGHT,
KING JAMES THE FIRST AND I ARE HELLA TIGHT
WALKING WITH MA CREW
IN JACOBEAN TIMES
WE AIN'T HELLA HATIN
AND WE AIN'T COMMITTIN CRIMES
BUT WE SO FLY THAT THEY THINK WE'RE WITCHES
GETTIN SO SCARED THAT THEY'RE PISSING THEIR BRITCHES
TYING US UP TO STICKS DOWNTOWN
BEING EXECUTED IN THE NAME OF THE CROWN
WE SO HOT WE'RE ALREADY IN FLAMES
WE GET ALL THE NUMBERS OF THE JACOBEAN DAMES
KING JIMMY, KING JIMMY
HE'S ALRIGHT,
KING JIMMY, KING JIMMY
HE'S ALRIGHT,
KING JIMMY, KING JIMMY
HE'S ALRIGHT,
KING JAMES THE FIRST AND I ARE HELLA TIGHT
SHAKESPEARE TURNS UP
AND SAYS WHAT THE HEY
IF YOU KILL THESE HOMIES
YOU'RE ALL BEIN HELLA CRAY CRAY
I NEED THEIR HELP SO I CAN BUST MA RHYMES
FLIPPIN OUT MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM FOR GOOD TIMES
SO WE JOINED UP WITH THE CHAMBERLAIN’S MEN
BEING CHORUSES AND MCS AGAIN AND AGAIN
IT WAS SUPER COOL, UNTIL SHAKESPEARE DIED
IT WAS KINDA SAD, SO MA CREW ALL CRIED
THEN WE MET WITH KING JAMES THE FIRST, HE WAS SHORT
BUT WE BECAME MUSICIAN IN HIS HIGH COURT
BETTER THAN THE JESTER, BETTER THAN THE DAME
AND THAT’S THE STORY OF OUR JACOBEAN FAME
