Matthew Baum - Macbeth Song

Sung to....

Instrumental Music (The Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song)

Now this is a story all about how

Macbeth got flipped-turned upside down

And I liked to take a minute just sit right there

And tell you how Scotland was under my heir

I won that war with courage and praise,

Three witches came to me and I was amazed!

bravery and courage make me “the man”

as I defeated Norway and Ireland

The witches prophecies, I thought were no good

Started making trouble in my neighborhood

I didn’t quite believe them, they couldn’t be true

But the Thane of Cawdor, made me come to

I begged and pleaded with my lady every day,

But she packed my bags and sent me on my way

Kill the king and don’t let people know

fulfilling the prophecy was my mo-jo

I see the dagger but it can’t find my hand

Fishing in the air like I orchestrate a band

“Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell

that summons thee to heaven, or to hell”

I looked at my kingdom, and I looked at my land

To sit on my throne as the King of Scotland

The crown is mine, look at all this swagger

I owe the guards, for the use of their daggers

Banquo on my tail, figuring it out

Hired some men, they know what its about

The ghost of Banquo sits at my table

Feasting with gang, thinking he’s able

Living like this is driving me insane

No sleep, parania, always a blame

Still thinking I’m the chief, I’m all cool

Looking over my shoulder, like nobody’s fool.

Everyone has left me, I’m an army of one

Living like a king, my days are gone

The castle is open, the army takes charge

my life is over, I am discharged

Greed and ambition is just no good

will kick you out of the neighborhood

so next time three witches come your way

think about your actions before you stray
