Hamlet Rap

English project...
enjoy!

Verse 1
Picture this.
My mother's with my father's brother
No explanations necessary, don't even bother
It feels like I'm the only one that's grieving for my father
Is this an act of God or by Uncle, King Claud
This is too odd, how my father died
I'm the only one that's wondering and asking why
While that wretched woman stands there as the new bride,
Or should I say as King Claud's new ride, no pride
But here I am, keep the family reppin til the A.M.
Until I know the truth, I'm acting crazy, H.A.M.
I just hope that fake insanity won't get the best of me

Chorus
To be or not to be
That is the question
To die or to sleep
That's not an option

Verse 2
It's calling out to me, making me believe in make-believe
The ghost is my father, is this really reality?
Trying to wake up from this dream, my mind's forsaken me
And I can clearly see, and I am brought to knees
Avenge my father's death so I could now set him free
It was my Uncle Claudius, his poisonous deed
But really, it's not surprising at all
Cuz in the end, every evil, every sinner will fall
Perfect timing, the players are here
Poetic rhyming that will make him tremble in fear
And I'm the overseer, the controller of the play,
My story is the hunter and my uncle is the prey

Chorus
To be or not to be
That is the question
To die or to sleep
That's not an option




Verse 3
Upon my visit to my mother, trying to knock some sense into her
Then I heard another voice, thinking that it's the king but rather
It was the one and only rat, Laertes's father
And Ophelia was hurt and insanity will grab her, it will drown her,
Create the love affair
For both Laertes and I, it was hard to bear
It came down to a fencing match
Where a hit (fencing hit) became a bloody scratch
In the corner of my eye, I saw my mother snatch
The cup that my uncle held
And instantly she fell
Both Laertes and my mother died, I could tell
The time has come, the time to break the spell (avenging my father's death)
I let my uncle drink and whispered go to hell

Chorus
To be or not to be
That is the question
To die or to sleep
That's not an option

Chorus
To be or not to be
That is the question
To die or to sleep
That's not an option

Alas I die with an honorable pride
This rap is the truth, yes it's the proper guide

Chorus
To be or not to be
That is the question
To die or to sleep
That's not an option
