beau forest - the merchant of venice lyrics

[intro: brendan carr & myles fowler]
what troubles thee, antonio?
i know not why i am sad
that’s awful
yeah
i hear the music of the jew! the jew comes hither!
hie thee, gentle jew!

[bridge: dj shakespeare]
yo, dj shakespeare. shout out my boy antonio
shout out to b-ssanio, yo man, get it shylock, get it portia
yo, honors english, let’s go!

[verse 1: beau forest]
shy the jew yeah i’m comin at you
hotter than your favorite rapper since ’02
i live in the ghetto i ain’t tellin no lie
become a citizen man i ain’t gon try
i get abused by christians in venice
they treat me like a stupid menace
that ain’t bad enough, let me tell you somethin else
my daughter left me ‘lone like, oh farewell
she took all my money, which is all that i have
she wouldn’t even leave me a measly half
now where shall i direct all my pent up fury?
oh yeah, there’s antonio i shall not worry
he is my enemy but he’s somewhat like me
but that don’t mean i can’t k!ll him still, oh gee
maybe i can get him on a bond that he can’t pay
then k!ll him and send him on his way

[verse 2: myles fowler]
hey stop right there you dirty jew
i don’t regret that i spat on you
i don’t care cause i’m rich and christian
a merchant’s ships
never go missing
everyone loves me so much i glisten
worries about money
i am dismissing
b-ssanio, you could say is my best friend forever
help him out with money problems whenever
because i forever be mockin
talkin them stern words and we be walking
there be no stoppin when i start choppin
tell dj shakespeare this beat was rockin
yo, borrow money from shylock i don’t care about the bond
shylock’s verse was so boring i just sat back and yawned

[verse 3: brendan carr]
yo, i’m b-ssanio and i do confess
i’m catalyst of this whole mess
so sadly i had to ask my friend
for a lot of money that i could spend
couple months ago i met a girl
not the type to make you hurl
she is forced to sit and wait
for the arrival of her soul mate
there are three types of caskets i choose
gold and silver look overused
gold looks good but death inside
silver’s not bad, but ruin your life
lead is smart cause you be in her heart
boy…
b-ssanio out…
son

[verse 4: dominic sbrocca]
portia of belmont is my name
christianity is my game
pick the right casket, silver gold or lead
if you choose it right we will share a bed
many men have come, but all have chosen wrong
till b-ssanio came and i sang him a song
he says his closest friend will die
so i have to dress up like a guy
to a jew he owes a pound of flesh
coming from around his heart and chest
to the town of venice i will go
to try and save antonio

[interlude 1: brendan carr]
b-ssanio asked antonio for money
which was tied up in his shipping
so antonio went to a jewish moneylender named shylock
who gave antonio the money;
but if antonio failed to pay
back the money on time
he would forfeit a pound of flesh
meanwhile, shylock’s daughter ran off
to marry a christian named lorenzo
taking most of her father’s money
b-ssanio went to belmont
to win the love of portia
choosing between three caskets
having to choose correctly to marry her
which he did
however, their happiness was cut short
when they heard antonio failed
to pay his bond and needed legal aid

[verse 5: beau forest & dominic sbrocca]
i’m here to get my pound of flesh
i ain’t leaving till i get it fresh
i see your point in this case
but i suggest that you give grace
i am past that point of giving mercy
because the way he treats me really hurts me
is there a doctor within a shout
because i don’t want him to bleed out
i do not see that in the bond
i think you are just being too dang fond
but in the bond does it say
that you can take his blood today?
no, i guess it does not
and i see i’m wrong in what i thought
now accept christianity
good luck keeping your sanity

[interlude 2: beau forest]
and so grateful of the defending of his friend
antonio by this doctor
b-ssanio gave the doctor his wedding ring
b-ssanio’s friend, gratiano
gave the doctor’s -ssistant his wedding ring
this was a mistake for both of them
portia and gratiano’s wife, nerissa
saw this as an opportunity to mess with their new husbands

[verse 6: dominic sbrocca & brendan carr]
b-ssanio, how fair thee
for i know that you have missed me
t’was fun that we did win
a story to p-ss to our kin
you must soon tell me everything
but for now where is my ring?
a ring was given to the stranger
but give no fear he is no danger
with that stranger a bed i shared
for our bond you have not cared
i can’t believe you cheat on me
how can this be?
turns out that i am that being
here is your wedding ring
of this bond i will not stray
please give me my ring today

[outro: beau forest & brendan carr]
well, it looks like
i have a new favorite song
yes, indeed
