Writers in the Pub (Shakespeare in Da Hood)

[Ben Jonson]
Yo! Yo! Put down your quill
This show is about to get real!
[Christopher Marlowe]
Writer’s in the house
[Gabriel Spenser]
Drop a beat!

[Jonson]
You can call me Jonson I’m straight out of jail
Scribble down my things so that I can post bail
I wrote thirty plays, I’m a lyrical saviour
Just sent to prison for my lewd behaviour

[Marlowe]
Christopher Marlowe, street name ‘Kit’
Did time in Holland ‘cos my cash was counterfeit
Mention I’m a spy and you’re gonna get hit-
Obviously, I can’t talk about that bit!

[Spenser]
S to the P to the E to the ENSER
Spenser, ah-ah, ah-ah! More like a fencer
Stabbed a man but I’m claiming self-defence, yeah
[Jonson]
To the writer’s in the pub
[Jonson & Spenser]
Things are getting tenser!

[William Shakespeare]
And I am Shakespeare, I’m working hard on my writing
I’ve got sound investments, and I’m not into fighting (What?)
My plays are wild, but I’m financially prudent
They want to go to prison, but personally, I wouldn’t

[Jonson, Marlowe & Spenser]
Listen up, bro!
[Spenser]
I killed a man who was armed with some candles
[Marlowe]
I’d fight a duel if you wore the wrong sandals
[Jonson]
I’m in jail so much that I’m wearing out my cuffs
You can call us writers but we’re just a bunch of roughs!

[Shakespeare]
And I am Shakespeare, I do the job properly
Building my plays, and a portfolio of property (Embarrassin')
I want to write the greatest plays ever
But staying out of trouble would seem to be clever

[Jonson, Marlowe & Spenser]
No, no, no way!
[Marlowe]
I’m gonna die drunk in a fight!
[Spenser]
Keep it real, he’s gonna kill me for a slight
[Jonson]
I’m fighting so often, there’s barely time to write
Forget about the quill we’ll be up all night!

[Shakespeare]
Introducing Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the First (Say what?)
[Elizabeth I]
I’m Queen, L to the I to the Z
Ruling this land from the sea to the sea
Shakespeare’s plays are the plays I wanna see
So drop another Falstaff 'ting on me!

[James VI]
King James, her successor, feeling just the same
I like them so much that I’m giving him my name (Thanks!)
The King’s Men- the greatest in the land
[Shakespeare]
Isn’t this nice- turned out grand
