Giveth Thy Lute (Biggie Smalls Parody)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vexMKH9lY3k

This is a parody of The Notorious B.I.G.’s classic track “Gimme The Loot” set in medieval times. The video clips are from various episodes of The Adventures of Robin Hood and a Robin Hood film from 1922. I made this for fun – hope you like it.

Giveth Thy Lute

All you serfs better know

My chap George left a bow and a quiver at my home
Didnt pay taxes to salute the Throne
One to three hell be out in 1393
Im ready to get this coinage, G you with thee?

Absolutely right, my satchels looking kind of tight
And Im vexed, my lord get the weapon chest

No need for that, just grab your feathered cap
The first saccus thats fat, thy claymores in his back
Word is truth, I will shank him, dont mime your moves
Treat it like fencing, parry/salute parry/salute

Baron, you need not to explain this
Ive been pilfering these peasants since the plague hit
With the same flail and the same paddle blade
Shank to and fro until Ive stoned another knave
Tis my code, stewards even try to en garde
Have his mother singing like a baaaard

Yes, Monk, love your royal attitude
Cause a fop that speak rubbish
Tis a fop Ill gork n spew
And spill guts, with the mace Im swingin
Scalds on the palms from the cauldron spillin
Then I gallop cross the moors and Im roguing wenches too
Up the arrow loops and skirt hoops
I dont give a groat if your dress shorn
Give me the coronets and the number one male baby born

Im flogging fops like Charlemagne joy is pain
When its time to supper feed, its grog or mead
Cause thine dowry didnt giveth thee daub
So for the barm and bullace, I leave beggars in the barrow
Word to vassal, Im Man-at-arms
Crazier than a fief of mad castle guards
When they breach thy vaults, heathens fly from catapults
Im all that and a jesters hat, where the shillings at?

Give me the lute. Give me the lute.
Give me the lute. Give me the lute.

Big up, big up, tis a stick up, stick up
And Im spearing squires quicker than a hiccup
Dont let my double axe up in your loin and cod piece
Order of gold fleece, neither pax nor peace
Youre talking to the thievery sokeman
Step into your pyre with thy blood on my robe
Dont be a boob and get slashed over being resistant
Cause when I pierce chains the knights need assistance

Goodness, gracious, the taxes
Where the marks at? Where the larks at?
Villein, hark that before you get your head dropped
From the hood fop, bloody guillotine-chop
And my main Yeoman has an itchy sword grip

One on his back, double-edged with a hilt
Feudal sheriffs better strip, yeah, justice, peel
Before you find out how broadswords feel

From the war hammer, putting all the holes in your scabbard
The shilling grabber, feudal stewards dont have better
Crescent circlets, tiaras and brooches
Im pilfering goblets, Henry V couldnt stop it

Man, Marshals come through Im taking regal crest rings too
Wenches defrock for their earrings and buckles
And when I turn her and hurt her it’s ending up in murder
And if shes a witch then, burn her, burn her, burn her

So go get your bailiff, wench, he can get robbed too
Tell him serfs took it, what decree’s he gonna doom?

I pray apologetic or I will have to set it
And if I set it, the village idiot wont forget it

Give me the lute. Give me the lute.
Give me the lute. Give me the lute.

Knight listen, gallivantings wearing thy feet
But Maiden looks sweet (wheres that?) inside the castle keep

Servi, grab him by the throat, toss him in the moat
And if he bellows mercy, make haste or its the halimote
Hold up, hes got a princess in the carriage car
Silk, jewels and gown-dressed, she thinks shes the Queen of all

Oh, allow me to grab her, then Im gonna stab her
hit her with the rapier

Be still, Earl let me do that
Just grab the steads mane and gallop round the leet
Her heinous acts scared, cesspit shell sleep
(My liege, the law!) be still, friend, they will not approach us men
Just want to tax again
(So whys their gaze yet affixed?) I guess to ride the River Styx
Returned from a bludgeon, not trying to see another dungeon
Oh, great, they hue and crying my face
You best ride quick, we start equestrian chase
So latch up your boots for Im about to shoot
A true rogue minstrel going out for the lute

  48. [..YouTube..] honestly even though im a really hufe biggie fan i like ur parody, its pretty funny, but this better be the last time u diss a legend like biggie, diss someone like taio cruz or soulja boy, dont disgrace a rap legend

  49. [..YouTube..] BURNHERBURNHERBURNHER

  50. [..YouTube..] @WordIRunTheseStreets lol… what made you think they were dissing him? parodys are not necessarily dissing anyone. This is in no way a diss and I don’t how you possibly even saw it that way.

    [..YouTube..] @KEANE1967 Why would you say that. You think we never looked at Robin Hood, king Arther, and other period movies?! No all we do is sit around and play new rap song. Dont you think we have access to the same media that you do Dont you think we grew up looking at the same shows you did. Some of you think we are so different from you. That where racisms comes from, people like you.

  139. Asgar16926 says:

    [..YouTube..] @rexboogie exactly. the only way to truly get rid of racism is too view everyone in exactly the same way

    [..YouTube..] I created an account just to comment on this video. “Gimme the Loot” by Notorious B.I.G. isn’t a song everyone is going to like, but if you know the song you’ll be able to follow the rhythm of this song. This YouTube video is absolutely brilliant and this must have taken awhile to put all of this together. One of the best things I’ve ever seen on YouTube. Great job.

  144. GJRefill says:

    [..YouTube..] I know one of the movies featured in this video is the 1922 version of “Robin Hood” with Douglas Fairbanks, but what is/are the other movie(s)?

  145. xlaFax says:

    [..YouTube..] Absolutely right! lmfaooooo

  146. panzercat39 says:

    [..YouTube..] this needs at least a million views

  148. ThaGanjaGirl says:

    [..YouTube..] Who´s satchel is feeling kinda tight.

  149. DarkPharaoh1 says:

    [..YouTube..] this was cool

  150. jaydekk says:

    [..YouTube..] I laughed so hard when 2:43′s verse showed up hahaa
