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

[..YouTube..] Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Knowing the original front to back makes this even 10x more impressive. Genius. Props!
[..YouTube..] I’m stunned that the most creative, intelligent and funny video on Youtube has so little views. And I really mean that, this is absolutely astonishing
[..YouTube..] That was more of a remix than a parody
[..YouTube..] Classic …nicely done
[..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
[..YouTube..] BURNHERBURNHERBURNHER
[..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..] @KevinLieber the rough sound kinda goes with it i think
[..YouTube..] AHHH this is really funny!!!! THEN THY BREATH, IS WASTED UPON THEE!!!!!!haha
[..YouTube..] @WordIRunTheseStreets If anything, this is just giving biggie more cred. Saying he ran shit like robin hood almost.
[..YouTube..] @VALsacount2 its the lyrics from gimme the loot in medieval speak
[..YouTube..] my jaw has yet to lift itself from the keyboard.

[..YouTube..] Fuck all of you.. This song aint shit and its mad disrespect to biggie.
[..YouTube..] pretty impressive
[..YouTube..] ABSO-FUCKEN HILARIOUSCREATOR OF THIS VIDEO = GENIUS
[..YouTube..] I don’t think this is disrespectful. They have to listen to a shit load of Biggie to make it this smooth. Good Job!RIP BIG
[..YouTube..] OMG, tooooo funny!!! Great job, whoever u are!!!!
)
[..YouTube..] so if this is disrespect to biggie then i guess when puff daddy sampled kashmir and jay z sampled everyone of his songs that wasnt disrespect
[..YouTube..] FUCK you and FUCK anyone who thinks this is funny Biggie is the best rapper to ever step foot on this earth who ever you are you need to get your ass beat
[..YouTube..] @permasmile1995 it’s comedy he’s not dissing he’s just making a joke.
[..YouTube..] Props to you guys. This shit is crucial. Haha. Very Nice.
[..YouTube..] @permasmile1995 easy tiny
[..YouTube..] I’m stunned. I’m lost for thought
[..YouTube..] 1:18 that girl gets jacked up
[..YouTube..] I loved this!
[..YouTube..] only white people that like biggie will be able to see the funny side I THINK haha
[..YouTube..] @KEANE1967 Ah yes, it is impossible for any non whites to know medieval history.
[..YouTube..] @permasmile1995 God damn, do you take everything this seriously?
[..YouTube..] runescape?
[..YouTube..] Nice!
[..YouTube..] thumbs up for burning witches!
[..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.
[..YouTube..] @rexboogie exactly. the only way to truly get rid of racism is too view everyone in exactly the same way
[..YouTube..] Harold Camping was RIGHT about May 21, click on my channel to see…
[..YouTube..] haha i thought this was gonna be reterted but it was actually pretty good
[..YouTube..] FUGGIN GENIUS
[..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.
[..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)?
[..YouTube..] Absolutely right! lmfaooooo
[..YouTube..] and ifs shes a witch,burn her,burn her,burn her! thats just to fucking funny,nice work gents.
[..YouTube..] this needs at least a million views
[..YouTube..] Who´s satchel is feeling kinda tight.
[..YouTube..] this was cool
[..YouTube..] I laughed so hard when 2:43′s verse showed up hahaa
[..YouTube..] This is fucking genius, absolutely genius.
[..YouTube..] Where the shillings at!!!
[..YouTube..] 21 village idiots.
