Better than Flocab?

Have any students who listen to one of our songs and say, “not bad, but I could do better”? Well, three such students at Lindenwold High School in New Jersey heard “Three Times,” our version of Marc Antony’s famous speech in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and decided to take the challenge. So Booshon, John, and Kyle spent a weekend writing and recording their version of the famous speech. The result is pretty incredible. Lyrics:

Friends, lend me your ear for a quick minute!

Romans, lend me your ear for a quick minute!

Countrymen, lend me your ear for a quick minute!

I got something to say, I need a quick minute!

(Repeat x2)

K.T. verse:

Lend me your ear for a quick minute;

I come to bury J.Ceasar no praise given.

Brutus said he was filled with much ambition;

Therefore, he deserved such a brutal killing.

People always staying focused on the bad things,

like forget the good and that a real shame.

They’re tryna play Caesar but it really ain’t a game.

They just decided that he was the perfect one to blame.

Brutus really when and lied on his best friend,

As a result Caesar’s life hit a dead end.

So tell me how in the world can we respect them,

If they expect to save Rome with a death wish.

Don’t get me wrong they are allowing me to speak now, and so I speak out for the deceased now.

I mean, since he’s gone whose gona lead now?

I guess Brutus cuz he’s happy as can be now.

Sike, he knows the truth about J.C.

When people cried and struggled, he felt the same thing.

You all loved him once and Brutus mainly.

That’s why to me, it just seems so crazy.

DJ Suppa verse:

Spittin’ the ether, I come to bury the Caesar

The good interred with the bones, so let it be with the Caesar,

The noble Brutus told you Caesar was ambitious and,

It was a grievous fault and Caesar went and answered it,

Under the leave of Brutus, for he’s a man of honor,

He was a friend of me, so I’m gonna be his sponsor,

There was ambition when Caesar brought the soldiers back,

He brought the poor up from the bottom so he cut em’ slack,

So let me bring it back I ain’t dissin’ Brutus but,

Imam speak about the present I’m gonna tell you what,

You used to show him love, you didn’t need a reason,

And now you hatin’ him, the Senate stopped his breathing,

Three times I presented the crown and,

Three times Caesar turned it down uhh,

A bunch of animals never will you mourn for him,

I must pause now cause my patience wearin’ thin.

Friends, lend me your ears for a quick minute,

Romans, lend me your ears for a quick minute,

Countrymen, lend me your ears for a quick minute,

I got something to say I need a quick minute.

(Repeat x2)

Booshon verse:

No praise when I’m puttin’ Caesar in the ground.

The evil lives after them you can ask around.

The good interred with the bones let it be with Caesar.

Ambitious was the king so he was a people pleaser.

Brought him down to his knees Caesar paid his fees.

Senate took him out the game said he was a tease.

On Ides of month three you can plainly see

Brutus had the honor serving Rome faithfully.

Funeral music for the king of the Rome

He was ambitious; he was holding his own.

He brought back many of the lost ones

Who lost some, back to the Romans’ misfortune.

And you saw the same day at the Lupercal

Caesar turned down the crown with a stupid smile.

All for nothing people loved Cease without a cause.

My heart froze with him so I’ll take a slight pause.
