Rime of the Hip Hop Mariners

Rimes of the Hip Hop Mariners

The albatross? Oh the albatross!
Pirates hate the cost, when that bird was lost
Now I tell this tale so it won't be forgot
That these rhymes so hot
They could kill on the spot
I pass like night from land to land
I have strange power of speech
And from the sea or sand
If ya hear this beat, you'll lie dead on the beach

Now I be that hip hop mariner, these tales and rhymes I spit
If you permit, I must admit, how I killed all aboard me ship
We set sail by day, toward that southerly way
With them wind and waves, nothing kept us at bay
The line was crossed toward that land of frost
And when all was lost, we saw that albatross

Through the frozen mist we did persist
To follow that bird, to the turn we missed
When there was nowhere to go I started shooting them rhymes
They flew from me life, like a lead out of nines

The albatross? Oh the albatross!
Pirates hate the cost, when that bird was lost
Now I tell this tale so it won't be forgot
That these rhymes so hot
They could kill on the spot
I pass like night from land to land
I have strange power of speech
And from the sea or sand
If ya hear this beat, you'll lie dead on the beach

Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink!
Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink!
Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink!
Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink!

When I saw the albatross drop, I was pissed
It was like a warning shot, but it didn't miss
Then it got warm, so there's no crime to blame
That was until the ghost ship came
On board was death and a lady shootin dice
Death won the roll for my soul, oh nice!
Tried to sneak away, but I just didn't work
So I flipped off the captain, "Great job ya jerk."
Now I'm a zombie, curse in my eyes
No turning back from the black in the skies
Me die easy? You're off your rocker
I too mean for Davy Jones locker

Listen up boy, or your life is lost!
This is why ya don't kill the albatross
I will survive and I will not fail
I'll be the first dead man who can tell my tale

The albatross? Oh the albatross!
Pirates hate the cost, when that bird was lost
Now I tell this tale so it won't be forgot
That these rhymes so hot
They could kill on the spot
I pass like night from land to land
I have strange power of speech
And from the sea or sand
If ya hear this beat, you'll lie dead on the beach

We drove, we stirred, we all uprised, despite our demise
When demon moved our eyes, strange to see the dead men rise
We were a ghastly crew with jobs to do
Keep the sails filled though no breeze up blew
Then at dawn, our souls ascended
Saved with the fate that Cap D had descended
He had to pay cummins for what he had done
Lose a cursed rhyme or order he the loaded gun
For his sin, he begs the Hermit to shrieve him
Once forgiven he begins to grieve the firing pin

The Glock clicks
When it comes to thievery
Captain Dan never quits

The albatross? Oh the albatross!
Pirates hate the cost, when that bird was lost
Now I tell this tale so it won't be forgot
That these rhymes so hot
They could kill on the spot
I pass like night from land to land
I have strange power of speech
And from the sea or sand
If ya hear this beat, you'll lie dead on the beach
