Blackbeard's Treasure

Lyrics

I was sipping on rum down in Old Havana
 relaxing, just kicking it under the cabana
 When this old man walks up, scurvy as can be
 taps me on the shoulder, and he points to the sea
 "Pardon me sir, are you the Captain Dan?"
 "I'm a sailor no more, cause I live on the land"
 "But this map I have points to perilous pleasure
 the long lost chest containing Blackbeard's treasure"
 "You're the worst liar amongst the scurvy knaves
 That treasure's been swallowed by the ocean waves
 A storm took that booty in its undertow"
 "Ah Captain D that is surely not so."
 "Well then" I say, "What is your fee?
 Or should I just kill you and take it for free?
 Just give me that map, let me have a look"
 "Unhand me at once you rotten crook!"
 I'm a bilgerat maties, I'm a serious sailor,
 I don't need two hands just to rob from my neighbor
 Hittin' you with rhymes like a nine tailed cat
 We're off to seek and dig where the treasure is at
 Black Beard's Gold is all that we seek
 We plunder and we steal from the old and the meek
 Dropping phat rhymes every day of the week
 We're the only rap crew with buccaneer technique
 "Now this is a joke that doesn't make me laugh
 You call this a map? But where's the other half?
 Give me a name, put me on the path
 Tell me right now or you'll be feeling my wrath"
 "It's in the possession of the pirate Corsair
 He's gone to the Keys from the port of Le'bare
 His ship's been wounded and is headed for repair
 If you set sail you'll catch him unaware."
 So we find Corsair and his wounded galleon
 Strike your colors so we can board you rapscallion!
 The flags go down 'cause he knows he's outgunned
 So onto his ship and we begin the fun
 "Give me the map" I scream at corsair,
 Put my gun to his nose, and wave my hook in the air
 "Never you dog, that's enough with this prank."
 So we tie him up in knots and make him walk the plank.
 Before he goes over, a spark lights his eye
 "I have the map, here, I don't want to die."
 I take the map and review it with glee
 And then push him overboard out into the sea
 We plunder their booty, and scuttle the ship
 Who wants a galleon that's been beat by a whip?
 The map was complete, who cares what we did
 We set sail for the x where the treasure is hid
 Three days travel to mouth of the cave
 The skies all darken, not a single wave
 In waters only sailed by the dumb or the brave
 In pursuit of the riches that we dare to crave
 Blackbeard's chest! it was sitting right there
 A mountain of gold in the open air
 I was just so focused then on what I'd be worth
 I didn't notice a rumble under the earth
 I'm a bilgerat maties, I'm a serious sailor,
 I don't need two hands just to rob from my neighbor
 Hittin' you with rhymes like a nine tailed cat
 We're off to seek and dig where the treasure is at
 Black Beard's Gold is all that we seek
 We plunder and we steal from the old and the meek
 Dropping phat rhymes every day of the week
 We're the only rap crew with buccaneer technique
 What the hell is this? a dragon! blast!
 Better call all the maties over here really fast
 It went something like this- The dragon was pissed
 And ate all my sailors in the flick of a wrist
 With a metallic crash, the PD10 apeared
 I'm sorry but the plot here gets kinda wierd
 See I've drank so much rum since this story begun
 I forgot what happened at the end of the run.
 Oh yes I remember, the dragon was slain,
 The robots laser shot and splattered his brains!
 I took all the loot, and shot back to my ship,
 Went back to Havana and chilled for a bit.
 I'm a bilgerat maties, I'm a serious sailor,
 I don't need two hands just to rob from my neighbor
 Hittin' you with rhymes like a nine tailed cat
 We're off to seek and dig where the treasure is at
 Black Beard's Gold is all that we seek
 We plunder and we steal from the old and the meek
 Dropping phat rhymes every day of the week
 We're the only rap crew with buccaneer technique
