Shakespeare Rap Battle - Richard III vs Macbeth

My third rap parody inspired by the brilliant Princess Rap Battles created by Whitney Avalon (the inspiration for this one can be found here). 

Princess Rap Battle – Maleficent vs Daenerys Shakespeare Rap Battle – Richard III vs Macbeth

[RICHARD III]
No doubt made the best of a bad situation
Was quite distressed to not receive at least an invitation
To my nephew’s coronation: Became their own ruination
And it wasn’t long before I ruled over the whole nation

[MACBETH]
I am Macbeth Findlaích, First of My Line
You can call me Your Majesty - that will be fine       ,
You’re insane bringing battle, you know I cannot be beat?
By challenging me you are heading for defeat

[RICHARD III]
You know, I am so impressed by all the carnage that you wreak
But think you should know you’re on a losing streak
Having killed the king, you then killed your dearest friend
Then learnt that your darling wife had just gone right round the bend
Well, at least you tried. For what that was worth
Cannot compete with me - the baddest on earth
Medieval evil who is regal, I’m tyrannical as well     
Evilest royalist who’s killin’ - dispatching my rivals to Hell

[MACBETH]
Oh, whatever King Dicky, you think you’re so bad?
You’re an Old English softy: you are really just sad
And what’s your obsession with those two young boys?
Even in my time that’s some question’ble joys
You can say that they are bastards as much as you like
But not everyone will believe that hype
And think that I stand no chance well you just wait
My reign was prophesised. And you can’t argue with fate

[RICHARD III]
You believe those witches? This is worse than I thought
You’d better start running for the hills before you get caught
You think you are immortal? That’s crazy. So cute
But you can’t pick out which bits of the prophecy suit
Think you’re so scary when you’re forced into carryin’
The weight of the crown and then you’re losin’ your honey then
You’ve no heir to carry on this forlorn path you started on
Before you know it you are gone and there’s nothing left but your swansong

[MACBETH]
Think you’re so powerful but not what you seem:
What kind of great tyrant gets destroyed by a dream?
Think you’ve loyal subjects? Take another look, Dick
They’re not. They’re just pretending. It’s all a trick
It’s over, death is what your fate will bring
Here’s the thing know this king is ending got nothing          
My course was predestined – something I could not stop
I started as a mere Thane and I ended on top

[RICHARD III]
You think that was bad? It’s not even close
I killed my kin for what I want most
You think you have won, but you’ll soon crash and burn
Want to know how it’s done just watch and learn

[MACBETH]
I’m The Ruler of Scotland, you can’t teach me!
I am the best - it’s my destiny
So back off my throne, ‘cause that vacancy’s filled

Or you’ll scream when you die like the last king I killed
