This parody, which draws on
another Whitney Avalon creation, imagines a competition between two of
Shakespeare’s most devious villains. (The inspiration can be found here)
Iago:
I’m Iago don’t you know, I’m so
evil, that’s how I roll
Got a sick flow – gonna come out on the top in this fight
No bite and no might, unless we’re all asleep at night
When it comes to battles you’re the one whose weight’s light
Delusions of grandeur that’s what led you down your path
Shoulda seen you were headed for an early bath
You played your best shot, but you lost the lot
Couldn’t compete with what your brother had got
The lesser of two evils? It’s clear that is you
You enjoy telling lies but you know it’s true
You must be mad to take me on, it won’t be long until you’re gone
Facing you - it makes me yawn. Come on – you know I’ve won!
Antonio:

Antonio:
Please - you are no trouble you
don’t even struggle
When you are caught and left with naught - watch your dreams burst like a bubble
I’ll beat this ancient man, and his useless revenge plan
Who thinks he’s so smart with his devious heart
Just a false start, couldn’t bring home the bacon
Thought that you beat them but they saw you were fakin’
How does it help you more to cause such blood and gore?
Your plan was so poor, could see defeat was in store
You were beat before, when that noble Moor
Chose somebody else and it left you feeling raw
Just a cat’s paw - howe’er loud you roar. Don’t look know but you lost the war!

Iago:
I’ll school you in
statesmanship, you puny pathetic drip
Watch now as your ass I’ll whip. You’ve got no grip - you know you’ll slip
You don’t make me mad, ‘cause you are just a fad
Can’t deny it, can’t defy it, and I think that you should be glad
You’d no chance lad, too bad, so sad
Could beat you any day – Tony, you are the weaker cad
Now the master is near, I can see you’re full of fear
‘Cause you cannot compete with the best man here!

Antonio:
Best man? No! Not even close
It doesn’t make you better just ‘cause you are more verbose
I got the Dukedom. Knew my time had come
My brother was done. Soon had him on the run
Your brains have gone all numb - go and suck on your thumb
The fact you think you’re better just proves that you are so dumb
A washed-up useless bum that’s what you’ve become
The one who survived! Whose hopes are gone.

Iago:
The difference between you
and me is you’re grand but I’m street-wise
You take on Iago you’re in for a surprise
It’s like you can’t see the truth - you’re oblivious
You think you’re winning? That’s so hilarious
I’m the best, beat the rest, no contest, you’re so distressed
No jest and the outcome of your plan could be guessed
I’m sorry, your Grace, but I think you will find
Prospero is back and he has soundly kicked your behind
You take on Iago you’re in for a surprise

Antonio:
I still have some standing, in
with the king, I’m still living
It’s a wonder you’re still talking when you’re
expiring.
The planning, the scheming, it was all just a flop
And now thanks to you Cassio came out on top
At least I tasted power and all the goods that come along with it
Something only guessed at by a poor jealous halfwit
You tried the very best that you could, now your defeat must be understood
Next time round I think that you should take the hit, and do us good
