Rap - Iris Cleopatra pt. 1 by Cast of the Cleopatra Experience Lyrics
CLEOPATRA:
Iris, grab your pens and your papyrus
Our work is far from done
IRIS:
But the party’s just begun, your Highness
CLEOPATRA:
And since when did I forget how to multi-task?
You condescend me again, you better watch your ass
IRIS:
I’m sorry, my Queen, you know I don’t mean to slack
But if there ever were a time to just enjoy and kick back
CLEOPATRA:
When the festival starts do I stop ruling Egypt?
IRIS:
No
CLEOPATRA:
I want a threat assessment now that Rome is defeated
IRIS:
So you don’t think we’re safe now that Marc Antony is leading?
CLEOPATRA:
I’m saying one day yours is the advice that we’ll be needing
Marc and I are easily unbeatable together
But it’s hard to guarantee we’ll be in charge of this forever
IRIS:
But he’s loyal and he’s smart
And I know that must be why you picked him
‘Cause I know you know it’s obvious
He’s not a real Egyptian
CLEOPATRA:
So beautiful, dear, but you’re so indiscreet
Be undutiful, dear, I’ll send you back to the street
IRIS:
I’ve no manners, my Queen
The street teaches none
CLEOPATRA:
Well, it seems that you’re here
You better find yourself some
The war may feel done, but your role’s just begun
I’ve a lot to teach you and a country to run
IRIS:
I thank you, my Queen, but we won
Iris, grab your pens and your papyrus
Our work is far from done
IRIS:
But the party’s just begun, your Highness
CLEOPATRA:
And since when did I forget how to multi-task?
You condescend me again, you better watch your ass
IRIS:
I’m sorry, my Queen, you know I don’t mean to slack
But if there ever were a time to just enjoy and kick back
CLEOPATRA:
