[INTRO]

Yo, why Ms. Jenkins assignin’ this crusty Shakespeare crap?
“Double double toil and—” bruh. This ain’t lit, it’s a nap.

Aight, chill—peep this. Dude was OG trap.
Witches stirrin’ cauldrons, curses… man, this hard!

Hold up… Fire burn, cauldron bubble?
Yo, that’s just cookin’ dope with extra blood-stubble!

“…The Three Witches symbolize unchecked ambition—”

Nah, they symbolizin’ gettin’ bands! Macbeth’s a snitch—
Witches droppin’ hellfire beats, son! Let’s switch!

Shakespeare wildin’! Yo, drop the bass—
We ’bout to make this Macbeth play look like a RAVE.

Double double… TRAP TROUBLE.

"Yo... the shadows talkin’... Macbeth mob creepin’... turn this cauldron up."

[HOOK]
Double double, trap bubble
Fire burn, we cookin' trouble
Ain’t no love in this hood voodoo
Whip the curse, yeah, we stir the stew!

[VERSE 1]
Circle the pot, flames high
Tossin’ poison guts, we don’t lie
Cold-blooded toad, 31 nights—
Venom sleepin’? Nah, we sparkin’ fights!
Bubble first, then the charm crackles
Black magic grams—we slangin’ spells, no taxes!

[PRE-HOOK]
Double double, trap bubble
Fire burn, we cookin' trouble

[VERSE 2]
Fenny snake fillet, bake it crispy
Newt eye shot, frog leg twist me
Bat wool coat, dog tongue slick
Add a blindworm’s sting— this broth’s sick!
Hell’s kitchen, we the chefs, no cap
Serve a plague soufflé, clap ya trap!

[HOOK]
Double double, trap bubble
Fire burn, we cookin' trouble
Ain’t no love in this hood voodoo
Whip the curse, yeah, we stir the stew!

[BRIDGE]
Dragon scale bling, wolf tooth grill
Shark guts, hemlock—brew a kill
Yew tree slivers, moon eclipse liquor
Turk’s nose, babe’s finger—mix it quicker!

Tiger entrails, blood drizzle…
This the OG trap— Ain’t no riddle!

[VERSE 3]
Baboon blood cools it, charm locked
Three-six gang, we clockin’ the block
Macbeth’s nightmare, we the trend
Cursed beats drop— World ends.

Shakespeare wildin’! Yo, drop the bass—
This Macbeth play look like a RAVE.

[OUTRO]
"Hah… burn, baby, burn…"

Bubble (Macbeth by Shakespeare)

Lady Macbeth

Lady Macbeth' is a song that I wrote in 1995 that draws a very direct parallel between Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' and the supremely cruel leading lady whose toxicity perfectly evoked a certain ex-girlfriend who haunted my early 20s.

It was a song that I originally recorded in 1996 with my band, Grannyflat. The relevance of this being that I was able to use a platform called LALAL.ai to separate the musical stems so as to access the horn lines and lead vocal. What this can do runs dizzy rings around Izotope's 'Music Rebalance'. 

And while I'd only been hoping to better hear what was going on with those aspects of the arrangement so I could recreate it - I realised it was so clean that I'd be able to actually use it. True black magic. The horn lines were written and performed by my old sax and trumpet players, Nick Lester and Declan Jones.

Of course the original was never recorded with a click track so even though I used a tempo app to work out the overall bpm (which was 116), the track still swam all over the place.

To that end I was able to 'liquify' the audio for the horn lines and lead vocal, and re-sculpt them into place using Logic's Monophonic Flex Mode. A second kind of black magic. This kind of tech used to generate horrible audible artefacts. Not anymore.

The rest of the arrangement is brand new and to that end I played everything else on it. From my old butterscotch Fender Strat, to an amazing blonde headless bass of indeterminate origin. Despite having an original Fender Rhodes (Mark 1 Seventy Three) in my studio, I used a Rhodes Mark 1 from the new official 'Rhodes Anthology' from Rhodes which is an amazing collection. Some clav from Spectrasonics Keyscape, and some B3 and Moog from Universal Audio and it was done.

Hope you enjoy it.

Here are the lyrics >

Lady Macbeth
Words & Music by:

© Copyright 11 August 1995

Intro

Verse 01		

Just like Lady Macbeth you
You brought about the death of
Something I thought was quite precious

Verse 02		

Your hands are stained with blood
You, ‘Out Damned Spot’, it won’t help you
You’ve turned into something quite vicious


Chorus
		
So what did I do 
That made you turn so sour
That made you so top full	
Dripping with the milk
Of human unkindness
What made you so God-damned cruel

Verse 03
		
Just like Lady Macbeth you
Got daggers on your breath you
Like to make the cauldron bubble

Verse 04
		
Am I thou naughty knave, am
Am I thou dying slave, am
Am I your permanent stubble 

Chorus

Bridge	
	
‘Fair is foul and foul is fair’
I should, ‘dispute it like a man'
‘All the perfumes of Arabia could not sweeten this little hand’
’Double, double toil and trouble’
‘Why do you dress in borrowed robes’
‘Out brief candle’
‘Let not light see my dark and deep desires’

Verse 05
		
Just like Lady Macbeth, you
You swooped down in one foul breath
And over leaped your vile ambition

Verse 06	

Once I was your Macbeth, your
Your Thane, your mirror reign, now
I’m quoting Shakespeare from my kitchen

Chorus

Lady Macbeth (2025)

My podcast - which explores the saying 'Power Corrupts' - dissects why society labels ambitious women like Lady Macbeth as "monsters," while men with the same traits are called "complex," revealing how power is distorted by gender bias.

Power Corrupts (But Only for Women?)

Founded February 23, 1983 by 12 dedicated members with the aim of REACHING EDUCATION TO SIGHTLESS CITIZENS. 
1983-2010 Education Empowerment Project Interaction with Blind persons & their families,
 acquiring & distributing educational aids
1985-2013 Talking Book Project Recording audio books for Blind in cassettes
1989-2013 Braille Transcription & production Project by sighted volunteers. 
1989-2001 Likeskill Training through Adventure sports; mountaineering for the Blind at HMI, Darjeeling.

In 1989 the first step was worked out with the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, Darjeeling under the Ministry of Defence, Government of India and the Indian Mountaineering Foundation, 
New Delhi, to mainstream Persons with Low Vision, Vision Impairment and total Blindness by imparting Life-skill training through Adventure Program such as Rock-climbing, Mountaineering and high-altitude treks upto Dzongri 13000ft in the West Sikkim. This course covered Blind young men and women joining from different parts of India, making it the first organized mountaineering training of the Blind in the world. This annual course continued till 2001 when SVH opted for Nature Study Camps for rural Blind children to comply with budgetary constraints.

1989 onwards volunteers began recording audio books for Blind students and giving live readers’ and writers’ service to Blind students pursuing higher education within West Bengal.

15 September 1996 on behalf of the Library Ministry, Government of West Bengal, Amitava Bose, Chief Librarian, State Central Library West Bengal, an apex Library of the State Government, invited the Society to open and manage a Braille & Talking Book Library in their newly constructed Library building at Kankurgachi on PPP model where the space and infrastructure were extended by the Government while SVH raised funds to manage expenses and investment cost of this unit with the help of volunteers who worked hard to meet with limited resources academic demand of students.

1996-2010 SVH has been tagged by Government, non-Government, private organizations, special schools for the Blind and special educators serving the cause without sufficient knowledge and appropriate aids and appliances for the Blind to share resources and expertise to bring a qualitative change in lives of Blind people. In 2010 The Hans Foundation contacted SVH as a God-send source of support and since then there was no looking back. We work hard to fulfill our passion “REACH EDUCATION TO SIGHTLESS CITIZENS.”

Over the years many new volunteers, some of them are trained special educators, have joined and we chose to pay them cost of job depending on the provisions in the Grant. Our friends and wellwishers continue to support us with their modest contributions in cash and kind which forms our General Fund to enable us to manage some special expenses for our Blind beneficiaries.
