Quotes

"Not because I loved Caesar less, but Rome more"

This quote basically is saying that Brutus loved and cared for Caesar, but he killed him for the better of Rome. So he didn't kill him out of hatred, just for the better of society

"Et tu, Brute?"

Caesar is wounded and notices that Brutus is stabbing him; he's become a conspirator. This means that he was pretty much turning around and was like, "Really, Brutus? You too? My best friend?"

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him"

This one is saying how he loved Caesar, but he's not here to put him up on a pedestal. He's here just for one purpose only; to get this funeral over & done with.

Lyrics

Ten million stories in the city
Ten million backs against the wall
Desperation's out tonight
You can cut it with a knife
Everybody wants to have it all
Well they tell you that the world is rough
But they never rocked it hard enough

[Chorus]
Hey little Caesar
Nobody messing with you
Hey little Caesar
Go show 'em what you can do

[Verse]
Nobody said that it was pretty
You haven't got a penny or a prayer
You know it's gonna be a fight
If you wanna see your name in lights
Ain't nobody gives a damn out there
Well you got your guts, you got your pride
But you'll never let them see inside

[Chorus]

[Spoken]
Well you don't believe in the books and rules
'Cause you just believe in what you know is cool
Well they tell you that the world is rough
But they never rocked it hard enough
I can't hear you!

They just don't understand
You gotta fight to be a man

[Chorus]

Hey little Caesar
Oh yeah, that's what it is
Hey little Caesar
Yeah
