Big Metal Shoe (feat. Casey Lee Williams & Lamar Hall) by Jeff Williams with Lyrics 

I never thought nursery rhymes could make me wanna kick someone's ass until I heard this song 😅

The rap is so sick like, all the references. My mind can't handle it Also the fact it was done in the span of 20 seconds

“Check you out in your Big Metal Shoe” - There Was An Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe “This little Riding Hood’s just way too rad” - Little Red Riding Hood “Mirror mirror, who will lose it all?” - Snow White “‘Cause I’m alive / Like a puppet with a heartbeat” - Pinocchio “Like a house made of straw” - The Three Little Pigs “No one’s putting you together again” - Humpty Dumpty “Best get nimble and you better be quick” - Jack Be Nimble “Or I’m gonna break your bones with some stones and sticks” - Sticks And Stones “Run, run, run, run, just as fast as you can” - The Gingerbread Man “You better make a wish like a fisherman” - The Fisherman And His Wife “Sparring in glass slippers and you’re bound to break your crown” - Cinderella “And I’m just right / Like a porridge at a nice heat” - Goldilocks And The Three Bears “Gonna get popped / Like a weasel ‘til you retreat” - Pop Goes The Weasel “The sky is gonna fall / You’ll be feeling the pain” - Henny Penny “You would be great and terrible / But only if you had a brain” - The Wizard Of Oz “Hickory dickory, flawless victory” - Hickory Dickory Dock “Caught your tail like the three blind mice” - Three Blind Mice “Ring around the rosie, you can’t oppose me” - Ring A Ring O’ Roses “Your star won’t twinkle, squeezed to a wrinkle” - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star “London Bridge is down, you can’t make a sound” - London Bridge Is Falling Down “The wheels on the bus have just been crushed” - The Wheels On The Bus “Eeny meeny mi, time for you to die” - Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Mo Your welcome

Lamar gets faster with each volume and it's getting harder to sing along

Holy shit! I'm a huge fairy tale nerd, and one of my absolute favourite ones is the one about the Old Fisherman. It represents Cordovin pretty well, in a way - keep wishing for greater and greater things, and you'll end up with nothing. It's a tale that embraces humility and being satisfied with the kindness that others are generous enough to offer.

This song is awesomeness because of how many fairytale references it has. I’ll try to count

We need a project with all four singers for vol 9. I'd really enjoy hearing a song with Casey, Jeff, Sandra, and Lamar.

She said: "Hear that cordo?" *crunches loudly* "that's the sound of me not caring"

Honestly, at this point I'm just waiting for you to finish the last couple of videos so I can binge them all... on repeat... for days... not to mention that react that I'm excited to see what you do with Indomitable (or the fact that I need another good cry with that song and I'm holding out for your video) and Forever Fall (or the fact that I just need to have a good cry work this song as it's yet to happen). Awesome job! The video is amazing!

The answer to the question, "What if we wanted to turn all the nursery rhymes into a single diss track?"

I think lady in a shoe might be my favorite fairytale

this song portrays her perfectly the beginning is FYAA

RULES OF NATURE! Oh wait, wrong thing.

Best description of RWBY I’ve heard: If fairy tales were an anime with rock blaring in the background.

Rap part: Pop goes the weasel, time to defeat you Hickory dickory, flawless victory Caught your tail like the three blind mice Better listen up, not saying it twice Ring around the rosie, you can't oppose me I'll let you know now, I'm gonna take you down You're gonna meet your end of this play Yo, no more pretending, you'll fall in pain Your star won't twinkle, squeezed to a wrinkle Bloody up the scene, a nightmarish fiend London Bridge is down, you can't make a sound The wheels on the bus have just been crushed Eeny meeny mi, time for you to die Catch you by the toe, never letting go Note to the grave, it's your last day A, B, C, D, you can't see me

You know this kind of sounds really fatalistic when you think about it is Cordovin gonna be okay

Now this boss music. One Thing may be great but this is more boss muclsic

Nora: oh yeah?! Well you base looks like a big dumb boot!!! Jeff: oh yeah.........

Criminally underrated

Its called big metal shoe, but it just kind of goes through a bunch of other nursury rhyme. Like. mirror mirror who will lose it all fits because mirror mirror is related to one of the characters. I think the song would be better if it used more of the stories related to the characters involved rather than. or even if it was just a more focused character song on cordovin. I guess part of it is because im used to rwby songs being blunt or always directly being about someone or something, but this was just references for the sake of it. Maybe if cordovin was a mish mash of a bunch of differnt fairy tales and nursury rhymes and alot more crazy this would work, but she'd pretty deciplined despite her single bad jusgement of using a full mech against these children.

The first gigantic robo in rwby

*A-B-C-D you can't see me*

I manage to sing along until half way point.

This would work really well for a Transformers edit/AMV

It took me so damn long to be able to keep up with lamar, but dammit I managed to do it and I feel proud about it! *Like please dont get any faster in the next volume dude I dont want to take a year to learn to sing a song I really like*

Lullaby’s never made me so scared

Common Jeff you couldn’t have snuck in a Beauty and the Beast reference for Blake?

References in this song (if there are any missing bits you know, please tell me): Pop Goes the Weasel (that little bit at the start. Admit it, you sang the words to it at least once or twice in your head) VERSE 1 The Old Lady who lived in a Shoe (yeah that's the inspiration for Cordovin. The next line continues this reference, with Cordovin FIGHTING a ton of kids with her boot-mech, as compared to the Old Lady who HOUSED a lot of kids in her shoe-house) Little Red Riding Hood ('but big ain't bad' is a reference to the Big Bad Wolf, and i wonder who 'little Riding Hood' could be referring to 🤔 Snow White (Mirror, Mirror... sound familiar? oh look that rhymed) Rock-a-bye baby (lullaby) (okay next time just put the cradle somewhere where it's less likely to fall, please?) CHORUS 1 Pinocchio (yeah that sounds like a 'puppet with a heartbeat'... wait... oh no) (phrases 2 and 3, not sure of what it's referencing if anything) The Three Little Pigs (RIP the straw and wood houses, they must have looked amazing) VERSE 2 Jack be Nimble, Jack be Quick (*flashbacks to that one scene from RWBY Chibi*) (idiom) "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" (trust me, you say the right words and you could hurt anyone's feelings. no I am not encouraging that behaviour) ('Run (x4) just as fast as you can', unsure) ('You'd better make a wish like the fisherman' , also unsure) Cinderella (ashes/cinders, glass slippers...) Jack and Jill (for anyone who might not have heard this, did you know that that nursery rhyme (which has a second verse) is talking about the phases of the moon?) CHORUS 2 Goldilocks (porridge😋) The Ugly Duckling (swans are indeed beautiful) Pop Goes the Weasel (ayy they finally said it after that bit at the start) (the only thing that comes to mind for the fourth phrase is the Ancient Greek tale of Atlas holding up the sky... oh wait, Atlas...) The Wizard of Oz (Oz the Great and Terrible (oh hey Oscar didn't see you there), and the Scarecrow who wanted a brain (Qrow giving up on drinking probably helped a bit with that)) BRIDGE/RAP SOLO (yo this goes FAST) Pop Goes the Weasel Hickory Dickory Dock (that is one determined mouse) Three Blind Mice (can't remember who says they won't say it twice) Ring around the Rosie (isn't that nursery rhyme a nod to the Black Plague or something?) (here to take you down) (end in a splendour) (your fall pending) Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (aww look at all the cute stars) (nightmarish fiend) London Bridge is Falling Down The Wheels on the Bus (don't forget to change them every once in a while. Even more so recommended if they've been crushed.) Eenie, Meenie, Miney Mo that counting song about the fish that bit someone's little finger (no time to pray) The Alphabet Song and then CHORUS 1 plays again.

"Great and Terrible..." So Jeff DOES watch Epic Rap Battles of History

I think Casey Williams would have made great music For Trollhunters and these songs from vol 6 were in fact the last best Songs in RWBY R.I.P (Vol 1 to Vol 6)

Tupac has entered the chat

Honestly I'm close to being able to do the rap. There's just a couple of lines in the middle in struggling with

I thought it was fighting little kids dont know what to do....

We need a versus against Eminem

Doubt: When it says: "made of straw" is it literal? Or that's an american expression? I'm trying to translate this into Spanish but I'm stuck here.

"Fighting so many kids don't know what to do" basically fortnite

MurderofBirds: I can sing every song across all 6 RWBY soundtracks! Lamar Hall in Big Metal Shoe: I'm about to end this man's whole career!

Nothing like turning your favorite nursery rhyme into a full on rock song.

Casey's voice has come so far in 6 years. Girl can seriously melt some bones.

It just makes me think that while writing this song Jeff was just like: ok how many references can we possibly fit into one song... The answer is all of them

“Now, now! There’s still hope. Maybe she’s dead!’

I'd pay someone to scream "A-B-C-D, you can't see me."

"So what nursery rhymes do you want in the song?" " Yes. "

I forgot how crazy Lamar Hall was. Thanks for the reminder, Flynt. My mouth hates you

I just squealed like a little girl when I saw the notification pop up on my phone, I love this song so much.

sleeping* *gets a notification* *sleepily reach for the phone* *drop it* ...oops.. I'll watch it in the mor- *see FlyntofRWBY posted new* SCREW SLEEP!!!! AGAIN!!!!

Lamar and Casey: "What nursery rhyme did you want us to sing?" Jeff: *Yes*

Thank you, Flynt. You work hard to do this, no doubt. So, thanks for the time and effort.

This many references being crammed in line by line, not to mention each of them being altered to convey the message “I’m unstoppable and going to kick your ass,” coming together into an actually awesome song is quite the feat.

That moment when you finally manage to sing the whole song including Lamar Hall’s part without lagging behind or stopping to breathe *I see no god up here* *OTHER THAN ME*

Oh how nice! A music bo- *CHECK YOU OUT IN YOUR BIG METAL SHOOOOOE*

Flynt: Big Metal Shoe Lyrics . Me: Get the Speaker. The Large Speaker.

The first few seconds threw me off, not gonna lie

Possible character references that I noticed I'm alive, like a puppet with a heartbeat = Penny I'm just right, like pourage at a nice heat = Yang Sparring in glass slippers = Cinder

Dang, this and Caffeine are total badass songs... thanks for the videos, man!

The rap part is faster than my internet buffering this song

I count about 30 fairy tale references at the end, not counting the repeat of the refrain at the end. Gotta say, I'm impressed they fit that many into one song in under 3 minutes while still making them all tie back to a specific event from the show.

And this is why The Grimm Reaper is enemies with this meanie.

Ashes, ashes guess who's falling down. ...Pyrrha, obviously.

If I had a dollar for every nursery rhyme reference... I would have a lot of dollars

Rap part lyrics Pop goes the weasel, time to defeat you Hickory dickory, flawless victory Caught your tail like the three blind mice Better listen up, not saying it twice Ring around the rosie, you can't oppose me I'll let you know now, I'm gonna take you down You're gonna meet your end of this play Yo, no more pretending, you'll fall in pain Your star won't twinkle, squeezed to a wrinkle Bloody up the scene, a nightmarish fiend London Bridge is down, you can't make a sound The wheels on the bus have just been crushed Eeny meeny mi, time for you to die Catch you by the toe, never letting go Note to the grave, it's your last day A, B, C, D, you can't see me

So we thought that Caffine had a lot of coffee references in it Damn, the Williams and Lamar really go all out with these lyrics. I have to watch this several times jus to get them all

Sarcasm: that mecha looks NOTHING like a shoe. Looks like a discount Juggernaut Warforged

coming back to this song after v7 is an EXPERIENCE (spoilers below) “i’m alive, like a puppet with a heartbeat! i’m on fire, and i’m flying off the dope sheet” - penny becoming winter maiden foreshadowing “you better wind up like that robin, and make your last tweet” - robyn / clover’s death foreshadowing “make a wish like the fisherman” - clover / clover’s death foreshadowing i’m not sure if any of these are intentional (and there are probably more pieces of foreshadowing that i’ve missed / haven’t played off yet) but i’m still losing my marbles about them!! especially the “puppet with a heartbeat” line, because I feel like that one is the most clear or intentional-sounding!!!! so cool!!! :D

This... I think this song foreshadows like, ALL of volume 7. Woah.

Lines that suit or mock characters "Check you out in your big metal shoe. Fighting so many kids don't know what to do." -Cardovin "This little riding hood's way too rad." -Ruby "Mirror mirror, who will lose it all?" -Weiss "Cuz I'm alive like a puppet with a heartbeat." -Penny "I'm on fire and I'm flying off the dope sheet." -Yang "Best be nimble and you better be quick." -Maria "Or I'm going to break your bones with stones and sticks." -Nora "Run, run, run, as fast as you can." -Harriet "You better make a wish like a fisherman." -Clover "Ashes, ashes, guess who's falling down? Sparring in glass slippers and you're bound to break your crown." -Cinder "I'm going to fly with the swan and show my beauty." -Qrow "The sky is going to fall, you'll be feeling the pain. You would be great and terrible only if you had a brain."-Ironwood "You're going to wind up like that robin at your last tweet." -Robin "A-B-C-D, you can't see me." -Blake

-The Lady In The Shoe - Jeff Williams is a Heavy Metal reference, change my mind. -Little Red Riding Hood -Snow White -Rock'A'By'Baby -Pinocchio -Who Killed Cock Robin? -Ring Around The Rosie 1 (You're gonna fall) -Three Little Pigs -Jack Be Nimble -Stones & Sticks -Gingerbread Man -A Fisherman's Good Luck -Ring Around The Rosie -Cinderella -Goldilocks -The Six Swans? -Pop Goes The Weasel -Scarecrow from Wizard Of Oz -Pop Goes The Weasel 2 -Hickory Dickory, Dock -Three Blind Mice -Ring Around The Rosie 3 -Twinkle Twinkle Little Star -London Bridge -Wheels On The Bus Menie

After listen to this again, I realize its not just fairy tale but the ace operatives are in this song along with all the rwby and jnr team.

Miles: how many fairy tale and nursery rhyme references are you putting in this song Jeff: *yes*

The jack in the box at the beginning was a perfect touch

*reads description* I got like maybe 60% of the rap memorized. But like every other rwby song with lamar in it, I'm gonna memorize it all eventually. 😅

"A B C D You Can't See Me." John Cena is canon.

I love how they put little pieces of other Rwby songs in this, it really is amazing! And it’s cool :3

Big metal shoe more like big metal banger

This is a pretty great song considering it's called Big Metal Shoe.

I didn't expect to start regaining the speed reading skills that I had in elementary school just from wanting to keep up with a lyric video.

How many fairy tales/rhymes/fables can you fit in a song? This song: *yes*

Fellow fandomers! You know how Salem is coming to Atlas in RWBY Volume 7? Well, I've developed an alternate version of " Santa Claus is Coming to Town" just for Salem! You better watch out You better cry You better pout I'll tell ya why Salem is Comin To yo town She made a Big Grimm She checked it twice Gonna find out who she wants to die Salem is Comin to TOWN!!

"Better make a wish like the fisherman" Clover..?

The was an old woman who piloted a big metal shoe. She was fighting so many children she didn't know what to do...

Can't get over that fact that the Mech was completely wrecked by a couple of toothpicks but strong enough to defeat the leviathan Grimm... Toothpick > Leviathan Grimm

I always wonderrd what Cordovins reaction to Ironwoods decision was and if she would follow it. Though its likely she did

How many references can we fit in one song? Jeff: Yes.

Love it when Jeff sings. The man is 50 and can hit those high notes like a damn god. I'm truly inspired by him

Finally!!! Been waiting for my favourite for a while now🤘

0:00 Kingdom Hearts Gummiships 0:09 Kingdom Hearts II Gummiships

Eminem: Lyrics comin' atcha at supersonic speed Lamar Hall: Holdmybeerandbuckleintightimmabouttoshowthispunkwhatsright

1:52-1:55 "You would be great and terrible if only you had a brain!" That... accurately sums up Ozpin's thought process as of now...

"This little riding hood's just way too rad" - Ruby "Mirror Mirror who will lose it all" - Weiss "Best get nimble and you better be quick" - Blake in Chibi "And I'm just right/ like a porridge at a nice heat" - Yang Really sad there wasn't a beauty and the beast reference between Weiss' and Yang's parts, but the Blake be nimble and Blake be quick in rwby chibi is nice too.

Considering this song isn't from Cordovins view, I believe it's from Maria's view.

1:50 “ The sky is gonna fall, you’ll be feeling the pain, you would be great and terrible, But only if you had a brain “ That’s a Chicken Little Reference and I’m surprised that popped in my head 😊

I want Lamar Hall to collab with Lotus Juice

There are times where I forget that RWBY draws a lot from fairytales and has them for various motifs, then I listen to this song.

Here's the rap in case you find it easier to sing/hum along to^^. Pop goes the weasel, time to defeat you Hickory dickory, flawless victory Carve your tail like three blind mice Better listen up, I'm not saying it twice Ring around the rosie, you can't oppose me Let you know now, I'm here to take you down You're gonna meet your end in a splendor No more pretending, your fall pending Your star won't twinkle, squeeze to a wrinkle Bloody up the scene, a nightmarish fiend London Bridge is down, you can't make a sound The wheels on your bus have just been crushed Eenie meenie my, time for you to die Catch 'em by the toe, never letting go No time to pray, it's your last day A, B, C, D, you can't see me

My trick for learning to rap Lamar halls part is slowing down the video and then going faster as I get the words down

*Sees notification at night* Sleep was for the weak anyways.

I never knew how much I wanted a much more BADASS version of Fairytales BUT that is the power of Jeff, Casey and Lamar

Top ten rappers Eminem is afraid to diss 1:56 - 2:17

Been waiting for this bop😁😄Another amazing job Flynt😊

Yes I’m early! I love your content Flynt and I hope you know we support you even though you can’t do RU-vid full time.❤️
