I Want It All

By: Queen

I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now

Adventure seeker on an empty street

Just an alley creeper light on his feet

young fighters screaming with no time for doubt

With the pain and anger can't see a way out

It ain't much I'm asking I heard him say

Gotta find me a future move out of my way

I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now

I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now

Listen all you people come gather round

I gotta get me a new game plan gotta shake you to the ground

Just give me what I know is mine

People do you hear me just give me the sign

It ain't much I'm asking if you want the truth

Here's to the future for the dreams of youth

I want it all (give it all) I want it all I want it all and I want

it now

I want it all (yes I want it all) I want it all (hey)

I want it all and I want it now

I'm a man with a one track mind

So much to do in one life time (Do you hear me people?)

Not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living

lies

So I'm living it all (yes I'm living it all)

And I'm giving it all (and I'm giving it all)

Yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I want it all all all all

It ain't much I'm asking if you want the truth

Here's to the future

Hear the cry of youth (hear the cry hear the cry of youth)

I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now

I want it all (yeah yeah yeah) I want it all I want it all and I

want it now

I want it

Now

I want it I want it NOW

The song "I Want It All" by Queen relates to the topic ambition and also to the character Julius Caesar. In the first verse "Adventure seeker on an empty street. Just an alley creeper light on his feet, young fighters screaming with no time for doubt. With the pain and anger can't see a way out. It ain't much I'm asking I heard him say. Gotta find me a future move out of my way" The artist is saying in the last verse that no one is going to stop him from achieving his dreams much like Caesar. Caesar ignored the warning about the Ides of March nothing was going to stop him from being the great ruler. "Listen all you people come gather round I gotta get me a new game plan gotta shake you to the ground Just give me what I know is mine People do you hear me just give me the sign It ain't much I'm asking if you want the truth." Here he is gathering the people to listen to his goals in life and what he plans to do. He wants them to give him the "sign" In Julius Caesar the citizens gather around Caesar and worship him. They forgot about the great leader Pompey and began following Caesar. And this upset Cassius and the conspirators. Because of Caesar's ambition they had to kill him.

Also in this song the chorus repeats "I want it all I want it now" Caesar's ambition made him want to get to the top and rule all over Rome. He was very smart about it. For example when Antony offered him the crown Caesar refused it three times. So he could win over the people's trust . "So I'm living it all" I believe Caesar was living his dream in being the ruler over Rome. So not only is this a great song from Queen it relates to Caesar and to his ambition.

He was my friend, faithful and just to me.

But Brutus says he was ambitious,

And Brutus is an honorable man.

He hath brought many captives home to Rome

Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill.

Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?

When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept.

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,

And Brutus is an honorable man.

You all did see that on the Lupercal

I thrice presented him a kingly crown,

Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,

And, sure, he is an honorable man.

He was my homie fo' life, he was real

But Brutus says he was ambitious

Yo but Brutus, gotta respect the man

He brought many homies back to the hood

And their dough improved the hood

Did this O.G. of Caesar seem ambitious? Nahh;

When the poor cried Caesar shed tears too

Ambition shouldn't be so soft

But Brutus be saying he was "ambitious"

Yo but Brutus, gotta respect the man

All yall saw what happened in Lupercal

I offered him the crown

But what did he do? Refused it not only once but three times!

Was this ambition? Nahhh;

But Brutus says he was ambitious;

But as I said before you gotta respect Brutus

This quote is important because this was after the death of Caesar. Mark Antony is defending his friend Julius Caesar and telling the citizens that Brutus was wrong Caesar was a good man. Caesar stuck through thick and thin with the citizens. When they cried he cried as well. He asks the citizens multiple times if they think this is ambitious but after he says that Brutus is an honorable man. He isn't trying to get the citizens against Brutus he is simply stating the facts.

Stronger- Kanye West lyrics[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/stronger-lyrics-kanye-west.html ]

This song relates to our topic of ambition because it is all about never giving up and always working harder and making yourself more powerful. This song relates to the progression of our topic in the play so far because Caesar is always working hard and trying to be the most powerful ruler by conquering other lands. But mean while the conspirators are working to remove Caesar and replace him with Brutus because they hate Caesar.

The lyrics in this song represent never giving up on the path you are on no matter what is happening to you, and to keep on that path to become more powerful, because bad things can only make you stronger unless you let them break you. This song basically represents what is happening with Caesar right now even if he doesn’t realize it yet.

"He had a fever when he was in Spain,

And when the fit was on him, I did mark

How he did shake; ’tis true, this god did shake.

His coward lips did from their color fly,
And that same eye whose bend doth awe the world
Did lose his luster; I did hear him groan; Ay, and that tongue of his, that bade the Romans

Mark him and write his speeches in their books,

Alas, it cried, “Give me some drink, Titinius,”

As a sick girl."

This part from the play is very important and directly relates to our topic of ambition. This was Cassius speaking to Brutus about how Caesar is weak and doesn't deserve to be considered a "god." We can tell just from the tone and what he says that Cassius wants to get Caesar out of power and he is very ambitious to do so. This is really the first big thing to happen when the plot is unfolding. With this speech that Cassius gave Brutus we now realized that Cassius is the antagonist of the story and it even foreshadows the play a little.

In the beginning of this quote Cassius said that Caesar had a fever and it made him shake while they were in Spain. He calls him a God out of mockery saying that he actually shook. Cassius is explaining to Brutus that Caesar is just a normal person and maybe even less of a man then both of them. This clearly shows that Cassius is very ambitious to defeat Caesar by the way he attacks and insults him. Then he said that his lips turned white and the eyes that everyone is scared of lost their gleam. This is more detail about how Caesar is not godly at all. Then finally he says that Caesar's tongue that orders Romans around was asking him for a drink like a sick little girl. Cassius continued with the insults and sounded very convincing with everything he said. Overall you can just tell this line symbolized ambition because Cassius is on attack the whole time and the tone gives it away.

Ambitioin Acrostic

An ardent desire for fame, rank, or power.

Men throughout history had ambition.

Brutus helped to end Caesar's want for power.

In Rome three people ruled and wanted power.

That was called a triumvirate.

I believe ambition can be a poison.

Oh how ambition is used.

Never would Caesar get what he wanted so badly.
