Thank you for being patient. I'm afraid this could be the last video for a while, because I'll be at university. Thank you for all the nice comments on my videos, it's been really great.
I think that Morshu's ultimatum is very clear from this piece. In an echo of Morshu's Paradise, Morshu sings about his dilemma: should he profit from war and misery by selling arms to Link, or live an ethical life of poverty? While we know that Morshu's profiteering eventually helps free the people of Coridai, there's no way that he can really know how Link will use the bombs, rope and lamp oil he sells ("used for good or bad, I can't tell"). At best, Morshu can only trust in his own judgement of character, and nobody else's ("the system's fine as long as I head it"). We cannot count Morshu as without fault though. By his own admission he's blinded by greed ("gotta make money and never look back"), and while he attempts to justify it with a rags-to-riches story ("I got dealt a bad hand..."), it ultimately rings hollow ("rubies [...] they are my life"). Morshu stays up at night, and while he'd have us believe that his fears are purely business ("To have good sleep is a rarity [...] If I dip into the red I'll pack up"), it's clear that his true fear is in selling arms to the wrong person ("I need a customer to count on"). Has Morshu truly become a monster? This is the tale of the Coridai Cretin.
Fantastic analysis, though I would say, the "customer to count on" was more of a desperation to have a true friend amidst all the faces in the crowd in his shop
"My way of life is frozen now... ""My friend sorry. Please come back..."" ...cause' I can't quit. I don't know how..." That confirmation makes me feel a lot better to know his more "moral than corrupt" perceived inclination & makes me feel happier with deciding to donate rubies to the Morshu foundation. (Also, as someone starting my 1st year uni, best of luck Burnt Lamp) Although I prefer the more moral theory of Morshu, that's a really good analysis, Sanchezman. Good stuff.
@burnt_lamp I figured that it was him needing a sense of financial safety, therefore asking for you to come back later (as he follows it with "a reliable person I can amount from")
Morshu knows from bitter experience that if you get a reputation for lenience, people will only take advantage of you. He's known Link for a long time, and generally trusts him, but if you show favouritism, then where does it end? You can't give credit to everybody, so who's to judge that Link's sob story is more valid? At the same time, if you show callousness to your true friends, they may just as soon leave you behind. Link is a valuable repeat customer, and you want to be able to give him something he can't find anywhere else. So it's a balancing act. It's an ultimatum.
Holy fuck. The lines "It's nice to be rich, but at the end of the day, as long as you have enough it's ok." goes unbelievably hard. Well done once again.
I like to imagine at the beginning Morshu is pleading with a customer "Come back! Come back!" then catches himself and flips it into "Come back when you're a little..."
“Don’t lecture me on scripture- I’ve read it. ’To loan is to lose.’ Quote me, I’ve said it.” Easily the best line within this work. Morshu is aware of the apparent immorality within his work, as he’s read these scriptures, which is presumably referring to philosophical, or even religious text. However, although he agrees with the premise of the ethics, he finds himself disdaining those who subscribe to it, as he finds they misunderstand his situation and his moral code. He doesn’t hate those who cannot pay upfront, he just knows that, if he gives credit, he will inevitably fall. He believes that this is an important nuance which needs to be understood, and should be added on top of the base scriptures.
Note the “it’s nice to be rich, but at the end of the day, as long as you have enough, it’s ok.” This further exemplifies the point made by the line discussed within the head comment. Morshu outright says it’s ok to only be scraping by- he knows the feeling. He just finds that it is best for him, his family, and even his customers that he becomes as rich as possible, without ruining his moral code. He can refuse credit without tainting his morals, as he believes it is not an immoral thing to do.
@@JM-cl7pl (rips from bong) "Duuuude....." But seriously, these actual analysis comments are some of the best parts of any good Morshu song.... video... thing.
I absolutely love this. It’s nice that ya returned, even if it was for naught but a moment, but it was not for nothing. A light in the distance waits for ya my mate.
GOD the lyrics u make for these songs are legit SO good?? when i first discovered u, ur morshu covers made me unironically hyperfixate on zelda cdi for a little while
Lamp oil, rope, bombs, you want it? It's yours my friend, as long as you have enough rubies. Sorry Link, I can't give credit! Come back, come back, come back when you're a little- Lamp oil, burn up the turmoil One slip and I'm buried in the subsoil I sell bombs to keep me afloat But if I can't make money I'll sink my boat I have rope and it often sells well Used for good or bad, I can't tell But I don't care, cause if I get my pay I can open up and eat another day Gotta make money and never look back Ride on the train and keep it on track If I fall behind I just pick up the slack I got dealt a bad hand but it's not a bad pack I can't have debtors so I can't give credit The system's fine as long as I head it Don't lecture me on scripture - I've read it To loan is to lose - quote me, I've said it Rubies, the finest gems of them all They are my life and my port of call It's nice to be rich but at the end of the day As long as you have enough, it's ok The grind never stops - I can't get a fresh start Timings are tight so I gotta work smart Night and day are the same to me To have good sleep is a rarity Come back - I need a customer to count on A reliable person I can amount from I balance the books, but it's often no fable It's a horror story, and then I feel unstable If I dip into the red I'll pack up, cause its over I feel like every day I find a four leafed clover Cause I always find a way to turn a profit on my wares Too good to be true, but then again who cares Gotta make money and never look back Ride on the train and keep it on track If I fall behind I just pick up the slack I got dealt a bad hand but it's not a bad pack I can't have debtors so I can't give credit The system's fine as long as I head it Don't lecture me on scripture - I've read it To loan is to lose - quote me, I've said it
Why do morshu parodies with original or semi-original lyrics always have such unironically great lines and rhyming. Seriously, well done on the lyrics on this one, there's some legitimately great lines here, and they're totally original if I'm not mistaken. The original doesn't even have lyrics. Fantastic.
It feels like morshu is oftentimes portrayed as greedy, but here we see the reality that he's like all of us, just trying to get by in an expensive world where only those that can make a profit will survive..
So, what'll it be huh, huh? You can be a Hero, or you can be hmm... A little richer. What will you be? A Hero (heerow) or a little richer(Lil' Richard)
This legit feels super nostalgic lol, can't believe only a year's passed like damn. Feels like two years lol Good luck with uni mate, wish you the best 👍
Holy crap, this is amazing. I was expecting another mildly funny ultimatum shit post, but instead I get Morshu dropping SICK bars over PSR's classic, a vibrant and powerful piece about self-control, hard work, and a personal vow to not participate in debt slavery. It sounds silly, but I'm genuinely moved by this. Godspeed, and end the fed.
This song is perfect when you need to get into the business mindset! "Got dealt a bad hand but it's not a bad pack" is such a good line and resonates with me a lot :)
A tragic tale about a man's descent into pure greed. What was once a struggle to get by has become an empire of ruppees that turned the person at its head into a ruthless husk. His soul is good as sold 'cause he doesn't get to feel, no
burnt lamp youre literally a lyrical genius with two sentences of material. Every morshu remix youve made goes so hard and has unexpectedly banger lines. Love to see it

Thank you for being patient. I'm afraid this could be the last video for a while, because I'll be at university. Thank you for all the nice comments on my videos, it's been really great.
Wishing you best of luck on the uni!
Eyy g'luck at university my friend
Your works are a classic of the internet, don't worry. Just remember to come back once you're a little richer.
Congrats on even getting into a university. I wish you good luck.
good luck with uni, thank you for your service.
I love how this wasn't even an ultimatum video, it was just Morshu dropping bars

*_...and that's the tale of the Koridai Kretin..._*
When the world needed him the most, he returned.
Not quite.
“I’ve got dealt a bad hand but it’s not a bad pack” is just such a good line
Holy fuck.
The lines "It's nice to be rich, but at the end of the day, as long as you have enough it's ok." goes unbelievably hard.
Well done once again.
Never imagined you could make a song cover for Grinch's Ultimatum song. Well done, this slaps hard af.
Holy shit, the lyricism on display is sublime. This is better than most non-YTP rap I've heard.
I like to imagine at the beginning Morshu is pleading with a customer "Come back! Come back!" then catches himself and flips it into "Come back when you're a little..."

But seriously, these actual analysis comments are some of the best parts of any good Morshu song.... video... thing.
I just assumed the "I've read it" was a reference to "Morshu reads the entire Bible"
"I've been dropping bars before you were dropping bombs"
Using “richer” to sentence mix “scripture” is both hilarious and genius
"The systems fine as long as I head it" sounds like it's cut dialogue it's so smooth. Great work man!
*returns with one great video with morshu rapping to grinch's ultimatum*
*leaves again*
Chad
I wasn't expecting a rap when I saw the thumbnail.
Also, as always, a reminder:
He has two fucking lines.
I absolutely love this. It’s nice that ya returned, even if it was for naught but a moment, but it was not for nothing. A light in the distance waits for ya my mate.
Sick choice of beat, love Grinch's Ultimatum and love Pilotredsun!
Another absolute banger from the top modern musical artist himself, Morshu.
GOD the lyrics u make for these songs are legit SO good?? when i first discovered u, ur morshu covers made me unironically hyperfixate on zelda cdi for a little while
Can you please post the lyrics raw
That was so shockingly poetic lmao
Lamp oil, rope, bombs, you want it?
It's yours my friend, as long as you have enough rubies.
Sorry Link, I can't give credit!
Come back, come back, come back when you're a little-
Lamp oil, burn up the turmoil
One slip and I'm buried in the subsoil
I sell bombs to keep me afloat
But if I can't make money I'll sink my boat
I have rope and it often sells well
Used for good or bad, I can't tell
But I don't care, cause if I get my pay
I can open up and eat another day
Gotta make money and never look back
Ride on the train and keep it on track
If I fall behind I just pick up the slack
I got dealt a bad hand but it's not a bad pack
I can't have debtors so I can't give credit
The system's fine as long as I head it
Don't lecture me on scripture - I've read it
To loan is to lose - quote me, I've said it
Rubies, the finest gems of them all
They are my life and my port of call
It's nice to be rich but at the end of the day
As long as you have enough, it's ok
The grind never stops - I can't get a fresh start
Timings are tight so I gotta work smart
Night and day are the same to me
To have good sleep is a rarity
Come back - I need a customer to count on
A reliable person I can amount from
I balance the books, but it's often no fable
It's a horror story, and then I feel unstable
If I dip into the red I'll pack up, cause its over
I feel like every day I find a four leafed clover
Cause I always find a way to turn a profit on my wares
Too good to be true, but then again who cares
Gotta make money and never look back
Ride on the train and keep it on track
If I fall behind I just pick up the slack
I got dealt a bad hand but it's not a bad pack
I can't have debtors so I can't give credit
The system's fine as long as I head it
Don't lecture me on scripture - I've read it
To loan is to lose - quote me, I've said it
@@burnt_lamp How are the lyrics so good nd the sentence mix works, it even rhymes
@@YexprilesteR its just a matter of patience. I make multiple rewrites per line until I have the flow I need
I've been looping this for 2 hours and will likely loop for many more, the flow is just that good. Amazing and genuine feat of lyricism.

THIS DID NOT DESERVE A HEART
Ok no heart for you
@@burnt_lamp Thank you.
i was expecting another passable grinch's ultimatum edit and then morshu started freestyling and blew my mind
It feels like morshu is oftentimes portrayed as greedy, but here we see the reality that he's like all of us, just trying to get by in an expensive world where only those that can make a profit will survive..
So, what'll it be huh, huh? You can be a Hero, or you can be hmm... A little richer. What will you be? A Hero (heerow) or a little richer(Lil' Richard)
Lmao nice one
"Have I truly become a shopkeep?"
er
and thats the tale of the shop cretin
"To loan is to lose" - Morshu 2022
one of new favorite songs
I was NOT expecting him to rap holy heck
This legit feels super nostalgic lol, can't believe only a year's passed like damn. Feels like two years lol
Good luck with uni mate, wish you the best 👍
I was just listening to Lamp Oil Inc again yesterday, glad to see you back!
Holy crap, this is amazing.
I was expecting another mildly funny ultimatum shit post, but instead I get Morshu dropping SICK bars over PSR's classic, a vibrant and powerful piece about self-control, hard work, and a personal vow to not participate in debt slavery.
It sounds silly, but I'm genuinely moved by this.
Godspeed, and end the fed.
I am so glad to see this! The rope line is hilarious, and about balancing books too) Glad you're back with some new stuff!
This is actually really good
Nice to see another NoseBoi fan
i thought you stopped uploading thank god ya haven't. glad to get more morshu lore
Wtffffff this is so good. I wasn't expecting a whole song
so fucking well done
Ah, i was having a bad day, thanks so much for this, now i feel better
Grand Return
Exemplary work, I am astounded. Keep at it! Bravo!
And thats the tale of the koridai cretin
This song is perfect when you need to get into the business mindset! "Got dealt a bad hand but it's not a bad pack" is such a good line and resonates with me a lot :)
dude. hip hop + Zelda + pilotredsun all in one video, very specific crossover episode but all subjects that I love
nah, who tf let Morshu cook
Have a good time at uni, Burnt Lamp. I'll be listening to A Merchant's Shanty on repeat until you return
This is another masterpiece as usual. Bravo!
HE CAME BACK!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ONE (possibly) LAST SONG! (for a while)
This is absolute fire
the real morshu rap
A tragic tale about a man's descent into pure greed. What was once a struggle to get by has become an empire of ruppees that turned the person at its head into a ruthless husk. His soul is good as sold 'cause he doesn't get to feel, no
My god, i honestly thought you stopped doing those for good.
Glad to see more of our favorite vocalist.
This is the best kind of video to find at 2am
Two legendary memes come together at last.
"I got dealt a bad hand but it's not a bad pack" goes so unbelievably hard
the lyrics are honestly amazing. great job on this one!!

Honestly nostalgic at this point...
I loved listening to your songs when I was in California
well, this was incredible.
if it really is the last for a while, you went with a banger
I can't believe you wrote the lyrics for this, it's precious.
this is straight up fire dawg
Legitimately impressed by the lyricism
One of my favorite pilotredsun songs. Your lyrics go hard as always
Yooo it's great to see you back!
amazing as always man. good luck in university
I’m a huge PilotRedSun fan, this video was a real treat for me! Good work
This is absolutly amazing
Bruh. This is indescribably good.
Criminally underrated.
Your videos are always amazing I hope everything goes well for you man
This is really good great job you are very underrated
Underrated
This goes hard not gonna lie
Return of the king
now these are some rich bars
Dude this fucking slaps! Straight bars! Morshu spittin' mad rhymes
HAHAHAHHAA what a crossover...BEAUITFUL
This is beautiful.
I’ve listened to this so many times I have it basically memorized. When it ‘plays’ in my head Morshu spits the rhymes so clearly lol.
Hahaha I know how you feel
This is absolutely a slam jammed experience!
The transcript is funny
I love how morshu doesn't say much, but you make use of the whole dialogue really well.
Holy crap how has it took me this long to find this video
This is great!
this goes oddly hard
this goes so hard wtf
this is art no two ways about it
I can't wait for the next
