MARIO
VS
DAVID BOWIE
BEGIN!
=== Mario: ===
(starts at 0:12)
(Ya-hoo!) I jump through paintings that hit harder than your art can
So let's a-go! You'll find that I'm the real star, man
Cracked Actor getting miscast in all this guy's slow flicks
Time Will Crawl when watching just a second of your biopic
You had to die to make the Grammys actually acknowledge you
Meanwhile, I'd be a giant with or without the Mega Mushroom
Pulled the industry from its broken stage, threw it into the Golden Age
While you were in a coke-filled rage and dying on a lonesome page
You went station to station pedaling fascism down the road
Now it's Mario Time to give Major Tom some ground control
For generations, I've a-been Nintendo's shining star
Labels pass you around like you and your friends did to Sable Starr
=== Bowie: ===
(0:47)
Let's Dance. I'm the Bob-omb, you'll get blown to bits
Absolute Beginner raps like a Hammer Bro, he's just throwing shit
You're dead in the water, I'm up in Heaven rocking stages
Got games as brainless as the animals you lock in cages
Your new movie was lifeless, the writing's an insipid bore
Beat to death with Easter eggs, I'm surprised Yoshi wasn't in it more
The basics are basic, every format is formulaic
Repetitive gaming, trapped in a Labyrinth of your own making
Overrated soundtracks. Hand me your CD, I break it
I don't need to kill a plant to produce fire with my statements
All this new shit you're doing is stupid, your future's been bleak
Haven't improved in game or film since the '90s, that's twin peaks
=== Mario: ===
(1:23)
Put crowns upon your tooth, but no castle can save you
That verse was just more proof that you're not good with debuts
F.L.U.D.D. a Blackstar, leave him waiting in the sky
Stomp you flatter than your singing. Leave my Galaxy, buh-bye!
=== Bowie: ===
(1:35)
Flat, eh? You mean like your fucking paper-thin storylines?
Even when you switch it up, it's still the same old boring time
I'll shut it down before your greedy company destroys this
Besides, you've already lost enough now that you're voiceless
WHO WON?
WHO'S NEXT?
YOU DECIDE!
EPIC RA—
(YAHOO!)
BATTLES!
