EPIC RAP BATLES OF HISTORY!
KURT COBAIN
VS
THE BUDDHA
BEGIN!
[Verse 1: The Buddha]
Slumdog chillionaire, first name Siddhartha
Spreading good vibes from New York to Jakarta
Ahh, Co-existence and peace is my dharma
But my rhymes will leave you spinning and roasted; Shawarma!
Founded Nirvana but you’re heading for a reset
Stuck in saṃsāra cause you broke all five precepts
Kept your mind clouded, that wasn’t very good for you
And in that song you wrote, what did you ask your friend to do?
Your guitars are suffering but bare with them
Maybe they’ll find happiness with tone and rhythm
I’m enlightened, guess you could say that I'm woke
Whilе you’re shrouded in smoke, just bе careful don’t choke
[Verse 2: Kurt Cobain]
You talk about peace, but you must’ve had pieces
If that’s what you look like after fasting, Jesus!
Hello, how low can you go?
You’ve got people setting themselves on fire, bro
Save me
All this yoga bullsh*t’s gonna be my end
I’d love to be reborn
To never hear that sh*t again
Your rules suck, you’re nothing but a tripiṭaka
A tame impala, but no Kevin Parker
I’ve got smoke machines so take your incense and toss it
‘Cause when Kurt’s in the temple, the monks are in the mosh pit
[Verse 3: The Buddha]
You are lost and you’re losing control
Believe me, I feel all the pain in your soul
We should cut that proverbial fuse before you detonate
Come here, have a seat with me and meditate
Oṃ, feel your place in time and space
Maybe find your way out of your rebellious phase
Next time you’re picking pics for your EP
Stick with the PG and ditch the CP
With Courtney at your side, your karma can’t have been great
Left with all she should take, from signature to estate
Rule number one; always listen to the Buddha
Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta
[Verse 4: Kurt Cobain]
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Hey! Weight!
You've lack your self-restraint
Dammac*cka what the f*ck? Are you sh*tting me?
Was that the mantra of dealing with hypocrisy?
Rocking with the one percent you wouldn't leech a buck off
Teaching the poor to stay content? Man, f*ck off!
I'll enlighten you with burns that'll bodhi you
Got a set of bars wide enough even you could fit your body through
Followed the path, now it's the second time you're gonna
End up wiped out forever by Nirvana
[Outro: The Announcer and Choir]
WHO WON?
WHO'S NEXT?
YOU DECIDE!
EPIC!
