LYRICS
Announcer: Epic Rap Battles of History! Goku! Versus! Superman! BEGIN!
Superman: Who can stop this constipated jock
With the awful animation and the complicated plots?
Who's got the rap bombs to drop on Japan?
This looks like a job for the O.G.—
Jimmy Olsen: Superman!
Superman: I'm killin' it, you're Krillin it, I'm villainous to vegetables
That dance around in Hammer pants that hide their tiny genitals.
My level is incredible! I'm out of your league!
You want justice? I'll bust this nut up in your Chi-Chi!
Greasy slick emcee from DC
With one breath, I'll freeze your whole measly species!
You're primitive and limited! You live in a village of idiots!
Step in Metropolis, I'll snap a carrot, period!
Goku: How many times are they gonna rewrite your story?
Your powers have been boring since the nineteen-fucking-forties!
Krillin: Goku!
Goku: Defeat me with heat beams? You're crazy
'Cause I'm a Super Saiyan, you're a flying Miss Daisy
You're pretty pasty to be powered by the sun
You can't flow to Son Goku, I kaioken get it done!
When I see your movies, all I do is watch the clock
Cause there's nothing fun about a superhero scared of green rocks
Look at those pantyhose! You've got that camel-toe!
I'll report to Lois Lane then Superman that ho!
Superman: Ha ha! Your rapping is weaker than your fight scenes!
Just one punch, and over nine thousand screams!
I'll make your nose bleed like Roshi sniffing panties!
From Z to GT, you can Dragon Ball deez!
Goku: Don't lecture me about fights, you caped coward!
You got your ass beat by a bat with no powers!
There's only one way that this battle's gonna end
One more Superman who's never gonna walk again!
Announcer: Who won? Who's next? You decide!
Ep... ic... Rap... Battlesofhistory!
