Calling this an actual battle is a bit of misnomer as this was more of a mutual willingness to clown on each other in the name of video entertainment, but Songs To Wear Pants To & SoundlyAwake decided to square off in a lyrical competition as Youtube contemporaries. They both use the same beat and put together quick videos in an interesting bit of cross-promotion. You can catch both entries below.
hola, nicola
i’m here to show ya
how to really drop rhymes sweet like cola
sick like ebola
i spit like a cobra
you have word fails
may as well have a roll of
tape on your mouth ’cause you’ve got no flows
while you’re at it maybe cover up your nose
it doesn’t fit in one area code
you could wake up, and smell every rose
but i’m soundly asleep when i watch your videos
almost made it through one once, got pretty close
but then you went and put on some women’s clothes
and i was like, “ooh, that outfit doesn’t really flatter his wrists…”it’s funny you should mention my brows
i feel bad, son
put yours together and you still wouldn’t have one
maybe all the hair migrated south
you’ve got something going on under your mouth
yo, what you trying to hold up with that strap thing?
while you’re rapping i just watch it flapping
you might look better in a goatee
but probably not, mr. nicola foti
and by the way, a foti is an herb in the shape of a naked man
word, your hair’s like curly fries, eat it ’til i feel full
so scratchy, use it instead of steel wool
that means, not only is it delicious
i use it to clean itself off my dishes
and that’s just weird man…that’s just weirdso in summation
your chinstrap’s dirty
love your dresses, but you just aren’t curvy
and whatever you say, it can’t hurt me
’cause guess what, bro
you live in new jersey
So like, okay yup here we go
I wasn’t gonna say nothing but I had to though
You like to talk trash bout my Roman nose
But your eyebrows look like triangles OH
Geometry musta been your best subject
Mirror in your pocket-protector predict you’re all set
I mean I’m all about learning bout shapes
But did you really gotta put em on your face?Phase out them monoliths; you ain’t got a permit
To build a pyramid beyond the borders of Egypt
I swear I warned you to pieces
They say it’s haunted by Jesus
Or maybe Kelly & Regis
Oh wait I’m feeling the sneezes
ACHOO
I think one of your eyebrow hairs just caressed my nostrilAnyway, hey
How’s Canadialand?
I heard aboot your moose cabooses being high in demand
When your royal mounted polooces tire of using their hand
And use ridiculous excuses like “The mooses there seduced us introduced us to abuses that you can’t understand.”
Sorry, I just got carried away,
I hope that we can stay friends not to sound all cliche
But, an apple a day keeps the doctor away
And the healthcare system in the United States sucks and I was wondering if I could just come take advantage of yours?
