Tony Hawk:
I can skate better than this church-boy turd can!

Not Cash Money, it's just Wayne versus Birdman!

You got your whole league to protect and adore you,

So which goon's gonna take this battle for you?

(Ooh!) I'm the dude who blew up extreme sports!

That nose looks like you've seen some extreme snorts!

I mean, look at that thing! That slope is gigantic!

Even I wouldn't fly off a ramp that titanic!

And all the ice underneath you will get melted into water

When I hit you with a trick that's even hotter than your daughter!

You're old and you're basic; your talent is faded!

And Oiler alert: you're about to get traded!

I drop rhymes like I'm dropping into a half-pipe!

I'll thrash this asswipe, hit you like a hash pipe!

(Uh!) Keep your mittens on, Gretzky; you're too clean!

I got this covered like gravy on poutine!

Wayne Gretzky:
That verse was rough! Damn, Tony!

So let me smooth it out like I'm a damn Zamboni! (Ehh!)

I'm the greatest ever when I play hockey,

But on the microphone, I don't play, Hawkey!

It's a street fight, T. Hawk! Show some respect!

If you don't, then you'll catch a slap shot to the deck!

And I take a Flyer down, Bird; you're getting wrecked,

So you best prepare for arrival and cross-check!

(Hey!) Let me tell you what putting a puck in the net's worth:

Double what you've banked in bucks! Check my net worth,

And my hot wife, the only woman in the world for Wayne!

You're on your fourth wife; talk about the X Games!

There was one big trick that you ever did,

Then you got out-spun by a 12-year-old kid!

Oh, you like fingerflips? How about one of these?

Sit on this and rotate 900 degrees!

Tony Hawk:
Great One, Wayne! Let me say something, Wayne!

I got 99 problems, and you ain't one, Wayne!

You'll catch a pop shove-it to the mullet if you tempt me!

Your threats are like my swimming pools, bruh: empty!

Wayne Gretzky:
Let's skip the kickflips and McTwists!

You'll be speechless after 3 periods like an ellipsis!

This goofy-footed geek's straight getting smoked!

Got you down on your kneepads! Sorry about the deke joke!

Tony Hawk:
Man, you should hit the buzzer 'cause it's time to change lines!

You put that joke at the top shelf of lame rhymes!

This ain't typical sports; I use centripetal force

While you prance around in 4-pound icy diaper shorts!

I try to watch you on TV, but I can't see the puck!

Hockey used to have guts, but now the teams mighty suck!

I tell kids around the world that there's nothing they can't do!

Put more souls into skating than some Vans shoes!

Wayne Gretzky:
Timeout! Let's talk about athletic achievements!

You and I have so many world records between us!

184! That's plenty of 'em,

And I set 183 of 'em!

Undisputed, unrefuted! G-O-A-T!

You've been going downhill since Pro Skater 3! (Ooh!)

And I'm too far ahead for you to catch up!

For true sports fans, this was finished as soon as they heard the matchup!

General

 * This is the sixth battle in which a significant section of a rapper's line(s) did not have subtitles, after John Lennon vs Bill O'Reilly, Doc Brown vs Doctor Who, Batman vs Sherlock Holmes, Deadpool vs Boba Fett and Alexander the Great vs Ivan the Terrible.
 * This line is, "But you ain't one, Wayne."

Continuity

 * The logo on Gretzky's jersey reads "OILERB" instead of "OILERS," another instance of the ERB series name appearing on a character's outfit.
 * Tony Hawk's helmet also says "ERB" on its logo, but only in the thumbnail of the video.

Errors

 * During the line "I tell kids around the world that there's nothing they can't do!", it reads "I taught kids around the world that there's nothing you can't do!"
