Lyrics
Why don't you pick on a brain your own size?

We got a badass over here, plus I got your back, Nye.

Astrophysics black guy, Hayden Planetary fly

By the way, the answer to your little calculation is "i"

As in I put the swag back in science

While Isaac Newton was lying and sticking daggers in Leibniz.

And hiding up inside his attic on some Harry Potter business

The universe is infinite, but this battle is finished.
