Verse 1
The battles were your idea to start with, that's no lie,

But I'm the one who had the brains to let a midget play the bad guys!

Look at you, or let me just tell you what I see.

You're a short little sidekick. I'll call you mini-me!

I drew a mustache on your face and you played a mean Hitler,

Take the moustache away, you look more like Bette Midler!

You big toothed, chompy face, horse looking prick.

You and Bill O'Reilly can both suck my dick!

Verse 2
I wrote your best verses for you; let you scream on the chorus.

You've got as much music talent as Chuck fucking Norris!

Verse 3
You look like a thumb. Where'd you even come from?

It's like I'm battle rapping a fat version of Gollum!

Verse 4
Man, you don't even have to say that kind of shit.

Fuck the rap battles and you. I quit!

Trivia
"Link can eat dicks."
