Lance Armstrong:
Before I let loose with this ruthless aggression,

I'll let you be the second fat woman hearing my confession!

I admit it: I did what I had to do to win.

I'm an athlete; you're a specimen of sin!

With your drinking and smoking and choking down food,

I know French dudes with better manners than you!

So swing, batter batter. Show me what a fatter rapper can do!

I beat cancer; I can sure as hell crack you!

Babe Ruth:
You lived strong, beat cancer. Congratulations!

Now I'll drop your ass faster than your own foundation!

Third base with an Olsen twin: that's the sin, face it!

She's just a little girl. What'd you give her, a bracelet?

The whole nation knows you ride too tight in the crotch.

You're as boring as your Tour de France is to watch!

So come on little buddy, don't look so pissed!

With all that blood and attitude, you're like a menstrual cyclist!

Lance Armstrong:
You set records before black men could compete. Are you kidding me?

That's like having a pasta contest without Italy!

You're an orphan who found his way to fortune and fame.

Just think what you could've done if you would've actually trained!

I'm the pinnacle of physical condition,

While you dip your stick in prostitutes and call it foul tipping! Are you trippin'?

You'll be nothing but a skeleton

Messing with the fellow in yellow who will be pedaling like hell up in the Peloton!

Babe Ruth:
It's the bottom of the ninth against the Texan in a bathing suit,

Filled with more artificial ingredients than a Baby Ruth.

It may be way too soon, but I'm calling my shot,

And I'm not talking about those Italian syringes you brought!

The Sultan of Swat will knock you right outta the park!

And round the bases to the sound of uproaring applause,

While you hang your head in shame and disgrace because

You got lost and forgot what real sportsmanship was!

You look tired, kid. You got Sheryl Crow's feet eyes.

Pedal home to France and maybe bring me back some fries.

'Cause if you step to Ruth on the mic, I'll fan your fancy bike and all.

Yerrr out, with three strikes, and just one ball!
