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-faced, 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!

Nice Peter vs EpicLLOYD 2:
[Note: Nice Peter is in blue, while EpicLLOYD and Allrounda beats are in regular text.]

Prologue:
Hey, can you put that little, uh, thing back down in there?

No, no, no, the one below it.

You're just a little up in my face right now.

Oh, I'm sorry. Am I being annoying?

'Cause you said we'd be done at 10, and it's 4 in the morning.

Look, I don't know how to say this.

You know what, fuck it. Let me just fucking say it.

Verse 1:
I'm fucking burnt out, man! It's been six years every day

That I wake up and come to work to look at your hungover face!

I need some personal space to get away from your screaming,

But every time I turn my back, mother fucker, you start scheming

To take over control of some shit I'm already doing just fine!

We'd have more subs than PewDiePie  if you didn't fight me every time

I try to take our little baby in a creative direction!

I'm trying to make art, mother fucker! You're trying to find a rhyme for erection!

I'm sorry, man! No, I'm fucking not! Fuck you!

You're second class! That's why I let you run ERB2 !

You're so afraid to lose, but losing's all you do,

And tonight, I'm not quitting the battles! Bitch, I'm quitting you!

Verse 2:
And doink! Nice punchline, bro.

Your jokes haven't grown since you told them in a lunch line, bro!

You're an eight-year-old boy stuck inside a whatever-year-old man!

(Argh!) Look at me! I'm EpicLLOYD! Check me out! I can

Rap about my problems instead of solving them!

If you wanna heal, you gotta deal with your issues 'cause a bottle's not stopping them!

Verse 3:
Yo, don't try to paint me as some compulsive little jerk!

If you weren't so cheap, we could hire some editors that do good work!

Who do you think just— Oh, that's real funny, Andrew !

Aww, c'mon! Now what the fuck did I do?

Interlude:
Allrounda Beats. What?

Who the fuck left the tag in?

ERRRRRR!

ERRRRRR!

Thanks. Yeah.

Hey, Allrounda. Can you put the—

Yeah, and the little, uh, nice.

We cool, guys?

Verse 4:
Yo, I guess what I'm saying, man,

Is that I'm running out of patience, man!

I'm a patient man,

But sometimes you need to be a patient, man!

I got the same shit that I was dealing with at the very beginning!

I'm trying to get somewhere with it, man, but all your bitching is keeping my wheels spinning!

Epilogue:
That was weird. Yup.

I'm sorry about some of the things that I said.

I'm sorry about the way you played Batman.

I think I just need a break. Yeah, me too.

You wanna write a song? Yeah, dude!
