Lyrics
Rick Grimes:
Carl, stay back. This is gonna get bad.
I'm 'bout to show this lab rat how to be a real dad.
A grade-A MC who'll ruin your A-1 day,
'Cause Sheriff Grimes rhymes dirty like my armpit stains!
I'm a post-apocalyptic cop who's got a lot of issues.
Pop a cap in you and splatter the brain you misuse!
Cooking up Blue Sky and bigger lies for Skyler,
Hatching little schemes like a dying MacGyver.
You tore your family apart, sin by sin.
Where I live, it happens literally limb from limb!
So write this down in your pancakes so you won't forget it:
I kill zombies that are better men than you before breakfast.
Walter White:
I don't know what you think I've done,
But if we were to battle, I've already won.
Ask Gus: you don't wanna face off against me!
I'll stuff you in a barrel and make a dude smoothie! (Huaggh!)
Your sense of duty gets your group into some deep doody!
Always getting saved by some samurai booty!
I'm a kingpin, cooking crystal in the middle of the day,
Having dinner by the pool with the DEA!
Run you over with my Aztek, GTA,
If you ever try to stop Heisenberg getting paid!
Here's a hot dose; let me watch you choke on the truth!
You look up to me like I'm a pizza on the roof!
'Cause you're a loser; a failure to your whole entire crew.
I've seen Walter Jr. handle walkers better than you!
Rick Grimes:
Carl! I said stay back with the others,
While I finish this bitch like you finished your mother.
You ain't the danger to me, Walt, so knock all you want.
I'll watch you get eaten on my fucking front lawn!
Walter White:
Your monsters don't frighten me, and you can bite me!
I'll be standing right here in my tighty Walter Whities! (Huaggh!)
I'll bury you faster than your partner stole your whole life!
No one saw Shane coming, except for your wife!
Scrapped lyrics
Rick Grimes:
[Don't] wanna hurt you but I will if I have [to]
[Pop] a cap in your gray matter
If you threaten my group
Keep passing through
'Cause you don't wanna test me I'm cold
I'll leave you in your tighty whities on the side of the road
You wouldn't last two seconds in the wreckage that I've dealt with
You're feeble and selfish
Carl, you stay back and protect the others
[While] I destroy this bitch who lies to his (???)
(???) than your mother
