Verse 1:
Wow, your raps are just too wack to handle!
Let's do it like we do on the Discovery Channel.
Your science is preposterous; the opposite of competent process,
And in this episode, we'll give you a synopsis,
Starting with the vacuum cleaners strapped up on your back!
It's a fact: positrons don't react like that!
You built a laser grid with no safety switch,
And Walter Peck was right: that's some shady shit!
Good thing you work in a firehouse, 'cause you just got burned.
You are poor scientists, and that's confirmed.
Verse 2:
Ghosts aren't real, but it should be said.
It's time to bring the B-Team back from the dead.
Hey! Things are getting scary when Tory, Grant, and Kari
Come harder than Ray when that ghost popped his cherry!
We reject your flows and substitute our own!
Uhhhhhhhmmm…
Why'd you stop? I couldn't think of a rhyme.
Well, just say the first thing that pops into your mind!
During the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man's verse:
Blaze chumps and flip Kari butter-side up! (Hey!)
Show these dweebs how to rock a beret! (Hey.)
Scrapped lyrics
Wow, your raps are like your sequel: too whack to handle.
Your raps are like your sequel: just too whack to handle.
You're something strange and you don't look good,
You've killed more people than you've saved in your neighborhood.
You say you get the girls but I'm not jealous,
Your girl's a demon dog who moonlights as a cellist.
We're the lyrical colossus urban-legend bawses!
We're kinda like the streams 'cause you better not cross us.
