Lyrics
Verse 1:
I can skate better than this church boy turd can!
Not Cash Money, it's just Wayne versus Birdman!
You got your whole league to protect and adore you,
So which goon's gonna take this battle for you?
(Ooh!) I'm the dude who blew up extreme sports!
That nose looks like you've seen some extreme snorts!
I mean, look at that thing! That slope is gigantic!
Even I wouldn't fly off a ramp that titanic!
And all the ice underneath you will get melted into water
When I hit you with a trick that's even hotter than your daughter!
You're old and you're basic; your talent is faded!
And Oiler alert: you're about to get traded!
I drop rhymes like I'm dropping into a half-pipe!
I'll thrash this asswipe, hit you like a hash pipe!
(Uh!) Keep your mittens on, Gretzky; you're too clean!
I got this covered like gravy on poutine!
Verse 2:
Great One, Wayne! Let me say something, Wayne!
I got 99 problems, and you ain't one, Wayne!
You'll catch a pop shove-it to the mullet if you tempt me!
Your threats are like my swimming pools, bruh: empty!
Verse 3:
Man, you should hit the buzzer 'cause it's time to change lines!
You put that joke in the top shelf of lame rhymes!
This ain't typical sports; I use centripetal force
While you prance around in 4-pound icy diaper shorts!
I try to watch you on TV, but I can't see the puck!
Hockey used to have guts, but now the teams Mighty Suck!
I taught kids around the world that there's nothing they can't do!
Put more souls into skating than some Vans shoes!
Scrapped lyrics
You're a pro on the ice, but a rookie when rappin'!
Now I see why the Rangers demoted this captain!
