Hip Hop Shop Rap Battle Lyrics

[Round 1: Kuniva]
Check my vocals, cause you know what I'm about
It's best to play like O.J. Simpson and just stab out
Why did you enter, you didn't comprehend
See, this is a battle for MCs who think they might win
But fuck the battle, let's take it to the streets
Cause you a pussy
Oh well, if you are what you eat
Now, you [?]
[?] wrong, and all this shit gonna be blew out
Claimin' you jumped [?]
Nigga, you come in this bitch
You talk more shit than Reggie Miller
Never spent nothing more, nothing less
The first single you drop is "I Wanna Be Fresh"

[Round 2: Eminem]
Aight, look! Any rapper saying those kind of rhymes
In this day and age, in this period of time

Tryin' to battle Eminem is worse than David Starr
Tryin' to battle Proof, Eye-Kyu, B-Flat and Bizarre
[?], that's why you beg to differ me
You ain't got no style, plus you lack delivery
Not to brag, I don't mean to boast
Look, my face is pale, but you look like you seen a ghost
[?]
You're that bitch, you couldn't slip into the zone
If I put banana peels around this fuckin' microphone

Go get a bull dozer, start from bottom to top
And tear this building down
‘Cause that's the only way you're wrecking shop

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
