Red Flag vs. Sketch Menace

Lyrics

[Round 1: Red Flag] First on me, right? Pigsty hit me for a Ruin Your Day battle Funny enough, a Random one was offered Oh, okay It's 'cause we both skate I understand it - what a shocker I hope your name flips better than your kickflips This man is an impostor Probably got Rob Dyrdek and Bam Margera hangin' in your locker You are the past, I am the future You know Canada's been conquered Now you have (half) to face the music like the Phantom of the Opera He thinks he's snappin', but can't get reaction God damn, it's fuckin' awkward Makes sense his name Sketch He don't be landin' nothin' proper It's comedy, Mad TV At his peak, Sketch writing was only second-best Since then, he's been left for dead They checkin' for him less and less Ain't really been bookin' him in years And after this, he'll get to rest 'Cause he'll get shook and disappear A tombstone's what I'll etch of Sketch (Etch-A-Sketch) I did watch you vers' Real Deal…'cause Chef a star Like, "I don't really fuck with Sketch, but let me double-check if Chef said these bars" Then I opened a new tab to listen to Sketch's part And could've sworn it was an opinion piece on NPR You should be in broadcasting You could make yourself a legend with the right brand 'Cause your voice sounds like Dave Chappelle's impression of a white man It's Vancouver to San Fran' 'Cause after this, I'm probably chillin' in the Bay all week Got your death lined up Now you're the center of attention like Draymond Green You need at least a round I'm bettin' you waste all three .a-ha! Sketch was in his own world wantin' to Take On Me! Wait, I just remembered this is, like, a skateboard thing My fault for forgettin' And I promise I got skateboarding bars in the second But here go a free sample: Kareem Campbell - he hardly gets credit Funny I'm already a star in your city, and City Stars started as Menace! [Sketch Menace] Let's go! [Red Flag] Just like them, I can't put the bottle down The party is endless Gotta drink on every stage, no questions asked: Chardee MacDennis Tony Hawk Pro Litigator, this part is your sentence 'Cause I'm an animal in court like Mario Tennis What you're doing's legal Just a battle rapper But look like you earn trust from people just to tattle after Your homies learn you're deceitful, you gon' have to answer How their man turned to a weasel like Jak and Daxter You on some snitch shit I'm a switch-hitter Drunk out my mind with a bat, I'm Mickey Mantle Nah, you Mickey… They'll be outlinin' this rat like the Disney Channel It's been handled The boy deserved it Plus my form was perfect Shoulda seen the look on your mom's face, nothin' more disturbin' Like when she tried to get you ready for school after that alarm you ignored on purpose She can't wake you up, and she's a mourning (morning) person Wake up, Zachary [Sketch Menace] Let's go [Round 1: Sketch Menace] Yo, I ain't tryna have no fuckin' back-and-forth debate, wit' no Jackson Cory Yates But fuck it - for the channel, I been askin' for a plate They gonna have to put me on Watch after this statutory rape So I'm shatterin' his dreams 'Cause your bad delivery mixed with the talent that he brings is less than average to me But Jackson really thinks that he has some traction in this thing Like just 'cause he has the ginger gene, that he can rap like Tricky P But don't be so stupid See, my generation wrote you the blueprint And you little carbon copy bloggers aren't showin' improvement But you in the presence of your God, this is holy communion A Red Flag about to fall like the Soviet Union! 'Cause when I retired, I did it without severance pay So I told Pigsty to put a head on my plate He said, some rookie on the come up wants to discredit my name? I told him, "Flag better stay at half mast. This a Veteran's Day" 'Cause he might look like he's El-P, but his Mike don't sell seats And that's why his girl spent the night beside me Sayin' I could slide inside her pussy like a microSD So when she lifted up her skirt, I thought "I might as well see." And that's when I reached inside her pink box like a Nike SB So go ahead and run the jewels I dropped, 'cause I left a fortune And the videos are proof, there ain't a textbook shortage And if you wanna take this to skating, I got a left hook for him If this goofy bitch wanna put his best foot forward 'Cause in King of the Dot, the kid was the champ He'd rather be on King of the Road stickin' things in his ass But in either sport, homie, you ain't going the distance But welcome to Leeside, this a historical privilege And you should be honored we got some locals to witness Me make you fold under bridges like it's a yoga position It'll be a sobering vision when I knock him off his feet We at a skate park, but when you see a body drop, it's not a Hall of Meat So get outta pocket, I'll let you hang from the viaduct Or rot in a foxhole while you prayin' to die young Either way you wanna cut it, I'm still takin' his life, son So by the end of this, Red Flag better be waving a white one! [Round 2: Red Flag] We the only ones here, so you could finally be a headliner Me? I'm the first behind the wheel of every new foreign like a test driver Wanted poster at the police station if Sketch flyer Cremation, I'm dead fire! Right next to Menace crib, like Mr. Wilson Let me in! I'm wit' a chick - we're chillin'! Where's your liquor cabinet? I need two bottles I'm at Sketch pad…wit' a nude model Man, these lines will make your girl Flip And we'll dip back to that bird house (Birdhouse) Now you'll look at that girl differently Y'all got any Plan B? You're Blind if you can't see that'll be why you'll get curved instantly You're out of your Element, only Almost relevant in your little scene When all over the Globe, I'm packin' Vans with supplies I'm talking World Industries! Now I don't usually work in these schemes But I catch you smirkin', my G, I will dent your shit Lemme explain it, fam' You thought I was just naming brands? Double check them lists I gave you some boards, then threw in the shoes, and I meant to, bitch In that order, 'cause I'm saying you'll get decked, then kicked! [Sketch Menace] Let's go! [Red Flag] Forehead gets split! You bet that shit will start gushin' at first But you only got stunned Tony Hawk 1, the blood'll look worse Gimme a couple minutes, this shit'll look like the Punisher's work! 'Cause with zero remorse, I'll leave pieces of your skull on your shirt! So watch your mouth If I don't feel what he talkin' 'bout, his teeth fallin' out And this shit'll make the news - it's already three blogs about it And we gon' keep boxing 'til the police got the scene all surrounded In this battle, I'm being extra extra Read all about it! My man Lexx Luthor said he met you back when King of the Dot was in its infancy He recently hit the scene and was meetin' some people in the league Met you and saw a collection of hand-painted toys, these little things You know how nerds be paintin' their toys and shit? If they saw these, then they'd scream They'd stare in awe and disbelief, hallowed and pristine Lexx said, "Hey, I like your dolls, man." "They're not dolls! They're figurines!" [Sketch Menace] They're dolls [Red Flag] There was a long pause, deadly quiet Sketch was silent, Mr. Bean I'm lost, dawg, I don't disagree But ain't no real difference to them shits to me Figurines? The fact you have to call 'em that makes it all even more corny He asks his girl, "Could you be a figurine and run on down to the store for me?" So he can keep painting his dolls But hey, do you, dude - it's a free country I better stop makin' fun of him… He might have a voodoo figurine of me! That ain't even the half of it Just be glad I'm a nice guy, in my prime You've wasted the last of your lifelines You were established in Canada, even battled on Grind Time Sketch's run way too long…Saturday Night Live You been forgotten, my man Them punches not gonna land You just buyin' yourself some time like a property scam Why I gotta spell it out for him when he miss a flip, if he can skate? We got a problem, bitch? An ollie flip Next time I pop off the nose will be his face Break a leg with that stunt You'll get dropped over stares (stairs) like the Leap of Faith The footage 'bout to be on another level: this the Secret Tape! Cut! [Round 2: Sketch Menace] Bro, you are the poster boy for Charmin softness If someone dropped you off in the Scarborough projects, it'd be hard to process 'Cause the whole "I'm gonna stab you" act is horrible So when you put it in your raps, it's comical Cause not even you believe you have a gun You're like, "That's impossible!" So he thinks we'll believe he packs a blade, as if that's more plausible Shit makes me wonder what you did in Grade 1 When you and the other kids would play guns They'd be like, "Jackson, wanna play?" And he'd be like, "Sure, guys. But I don't like Nerf guns, so I brought my own Nerf knife!" And since then, he's been so obsessed with tuckin' blades, he even brings them on his fuckin' dates Looks up while he cuts his steak like, "Imagine this was someone's face" And with that topic, you'd think that she'd be more than flattered But that sort of banter made the enjoyment factor go dormant after …so he stabbed her So if homie tries to pull a blade like he's stabbing me? I'd put a red dot on Flag like he's Japanese 'Cause the whole shit reminds me of this meme I seen before Where there's this picture of a battlefield with firearms and infantries galore And there's this lonesome guy standing there in the middle of the war Goin' "Hurry! Get me closer! I wanna hit them with my sword!" So go ahead and spin your blades around like you gonna give the fans a show I'd just pull out my gun and shoot you like I'm Indiana Jones 'Cause regardless of the bullshit that you've tucked inside your rhymes Whether it's a gun or it's a knife, whichever way you'd cut it, it's a lie But it stumps me as to why you'd think it hasn't been done, pal The knife schtick been played, so don't give me the run-'round 24/7 did it in '09, and your version is dumbed down And the reason he ain't here is 'cause it sucks then and it sucks now Shit, I almost thought I got my Wi-Fi hacked 'Cause every time this white guy raps It feels like my timeline's back in fuckin' Grind Time chat So I've had it up to here with this Keebler elf Rehashing other lines that other people have dealt So I wish I had a better way to say this, and you probably won't even get it, but well… It's crazy…history has a strange way of repeating itself [Round 3: Red Flag] You waited 'til the last minute and didn't have writtens Shit, I don't have 'em either - son trash! Every fuckin' battle you've ever done thoroughly sucks ass But if you tried for this, maybe you coulda gotten some love back Couldn't have jotted some shit down, Sketch? Your name is a rough draft I won't talk about that chain you shoulda never had But I'mma go for your neck Legends have shown you the ropes, but they've never shown you respect Some SoundCloud rapper you just wrote for wouldn't throw you a check! You ghosted his verses…he ghosted your text! And you aired it on Facebook, just to show what you'd been through Like, "Getting robbed wasn't enough. They all need to know I'm a bitch too." And what do you think the dude did after he posted about it? Yup - cursed him out even worse 'cause now he knows he can clown him You such a fuckin' lame That's one thing about you that just doesn't change You'd probably run your chain What a shame All this from a dude who reps "Money Gang" You know, for someone giving out bars for free, that's a funny name Now every round, you fightin' through a rocky three like Clubber Lang Type to battle on Ruin Your Day and get pocket checked Feel like I lost a bet And this dork got the nerve to talk Glocks and TECs In the cleanest part of the city, like, "They never expected that I would pop the lead!" Thinks he's Leonardo da Vinci You ain't ahead of your time with a chopper, Sketch! Imagine Zachary clappin' heat Bro is pathetic Up-and-comers should look at his career, let that joke be a lesson I'm pushing your buttons 'bout this gun shit, or else they won't get the "Message!" So let me weigh in (Wayans) and say, "Basically, Don't Be a Menace!" What, is Sketch supposed to mean you quick to draw? I'm not convinced at all, and shit, it's a shame How when King of the Dot and Don't Flop was beefing, you'd get in the way 'Cause you ran a division, but wait Overseas, you were known as a boss no one respected like Ricky Gervais You even look stupid as a ghostwriter (Ghost Rider): you Nicolas Cage! I said, after this, it's the Bay From San Francisco it's straight to Colombia 'Cause I'd be in Narcos if it was written today Sometimes I'll fly to spend a week in Medellin on business and stay Permanent resident status, bitch, I'm practically Citizen 'Caine You what we call a clown, I'm all around, it isn't the same You ain't street, so Vert was the only mode you could pick in the game When he ran his division, yeah, they didn't get the biggest of names Maybe 'cause after he lost to DNA, he watched Day' take a shit on the stage! [Sketch Menace] It's true. He did. [Red Flag] Now the best you'll get is, "Remember Sketch?" It's over, dawg, no excuses Been mediocre for so long and we do not know his music But if anyone can make Sketch relevant, Avo' can do it This was strictly for the platform like a console exclusive [Round 3: Sketch Menace] So it's clear you're mad I pushed this back, and now I look like an asshole But I had shit to do, bro Plus, it was for the good of the channel So I sincerely apologize that I had to push back your travels But it just took me hella long to get through one of your battles Said, every time you ask for the weekend off to battle rap, I'll bet your law firm's gettin' furious Like, you must be awfully delirious if you think your colleagues take you serious 'Cause you act like your hobbies are just something that your job is interfering with Like, "The Johnson account was late, boss. I was learning to ollie off a pyramid." So there's gotta be a better way to use your talents, 'cause this shit's bound to fail Wannabe Loui Dallas Bitch, I'll holler at you if I'm tryin' to get out of jail But I guess this is just how Brooklyn do Every time I look at you I get this weird urge to gentrify every bodega that I look into Shit, I even heard you were behind the ads that iBattle was running Pyramid schemes ran by young hustlers, huh? Shit, even I laughed like it's funny Until I left the room for five minutes while the battle was running And I got scammed out of my money by Diamond Capital Funding! Shit, Red Flag meets with their sponsors on a phone conference meeting Their sole sponsor being…Charron's Water Heating And it's funny 'cause the premise for that lies In you trying to turn your league into a relevant franchise by selling us gas lines 'Cause y'all act like a angry crowd in South Park when a huge line gets dropped 'Cause when you guys go off, all of a sudden, you're a confused violent mob 'Cause when my homie does well, I dap 'em up like, "Yo, you really did dope, dawg." You hear a half-decent punchline and start rippin' their clothes off Shit, if someone landed a real bar, you'd probably give 'em a blowjob! Shit, the whole production is a blatant crutch I showed your battles to my gay homies, and they told me you were gay as fuck 'Cause the way that group of people boost your ego It's like you go from Lou Ferrigno to superhero Every time you hear "Talk that shit!" Or "Get him a fuckin' soda!" Y'all start hittin' tables like Kramer when he sees Joe DiMaggio dunkin' donuts Shit, the way every crowd member has to have their funny moment You'd think iBattle was paying out an interruption bonus! So you overreact in hopes that it'll boost your channel And it'd be alright if you had good bars, but you don't have those So if ya haven't seen their little two-horse battles Imagine a room where every person is fuckin' Uno Lavoz 'Cause you started from trying to write about the guys that write battles To trying to write battles Which makes me wonder how the whole recruitment side's handled 'Cause it's come to the point where the talent pool is so dry in iBattle That you just drive to White Castle And wait for someone to sit there and say, "Well, why don't I battle?" So I'mma leave it at that because the homies told me to be nice 'Cause there's a solid chance that one day I'll need some legal advice
