Michaela Laws - Epic Rap Battles of Akademi - Budo vs. Taro

Budo: So, let me get this straight

You just sit there and read

without a care in the world

or a want or a need

would you call that a living

I call that being a bum

You'll be begging to join my club

when this rap battle's done

Taro, you blend into the crowd

with some friends here or there

But what you really need is a purpose

not just sweet fresh air

How bout I show you how

to defend yourself so you can survive

After that, you'll finally know

the meaning of being alive

You got nothing to say!

Come on, show me what you can do!

I know a million ways to fight you

and a hundred ways to block you

Taro say something!

You really have nothing to say!?

If you don't then why the heck

won't you see things my way??

Taro: Look Masuta,

I'm just not interested alright!?

Why would I want to join

a club like yours unless I'm looking

for a fight

I just want to read in peace

but you just had to open your mouth

so let me shut you up and

tell you what this Yamada's all about

I'm an average tennage guy

trying to get by in school

without anyone's approval

and looking like a fool

Unlike you, I mean come on,

You walk around like Bruce Lee

Telling peaople, "Hey come

join my Club! We do Karate"

But lets face it

Why learn about fighting unless

you plan to use it anytime you want?

What's your thoughts on that, then?

If you can't defend that,

then you've already lost

Now, pardon my English,

but can you kindly

FUCK OFF!

Budo: There's no need to get hostile buddy

I just wanted to convince you

That's theres more to life than reading

what fictional characters will do

you can laugh all you want

but you might regret not joining me

If someone goes berserk

and starts a random killing spree

Taro: now, see, that logic

just doesn't make sense

If no ones here a pyscho

then why should I learn defense

Unless you're planning something Budo

Wanna spill what thats about

Why learn defense unless you plan

to knock someone out

Budo: You're putting words into my mouth!

Taro:Then stop trying to judge me, Okay!

I like reading, get over it

Budo: but how is that okay

like all you do is read

what kind of girl finds that attractive

Taro: What??Is that what this is about?

What about being active

Budo: YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKER

Would you look up for once

there's a bunch of girls that

think you're the cutest of the bunch

How can you be so blind

despite the reading you keep doing

Gah, what am I saying

Heck, who am I fooling--

Taro: Now see unlike you I don't

care about someone's looks

I just want them to be kind

and maybe like some of my books

If you want a girl that badly

read and see how far that goes

you've made an ass of yourself

and now EVERYBODY knows
