RAP BATTLE LYRICS
ENDER
The name’s Ender Wiggin, by Orson Scott Card
I’ll break you like the arm of Bernard
I’m a great leader, all you do is follow
Without Jostein Gaarder, your head is hollow
You live in a small town, I live in space
While you sat there I saved the human race
Your book has thoughts, but all of them are strange
Like Parmenides saying nothing can change
I teach people with lots of variety,
The length of your book gives kids anxiety
My characters make you think, what’s bad and good
How humans can often be misunderstood
My book gets mad press like Demosthenes
Your book is poison go ask Socrates
SOPHIE
I did ask him, and he told me the truth
Ender’s Game is what “Corrupted the youth.”
Welcome to my world, it’s the philosophers’ turn
You're a “genius”, but you don’t want to learn
It’s funny because you think you’re a baller,
But look at me I’ve got true scholars
Like Hume, who showed something that you’ll find
Nothing’s ever invented by the mind
Or Descartes who showed, connections that were new
“I think therefore I am” better than you
You’re not realistic, a feet first attack?
Launchies weren’t ready, like buggers for payback
ENDER
I may have mistakenly killed a few
But like Spinoza’s parents, no one likes you
I can’t trust people but I don’t play tricks
Look, you’re as sneaky as U.S. politics
SOPHIE
I teach people to think without paying
True “phil” o “soph” er, is what I’m saying
I got idealists and Aristotle was real
Your world is crumbling, get ready to kneel
ENDER
My world’s expanding, it’s not in my mind
Kids with your book aren’t easy to find
SOPHIE
My words are smarter, things you say are taboo
Time to get schooled, my book should be taught to you.
ENDER
Hey I’m not that young and you’re young too
SOPHIE
Well my age still adds up to older than you
ENDER
Older kids like you always pick on me
SOPHIE
It’s not just about your age I guarantee
ENDER
I’m a general, you’re still training
SOPHIE
Your whole rap just sounds like complaining.
ENDER AND SOPHIE
At the end of the day the answer is clear
My book should be taught, any volunteers?
