[Round 1: Madflex]
Aye, I tried to think about a flip for that shirt, but it took too long
Came out rockinâ a jersey - shit, he Jerseyâd himself when he put it on
Welcome to the battle of the night!
Tell Kimzy he ainât bred (bread) for a Body or a collection plate
But they sayin' he can beat me
Well...Cardi B teeth: we need to set it straight
I speak for everybody
You forced this shit upon us when you gave him that Aunt Becky acceptance rate!
I know he a confident little fucker
But yâall never discovered I was puttinâ in work while you slept on me like the Seventh Day
Look at my face! You better prayâŠ
âCause if A. Ward showed up with religion, I hope itâs weapons-grade
Iâm not worried, set the date
February days when I drop 30
Rep the Bay, youâll get a wake, and I put that on Tech and Sway
Pander to my people - what you know about Ć arĆ«nas MarÄiulionis?
...Okay - shut the fuck up about Steph and Klay
Iâll white-hearse this night nurse
We know he a sheltered lame
âTop 10 in the Worldâ Oh, shit! - asterisk: "self-proclaimed"
This a handout, but Iâll still make this light work at any cost like Section 8
I do not fuck witâ hypocrites!
âThou shalt not stealâ, but he sham God crossover and he stole...the Professorâs face
You special, K
I said, I promise thereâs Hell to pay for Heavenâs gates
Madflex versâ A. Ward - finally!
The irony - you the one who dies, but then I end up in a better place!
I said, who roll witâ this punk?
When this Girl Scout get crushed, who rollinâ the blunt?
You only here because a Real Deal went bad like Snow on Tha Bluff
No, no, hold on! Hold on...that wasnât potent enough
âCause if itâs Snow on Tha Bluff, Iâm âbout to steal the show on camâ from the openinâ cut!
Open-and-shut!
This a homiâ - he can turn a biscuit to a Body like the Eucharist
Against Cortez, he like, âUnload, reload: switch the laundry!â - too legit
Is your tool legit?
Did you even use the clip?
Talkinâ âbout âunload, reloadâ, but you skip the part where you shoot the shit?
Aye, if he shootinâ the shit, he movinâ his lips
âCause I ainât heard nothinâ âbout the Llama clappinâ, jogginâ packs in laundromats
Come off of that
Organik tried to hand you the keys...and I still never lost ground like Colin Kaepernick knees
Donât give me attitude!
I preach what I practice
This little fucker spent three weeks in the mirror, tryinâ to practice to preach
Come on, Oakland, lemme show you so youâll actually see
âCause he be laughinâ in the setups, you know, flashinâ some teeth
Then heâd get serious, heâd throw his elbows back, and he leans!
It adds hype! Thatâs bad, right?
âCause the shit sounds like itâs gonna land when itâs weak!
Iâm that nice!
BOO! You are the campus police!
Plus, you duckinâ him so hard that this is like disaster (Dizaster) relief
You out here actinâ elite
You are an altar boy, you little shit
You shouldâve known you couldnât hold a CANDLE to me!
Letâs really talk!
You piggybacked a name off staff
But when you stand in front of me, that little game stops fast
âCause you can yell, but Iâm developed
Shit, the Undertaker did thousands of sit-ups in the ring, and he still ainât. Got. Abs!
They cannot save you, Kimzy - go and pray on that
FLEX!
[Round 1: A. Ward]
I said, my Rebuttal Game Crazy!
I really ainât know what to do witâ this
Threw up the religious terms, the Eucharist
âThe unload, the reload, you ainât shoot the shitâ
We actually kinda cool, so...letâs shoot the shit
Lemme talk to him
[Madflex]
I said that
[A. Ward]
I mean, yâall see how I move witâ the crew?
The Rebuttal Game still Crazy
He brought up âJerseyâ?
I never choke, unless I do it to YOU!
You goinâ...
As far as main-event battles on this card go, we both know that you and I should be mentioned
But they wanted to show Madâ and A. (matinee) early
Well, cool, letâs give âem the price of admission
Town Bidness? Everybody you keep around timid
How dare he (dairy) push the beef to the side: we cow-tippinâ
This ainât that loud âBOW! BOW!â for the crowd, Iâm mild witâ it
Stylistic, wild different
Heard he rep his town proud âtil...he on the ground witâ it
Obituary didnât say he love the Bay...it said he was found in it!
They said I canât see Flex âcause heâs next
The cheap threats were weak
Iâm deep West
If heâs best, youâve regressed the scene
I beat vets - Geech? Yes
P (pee) test was clean
Thatâs a sweep!
These vets have regrets, and see, Flex, you three steps beneath, capice!?
As sure as David had to slay Goliath, you shouldâve stayed inside
âCause if you donât steer clear, like Asian drivers
Foxhound gotta say good night to they favorite writer
When you get clocked out like you ainât retired
And your team gotta pick up Flex like the waiver wire!
Iâm that nice!
We not done yet
Thereâs a lot more advice left to give him
See, you wanted this battle judged
Feelinâ âoverlookedâ as the next contender
So the fantasy football reference got a deeper message witâ it
âCause ever since my GZ, ironically, Iâve been the Franchise
Addinâ me was their best addition
And we donât know if you wide receiver or running back
In other words, anybody could be up here in Flex position
Letâs talk!
Every mid-round free nice, too
Yâall know worthy
He said I said âFlexâ five times
Well, the sixth time was nasty like Toronto dirty
Letâs get it in!
You donât like me? Chill
Well, my price keep goinâ off
They take half off your check: a Nike deal
So how are you from the Bay Area, and Iâm the one that give âem the high fee (hyphy) feel?
Aye, The Saurus, it was terrible, the setup was unique
Because I chose to punch on 3 like Tyreek Hill!
Letâs talk!
The chain mine! Ainât no stoppinâ that
Man, you just a white Alex Jenney, a stan, up here mockinâ Pass
But let Flex tell it, he be in the gym, and his punches Creed-like in a boxing match
Well, you know what? Forget Aaron!
Why donât you hit up Norbes, spam Beasley, go talk to Smack?
You got a better chance over there makinâ paper tryna off his staff!
But we in business right now, so no runninâ tonight - Iâm just gonâ walk it back
I said Dwight, Stan, mocking, pass
Jim, Andy, Phyllis, Creed, talking smack
Erin, Pam Beesly, mocking, pass
You see how we makinâ paper with The Office staff!?
I had to take a deep breathâŠ
That was crazy...no, thatâs what she said
(*points to a woman in the crowd*)
[Guy in the crowd]
Talk that Michael Scott paper shit!
[A. Ward]
Iâve been in my bag, ever since I got the pen and the pad
You already knew I told God, afterwards, Iâm upset, irritated, stricken with wrath
In other words, Iâm just sendinâ Him (synonym) Madâ!
Now go ahead, spit your out-of-context Bible bars
Pretend that you way too clever
Battling me already made you better
Round 1
[Round 2: Madflex]
Aye...not that much bite
But they likinâ how you bark, they amazed
Aye, where the bouncers at? Did you check his arms and his legs?
Did you check his palms and his waist?
Did you check the jaw on this face?
Everybody, hop on Facebook and mark yourself safe
If you donât say âfuckâ for two more rounds, then donât play witâ me
Bitch, I know a cupcake when I see one like Baby D!
Who you talkinâ to? It ainât to me
I will make a corpse of Ward
âCause you leavinâ a lot to be desire- this a storage war?
Shit, I been in these streets
Iâll stomp a bright crimson release from a Jordan 4
Blood on the porcelain floor
You can see his sticky fingers (Sticky Fingaz) shoot right through the roof like the Source Awards!
Itâs over!
What you known for? Talkinâ through peopleâs rounds?
How âbout I let you do it once, Ward?
Hereâs how it works - I pick a bar you wrote, you say it once more
Iâll say the setup - youâll know it
You just say the punch, Ward
Here it goes, clear and slowâŠ
âIâve got a little bit of everything likeâŠâ
Like the what, Ward?
You wrote it, you know itâŠ
(Itâs cominâ, itâs cominâ, itâs cominâ)
Iâll take it from here!
Heâs âgot a little bit of everything likeâŠâ
Like the junk drawer
[A. Ward]
Where ya get yâall scissors at
[Madflex]
I know
Right now, you thinkinâ, âSon, thatâs wack.â
You right...but Iâm still gonna run that back!
I got a LITTLE bit of EVERYTHING like...what the FUCK, Ward!?
You know whatâs in the junk drawer?
I donât know - fuckinâ JUNK, Ward!
First time in my life, Iâm thinkinâ, âMaybe I trust Ward...â
Shit, God knows you never find a good pen in the junk drawer!
Look at his face!
Iâm gonna run it back!
He got a little bit of everything like the- what the fuck, Ward?
Shit...I need to pick up now, you assholes
I said, uh...oh, yeah, I said it already
I said, God knows you never find a good pen in the junk drawer
Look at his face - he like, âShut the fu- shut the front door!â
Yo, itâs about to be a long grievance for this harsh beating
Buck-fifty, Kimzy get cut up the spine into five like the Psalm pieces
Dipshit! This chip? Not leavinâ
I will slap Earth, Wind, and Fire out yoâ ass âtil yoâ mom bleedinâ
The next nightmare you have is gonna double as a palm reading!
I seen it!
This a red alert
He speedinâ, âtil the clutch reverse
He preachinâ like he runninâ church
But he leavinâ under shoveled dirt
I got no problems witâ the convictions of the Father, I mean, JesusâŠShuttlesworth!
Donât get FUCKINâ HURT!
Boy, you have been average from the start
Me? Iâve been scratchinâ off more marks than the desk of a freshman
Iâm pressinâ, Iâm settinâ precedence
A decade came, and went and they still countinâ on children like collectinâ the Census
Start collectinâ your senses!
Theyâll see it took 20 battles for you to cuss to get some attentionâŠ
And thatâs why we all look down on a Horseman like Red Dead Redemption!
Why donât you help him, Saynt?
Yâall Yellow Tape, so start airinâ on the side of caution
Or else itâs yellow tape around that man - thatâs Aaron on the side of Caution
Boss shit! Strong kick - southern chili
Donald Trump - I canât believe he brought some noisy windmill here thatâs gonna kill me
Really? You fire?
Iâm much more
Iâm always gonna end up on top...you know, like your fuckinâ junk drawer, you asshole!
Fuckinâ Flex!
[Round 2: A. Ward]
I said, in that last round, Madâ was smokinâ
Itâs just unfortunate that it was a âgood penâ that had you chokinâ
Like, âHarlem Hospitalâs givinâ beds out...Ha-Harlem- hold on, I gotta pick up where I left offâŠâ
You know what?
I looked at this card, and I saw Geechi, Danny, NittyâŠ
Oh, now yâall wanna hire opps
You see, I coulda easily put Rum with Butter, spendinâ life inside a box
Or punched away Danny Myersâ stock
But I guess, instead, Iâll just Smack Madâ...like when this flyer dropped
You want this advice or not?
I mean, we both above-average witâ the bars
But what you lack is what I pack, and thatâs whatâs attractive to the boss
So why you think they asked me âbout a match-up witâ Dizaster when they called?
Because itâs not just that good pen, itâs performance
And they know we both bound to get active (Aktive) on the card!
Now letâs talk!
They say, âThe BOTZ Champ made it!
Super PAC leader, the fan-favorite!â
Well, over here, you not built for it
So Iâmma show how, as President, youâll (Presidential) retreat, like Camp David
Flex, you a has-been! Iâm too advanced
And we can do written or everything freesâ (freeze) like the computer crashed
And you ainât get the message? I sent it witâ two attachments
Shoot the fair one or chill - choose a path
And we can get it shakinâ before we kick it, like they do with captains
Him better than me? Please! Can you imagine?
Flex swing, I duck: huge disaster (Dizaster)
Then I see him openinâ up: Ooops and Aktive
I threw a fast one, the Second Coming: cue the Rapture
No, it will pop up out the blue like the new Aladdin!
Iâm that nice!
But I also lately like to bring humor into my rounds, because itâs just so contagious
I mean, Charron displayed it witâ the jokes he made about my whole engagement
See, we coulda bet racks on this, Flex!
You couldâve helped paid for my wedding, but you over here withholdinâ papers
So now me and my lady gotta elope to Vegas...like the Oakland Raiders!
[Crowd starts booing and jeering loudly]
[A. Ward]
(*to Madflex*) They gonâ chant 3-0 for you right now (*chuckles*)
Everybody loved my Charron impression
You know I had to mock him witâ the bars
But I already did my impression of you, when I accepted this battle and my name dropped to the bottom of the card
But you know what?!
Since you did that little âjunk drawerâ impression of me...aw, why not?
Yâall wanna learn how to rap like Madflex? (Yeah!)
Well, cool - this is what you have to do
Itâs three things: a forced multi, an NBA player, and a random food
Are yâall ready? (Yeah!)
You told Human:
âI bet everything Elon Musk worth Iâm beyond chuck work
And I can make Dijon mustard outta Iman Shumpertâ
[Crowd hoots and hollers a little for that bar]
[A. Ward]
Lemme tell yâall somethinâ
(Whoa, because heâs Black? Thatâs why he looked li-? Okay)
âForcing multisâ and âlyricismâ is not the same!
More importantly, as a man...is that how you watch the game?
I picture Flex preppinâ for me during the Playoffs like:
âIâm more than tailored to go full Schwarzenegger
And I can make porridge-flavored boiled âtaters outta Gordon Hayward!â
Nah, nah, nah, nah-nah-nah-nah! Scratch that!
âHe donât want smoke like car exhaust
Or the hardest cross will scar his jaw
And itâll make tartar sauce outta Marc Gasol!â
What the hell!?
Aye, yo, thatâs when PNut walks in like, âFlex, how are the bars cominâ?â
Heâs like, âI donât know, Party. Iâm type embarrassed
I mean, I got a line, Iâd like to share it
But I donât know what kinda carrots rhyme with Tobias Harris!â
Oh my God!
Forcinâ all them multis like you too clever!
And you spar with PNut, Fredo, and Reverse, so you could do better
Anger management: to get Madâ this nice, it take a group effort
See, go ahead and spit your jokes
Pretend that you way too clever
Battlinâ me already made you better
Round
[Round 3: Madflex]
Ayo, I hate to break it to you, Kimzy
Secretâs out: we know you a punk
We can change his name to âRay Jâ - he still havinâ problems gettinâ over the hump
Itâs a shock? Probably not
Look how Iâm farinâ against him
What happened to Aaronâs ascension?
They found out I was better in the long run than a barefooted Kenyan
You runninâ amok
"Christian witâ a powerful messageâ has quickly turned to âbitch tripâ for a matter of seconds
Itâs too soon for you, Iâll put goons on you
Iâm statinâ the obvious
They said I wasnât made for an audience
I told âem, âEat a dick. You can wait a few years âtil you process it.â
But A. Ward?
Shit, he out here lookinâ like âcertified âyes manââ is a major accomplishment
The laundry guy - shitâŠ
I bet you if we shout it out, Iâd end up takinâ a spot from him
His only offering will be a timely brush with Death like a paleontologist!
Iâll put his boots in grass roots (grassroots) - Oops (Ooops), he breakinâ the politics
Kimzy...nah, I donât fuck with the Mark of the Beast
This more like the Karma Police
âCause you got all of this material on deck
But these kicks can give you less of a profit (prophet) like the Starbury 3
Auf wiedersehn...
You better hope that I donât even peep the chain
âCause I will Aqib Talib the chain!
Yâall seen the gameâŠ
King of the Dot been givinâ you handouts, and he complains
âCassidy donât need a PG?â
NO! 2,000 people came!
You got the vets - Cortez, Real Deal, DNA
But you not the best, you cheap in wage
They gave you the views - what does that mean today? Nada
Iâm taught to work smarter
Jesus walked on water
A. Ward? Hoppinâ on peopleâs waves!
Aye, somebody tell Johnny to sweep the leg!
Iâll sleep this lame!
Iâll tell you what Kimzy might do...
Shit, he might call out somebody else to minimize what I do
But I got a call-out of my own
Itâs âfuck A. Wardâ - Iâm really tryna talk to...the bitch inside you!
I put you on ice (I.C.E) a while ago like Chillaâs title
Yeaaah, this lesson is about to turn graphic like a childrenâs Bible!
Kill ya idols, steal ya vitals
Itâs fuck favors and fuck haters
I fold more stars at the ankles than Chuck Taylor!
Airinâ the tool, Iâll put a square through the roof like a dumbwaiter
Chalk him out
Letâs talk about how basic ya life is
How you know you got it easy, when you donât even prepare for when the negative times hit
You canceled on Illmac with three days left
Somehow stayed off the plane, and still managed to be labeled a flight risk
I write the day I book my shit, in case of a crisis
We had faith in you, A. Ward
But you get what you paid for
So a faith-based Christian can break down to a science
Letâs apply it
Iâm no battle rap beacon of righteousness
Iâm just built to be a better guy than this
Iâve had two chokes in four years - I didnât even mind the shit
âCause Geechi and Chilla got they paychecks, I provided it
Even with my family on my back, I was writinâ it
Days the Ativan had bad exchanges with the Vicodin
Days I couldnât practice, âcause I had to save a life again
Days the radiation didnât work, but the Heimlich did!
You couldnât LIVE my life!
Pray for both of us, and whine through it
âCause I knelt down to pray, âLord, thank you for the blessings.â
And the Lord said, âYou need to get up! You ainât got TIME for this!â
Iâll throw the first STONE!
âCause I learned a lot from the one David hit Goliath with
You cancelinâ on three daysâ notice on a five-month prep
What would Jesus do in three days?
Heâd notice the occasion and RISE TO IT!
They didnât have a doubt that I would win!
Iâm the face of a title, facinâ nothinâ but the face of entitlement
Itâs not personal, Kimzy
We in Oakland, itâs biz
And you ainât earn my spot, but itâs my spot âcause nobody did!
Bitch, you a straight poser! Flamethrower!
Body count full of slain soldiers!
High risk, low reward, no remorse...GAME OVER!
FLEX!
[Round 3: A. Ward]
I said, we both really nice, so the outcome of this battle, we gonâ make it either way
âI had two chokes in four yearsâ
Whyâd you have to make it three today?
You know Jesus? The guy he was talkinâ âbout all three rounds?
You know, Jesus died at age 33
Thatâs 33 shots from twin Glocks, at sixteen apiece
Which means...yâall know the verse
Madflex, well, he became the champ of his league at age 39
He 30âd Sam Kolt, a damn joke, in 2018, which means...bro, you old as DIRT!
Youâre 40, bro!?
You are 40, bro!?
I just wanna make sure I get it right
So itâs Mad-flex...âcause youâre pissed you gotta stretch before you get in bed at night
So you 40, bro!?
You over here worried âbout who next on a BOTZ plate?
Well, you should be worried âbout makinâ appointments to start checkinâ your prostate!
You 40, bro!?
Look...Iâm not against people battling at an older age
I mean, Head I.C.E is, likeâŠ
You know what, Wolf? My bad - Iâmma plead the Fifth
âCause heâs legit
But you a 40-year-old up-and-comer...up-and-coming to the realization you probably need to quit!
Look at you...the Bearded Assassin
Iâm supposed to fear what heâs rappinâ...
All three rounds, clearly aggressive
Wonât even start to smile
Over there lookinâ like every guy on the Just For Men beard dye kits in the Target aisle
You know what Iâm talkinâ âbout, Flex!
I can tell you ainât even apply that stuff today!
I seen that look on a box before, FlexâŠTouch of Grey!
But Flex chances? Slimmer than a text from your ex with correct grammar
And thatâs why you gettinâ lapped, like the first time that you met Santa
This was a trap at home like the Wet Bandits
Bro, please!
Like your pro teams, Iâll run you out your city âtil Aâs the only one left standinâ!
Iâm that nice!
Bro trash!
Thatâs when I hit a set of ribs - both slabs
Smooth like a pick-and-roll pass from the old Jazz!
Once again, Iâm on the road witâ my notepad servinâ this clone
I could give you a permanent home
Better act like you know, Madâ (nomad)!
Iâm that nice!
What Iâm cookinâ is dope!
Stalagmite: rose from the underground, look at me go!
The bagâs right - âGanik knew what he was bookinâ me foâ!
I backslide - a Christian in Cali, out here lookinâ for smoke!
Got Brian Theman!
Every one of them trash angles the same
Lines about the Messiah reachinâ
I donât rap like that, bro
And guess what? My Christian life ainât always inspired preachinâ and choirs singinâ
Yeah, I did cancel on three daysâ notice
Over the last month, my mind been mobbed witâ all kind of demons, for no rhyme or reason
And Iâm tryinâ to remind myself in my mind that Christ is King
And when life is ripped by the seams, to continue to give thanks because I am breathinâ
But, bro, my prayer life seem like hide-and-seek or the silent treatment
Or maybe He was just late gettinâ back like tired defense
Itâs been rough out here
So thatâs why the hands beatinâ him
He get a round of fire: I camp meeting him
They said Christians canât survive in battle rap witâ how the fans treatinâ âem
But I been steppinâ on toes ever since I brought the Cross over (crossover): Iâm Lance Stephenson!
Letâs talk!
(*Madflex steps on A. Wardâs sneaker*)
Like I said, bro trash!
He did that âcause he know he gettinâ toe-tagged!
Letâs go!
My freestyle CRAZY on the spot! Thatâs divine speech!
So, for the next battle, give me Chillâ at home - Iâll apply heat
Well, you know what? We can reschedule Mac for MASS - hit my line, please!
Or shoot, Iâll handle Pass in Boston like Kyrie!
Look, I ainât come to get personal witâchu
I just brought enough bars for you and every person thatâs witâ you
And tell the next person they can fall in line
Ayo, Oakland, God Is Good (All the time!)
âSup, yâall?
