Nikola Tesla vs. Thomas Edison lyrics

[Thomas Edison]

Step up, you'll be shocked when I spit and start static

I'll rip your style and add it to my long list of patents

While you were busy digging ditches and burning bridges

I'm pumping out inventions, stacking riches, so go back to your pigeons

You're a geek, plagued by OCD

You never had sex, but you sure got screwed by me

I'll crush you Tesla, there's just no putting it gently

I don't alternate my flow, I diss you directly

[Nikola Tesla]

I see a universe of infinite energy

But no potential for threat from this enemy

So you can call me Tesla, Nikola, impeccably dressed

Giving lessons in electrical nemesis, this will be on the test

So confess to your thefts and let the whole world know

What the Serbian did for the Wizard of Menlo

History is getting rewritten and I have reddit

Your best invention was a way to steal credit

[Thomas Edison]

The truth hertz, you're broke and washed up

Don't give a smidgen 'bout your visions if they can't make a buck

I conduct business, understood things you never could

So dope that I even make New Jersey look good

I'm on the record I invented, you got duped, there, I said it

And I'll bet you fifty thousand dollars that you'll never forget it

Without me, here's a taste of what this battle would be

No lights, no camera, no sound. See?

[Nikola Tesla]

You fool, you think that you can touch me with this?

You couldn't handle my gifts with your greedy little mind

What's inside mine was ahead of its own time

You did not steal from me, you stole me from mankind!

It's the wireless transmission of truth

And it's a shocking real story of a banker and you

And if the people knew you stopped me from making power free

They would curse the con Edison with every utility
