Sir Isaac Newton vs Bill Nye lyrics

[Isaac Newton]

Of all the scientific minds in history

They put Beaker in a bow tie up against me?

I'm a master; I discovered gravity

I drop rhymes like they're falling from an apple tree

You're no match for me, you got a bach degree

I got a unit of force named after me

You wanna battle, guy? That's a crazy notion

When I start flowing, I stay in motion! First law!

Did you catch that? Or did it go too fast to detect?

Perhaps it'd be better if I added in a bleep or a bloop or another wacky sound effect

I was born on Christmas, I'm God's gift

I unlocked the stars that you're dancing with

You waste time debating creationists

While I create the science you explain to kids!

[Bill Nye]

Yes, it's true, what I used to do is teach kids science on my PBS show

But now I do what I gotta do to make sure scientific thought can grow

And I'm still in my prime, hitting my stride

What'd you do with the back half of your life?

You freaked out, started counting coins for the bank, and you sure didn't have no wife

You wrote the book on gravity, but you couldn't attract no body

Your work on orbits was exemplary, but your circle of friends was shoddy

You don't wanna mess with the guy, Bill Nye! (Why?)

I rap sharp like a needle in your eye! (Oh!)

Stick to drinking that mercury

'Cause I hypothesize that you're about to get beat!

[Isaac Newton]

Well, I conclude that your methods are the wackest

You wouldn't even pass in one of my classes

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

Except for when we both start rapping

I accelerated the mind of mankind to a higher plane of understanding

And I can calculate the weight and the size and the shape

Of the shadow of the mind you're standing in

And I will leave you with a page from a book I wrote at half your age to rebut

The integral sec y dy from zero to one-sixth of pi

Is log to base e of the square root of three times the sixty-fourth power of what?!

[Neil deGrasse Tyson]

Why don't you pick on a brain your own size? (Own size!)

We got a badass over here! Plus, I got your back, Nye

Astrophysics black guy, Hayden Planetary fly

By the way, the answer to your little calculation is "i"

As in "I" put the swag back in science

While Isaac Newton was lying and sticking daggers in Leibniz

And hiding up inside his attic on some Harry Potter business

The universe is infinite, but this battle is finished.
