ERB - Thomas Edison vs. Nikola Tesla

  • 0:10 - 0:10
    step up
  • 0:10 - 0:11
    you’ll be shocked
  • 0:11 - 0:12
    when I spit and start static
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    I’ll rip your style and add it
  • 0:14 - 0:15
    to my long list of patents
  • 0:15 - 0:16
    while you were busy
  • 0:16 - 0:16
    digging ditches
  • 0:16 - 0:17
    and burning bridges
  • 0:17 - 0:18
    I’m pumping out inventions
  • 0:18 - 0:19
    stacking riches
  • 0:19 - 0:20
    so go back to your pigeons
  • 0:20 - 0:21
    you’re a geek
  • 0:21 - 0:23
    plagued by OCD
  • 0:23 - 0:24
    you never had sex
  • 0:24 - 0:25
    but you sure got screwed by me
  • 0:25 - 0:26
    I’ll crush you Tesla
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    there’s just no putting it gently
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    I don’t alternate my flow
  • 0:30 - 0:31
    I diss you directly
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    I see a universe of infinite energy
  • 0:34 - 0:35
    but no potential for threat
  • 0:35 - 0:36
    from this enemy
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    so you can call me Tesla
  • 0:37 - 0:38
    Nikola
  • 0:38 - 0:39
    impeccably dressed
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    giving lessons in electrical nemesis
  • 0:41 - 0:42
    this will be on the test
  • 0:42 - 0:43
    so confess
  • 0:43 - 0:43
    to your thefts
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    and let the whole world know
  • 0:45 - 0:46
    what the Serbian did
  • 0:46 - 0:48
    for the Wizard of Menlo
  • 0:48 - 0:49
    history is getting rewritten
  • 0:49 - 0:50
    and I have reddit
  • 0:50 - 0:51
    your best invention
  • 0:51 - 0:52
    was a way to steal credit
  • 0:52 - 0:53
    the truth hertz
  • 0:53 - 0:54
    you’re broke and washed up
  • 0:54 - 0:55
    don’t give a smidgen
  • 0:55 - 0:56
    ‘bout your visions
  • 0:56 - 0:57
    if they can’t make a buck
  • 0:57 - 0:58
    I conduct business
  • 0:58 - 0:59
    understood
  • 0:59 - 1:00
    things you never could
  • 1:00 - 1:01
    so dope
  • 1:01 - 1:02
    that I even make New Jersey look good
  • 1:02 - 1:04
    I’m on the record I invented
  • 1:04 - 1:05
    you got duped there I said it
  • 1:05 - 1:07
    and I’ll bet you 50 thousand dollars
  • 1:07 - 1:08
    that you’ll never forget it
  • 1:08 - 1:08
    without me
  • 1:08 - 1:09
    here’s a taste
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    of what this battle would be
  • 1:11 - 1:11
    no lights
  • 1:11 - 1:12
    no camera
  • 1:12 - 1:13
    no sound
  • 1:13 - 1:14
    see?
  • 1:14 - 1:15
    you fool
  • 1:15 - 1:15
    you think that you can
  • 1:15 - 1:16
    touch me with this?
  • 1:16 - 1:18
    you couldn’t handle my gifts
  • 1:18 - 1:19
    with your greedy little mind
  • 1:19 - 1:20
    what’s inside mine
  • 1:20 - 1:21
    was ahead of it’s own time
  • 1:21 - 1:22
    you did not steal from me
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    you stole me from mankind
  • 1:24 - 1:26
    it’s a wireless transmission of truth
  • 1:26 - 1:28
    and it’s a shocking real story
  • 1:28 - 1:29
    of a banker and you
  • 1:29 - 1:30
    and if the people knew
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    you stopped me from making power free
  • 1:32 - 1:32
    they would curse
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    the Con-Edison with every utility
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    who won?
  • 1:36 - 1:37
    who's next?
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    you decide
