PowerPoint Rap Battles – George Washington vs The Once-ler Lyrics

George Washington vs The Once-ler – PowerPoint Rap Battles Lyrics

Welcome to America, I’m certain you’re aware of US

The Land of the Free, and yet you think you’re free to tear it up

You dare commit your crimes then hide your eyes but I object to holding fire

I expected far more red in your attire

With the blood on your hands from making all the swans and carp scarce

Sir, Amendment II does not include the right to harm bears

You’re focused on your balance yet you tipped the scales of justice

Wеll if you’re after capital, then that’ll bе your punishment

Ah, King George the Fourth, I’m delighted

And your verse was very nice, so I assume you ordered Hamilton to write it

Unopposed inauguration in elections other races had no say in

Yet the only folks who witnessed you campaigning were the natives

You inspired countrymen to make some new words

Now we have one slur, two slurs, red, white, and blue slurs

But late in life, you wanted slaves to walk free

That’s what you claimed, were you just lying through your false teeth?

My thneeds and your whiskey both relied on laborers

But mine got earnings, the workers keeping Mount Vernon churnin’

Were your servants, they worked tooth and nail to raise your net worth

So I find it funny that you’re the one who died in dentures

I’m well-aware that slavery brought misery

But when I crossed the Delaware I got off on the right side of history

To students I’m a Founding Father figure

They’re not traumatized by Washington’s picture, but by watching your picture!

I saw it and I need to confess I’m having second thoughts on freedom of press

The film’s execs equated greed to success

Then changed the book to take the weight off your chest

And prove that you were always blameless? That’s crazy, unless…

We’ll let history determine if your conscience is clear

So let’s go back to your roots since they’re the only ones here

You were threatening the forest, the Lorax was straightforward in your quarrels

But to get the green, you rested on your laurels

Now those laurels are dead like all the other plants

I know you love blowing smoke, but don’t pretend that you deserve another chance

My cherry tree story was an honest mistake

You chose to clear out a forest for a couple extra copies of my face

He’s right, Mr. Once-ler. Look at yourself, aren’t you ashamed of the things that you do?

Yes I am, but I was taught to succeed at any cost and you know what, Washington? I learned that from you!

Your lust for whiskey business ruled the lives of the public

How is that the life that you wanted? Your brother died of consumption

Yet you taxed the liquor market then you threatened business targets

You had conflicts of interest and an interest in conflict

I’ll concede you brought us peace and affirmed democracy

But not a true one, you owe the Lorax an apology

You claimed to speak for the people, but you whittled down that message

By reducing “democracy” to a pitiful three branches

It’s pretty self-evident you’re nothing but a bigoted, biggering bigwig

You screwed us from the start, Mr. Precedent

I hope you try opposing my thoughts

But in the end, I don’t suppose you care a whole awful lot
