Discord Lyric Submissions Video by Nice Peter - Utopia (Patreon)

Since we started the ERB Patreon back in April 2019, we've opened loads of different writing rooms on the Discord server where patrons can submit lyric ideas for battles.

Some battles that get writing rooms end up being made into actual ERB videos. Some writing rooms are just matchups we want to explore for the future. Some writing rooms open, but will probably never go any further than that. 

No matter what, its always fun to see the ideas that patrons come up with.

One matchup idea we are currently considering is "Karl Marx vs Henry Ford". It's an idea we think has a lot of potential. No idea yet if we will decide to make the battle. 

Nice Peter sat down and recorded a little video of himself rapping a bunch of the submissions. Hope you enjoy it. :)

Here are the lyrics if you need them to follow along whilst watching the video... 

KARL MARX

I taught workers they must seize the means of production

But your assembly line rhymes aren’t worth the abduction 

You did the bare minimum with that five dollar wage.

That’s a whole day’s work for a footlong at Subway.

Bourgeoisie scum hiding as the good Samaritan.

The only Ford that deserves respect is Harrison!

You want to create workers that’ll stay put on the assembly line.

I want to create the revolutionaries that’ll liberate their minds!

I’m inspiring students worldwide to stand up to bourgeoise rule

All you inspire students to do is give up on art school

Call me the master Marxman, I’ll take your fortune and bury it

So get on your knees and get a taste of my dictatorship of the proletariat.

Man that verse was more boring, than the dialectics of Hegel

Bring a better bourgeois bounce back if you’re even able.

Like your failed flying car, my blows will hand

Your weak blows felt like I got hit by an invisible hand

Karl Marx, labor's revolutionary spark

Here to chop up and divide a stingy oligarch

The Stateless Statesman reppin' classless emancipation 

From the fat cat capitalist proletariat enslavement

I am THE political philosopher, in academia I am universally renowned.

You took your workers’ labour unions and drove them into the ground!

I was born with enlightenment, inherited insight from luminaries

So my philosophies mean you Kant get Metaphysical with me

HENRY FORD

Pacifism is my preference, but you’ve gone too far.

I’m gonna flatten your ass to skid-Marx with my car!

Stalin and Mao prove your ideas are bad.

There’s a reason your homies fly a red flag! 

You look like Hagrid! Clean yourself up already!

How can you write about class and not show any?

Your ideas don't work, it's best if people move on

The only fat Karl i respect is the one from Jimmy Neutron

Automobiles fill the streets all because of me

My business plan had that model down to a T

My affordable engines gassed up the economy

So give the horse a break and hitch your wagon to me

I’m laboring to raise a productive middle class.

While all you ever do is whine and sit on your ass!

Well Karl, you steal the credit for work that other people do.

Did your fat beard Engels write these raps for you too?

Henry Ford forges forward with the lines he assembles

You spent your career leeching off your Guardian Engels

I crave industry, efficiency, affiliates - not besties

When I freely associate, it's your face with my testes
