Drop The Mic, Gaten Matarazzo, Darren Criss - Darren Criss vs. Gaten Matarazzo lyrics

A kid from Stranger Things rappin'
Hey that's something new
Or should we just get Millie Bobby
Brown in here for you?
Your character on TV's really prepped
You for the future
'Cause by the end of the day
You're best prepared to play a loser
I know you worked from Broadway in fact
I saw your second job
Your performance was le miserable
Or should I say, les Misérables
Listen up, I'm your elder
I'm here to give you lessons
Which is crazy Glee's over
I thought I was done with prepubescents

I grew up watching Glee, and it wasn't good
So this is revenge for ruining my childhood
Ryan Murphy keeps casting you
But here's some clarity
You're so bad at acting
He can write it off as charity
Wrote a Harry Potter musical
And sang every word i'm a nerd
But that's the nerdiest shit I've ever heard
How you made it this far
Is just beyond belief
You've got more gaps in your career
Than I have in my teeth

You know
It's funny how you grew up watching my shows
I guess now I understand
Why your acting blows
Two or three more seasons
And I hear how well it pays
But, if it means I gotta watch you
They oughta give me a raise
Your show's a huge success, I mean
You'd think you were the Clooneys
I just preferred it better back when
It was called The Goonies
In six months, you'll be a flash in the pan
You'll be in line at Chuck E cheese
"Don't you know who I am?!"

Flash in the pan? Well
That must mean that I'm lit
I'm doing circles around you with
Just a learner's permit
I'm a teen who's been on
Broadway almost all my life
Your only claim to fame is karaoke night
And you play a serial killer on cable TV
To be creepy
You don't have to change your personality
2011, you were the Sexiest Man Alive
You know how long ago that was? Back then
I was nine

You're a newbie, you're a rookie
And I'm a seasoned vet
And like all the child actors
Let's get you schooled on-set
I love all the '80s references
That your show did
Like, I can't believe they found
A real-life Cabbage Patch Kid
But bring it back to the future
Ask Google to view
"Whatever happened to them?" Well
That'll happen to you but for now hold on
Let me just get real for a second
Gaten, you know I'm rootin' for
Ya, and for you, greatness calls
And I hope you drop the mic
'cause you've barely dropped your balls!

Oh, Darren raps well, that's so wild
This battle's a Build-A-Bear
'cause you gettin' owned by a child
I starred in your band's last video shoot
I bet people only liked it if
They watched it on mute
And yes, you're a vet, but nobody cares
You covered "Teenage Dream
" it was an adult nightmare
You had no chance tonight against
Me on the stage
'Cause, I'm twice the superstar you are
And half of your age!
