    We did THE MOST with this rap battle! It's been in the making for almost a year... I have spent countless hours on this production, making every verse unique, making everything sound good. 10 Incredible performers, live strings, even a hurdy gurdy ~ we did it all! Sincerely hope you enjoy it :D

    The This is War truly saga never misses. Everyone popped off. Badministrator is my nerd core GOAT and the Jarvan opening solidified it. Kledds verse was crazy accurate and it’s so much fun to rap along. Xins opening 4 bars were my favorite of the entire cypher. Katarina got me singing along with her. The I came back scheme from Sion was perfect. Vayne had references for days and the breakdown was so good. Leblancs verse was magical but what else you do expect. Samira went S rank. Poppy pushing P was something I didn’t know I needed until now and last but not least Sylas was devilishly delightful. Big ups to all involved.

    [Intro: Badministrator as Jarvan IV]
    Diplomacy's failed us
    We face our greatest trial
    Chaotic empires push the boundaries of our lands for miles
    A snarling Cerberus of villainy would fell our gates
    But heed my word
    To any would-be conquerors, A hell awaits
    I tell it straight
    A tale as old as time, this history repeats
    The legendary exploits of our father's fathers fill the streets
    And every hard fought skirmish pens another chapter line by line
    A brutal dance performed to screams that fade behind our battlе cry (Dеmacia)
    [Verse 1: Badministrator as Jarvan IV]
    This is my home, heir to thе throne
    Fight for my fathеr, The King
    The leader on this battlefield
    You're 'bout to feel the cold of the steel
    When you're trapped in the ring'
    Cause everyone's knows Swain
    That you got no shame
    A demon at heart
    You're dreaming you'll cleave us apart
    But the screams of your teams
    Sounds a grievous alarm (Wake up!)
    This is war, this has happened before
    You should remember the score: 1, 2, 3, 4
    Jarvans defending our lands from the scourge of
    Hyenas and Hordes
    Magician with a mission, evil inciting her people
    To fight with a clever lie
    They've got a plan to vanquish the man
    But what we stand for can never die
    [Verse 2: Justin Bonitz as Kled]
    (Laughter)
    Looks like you're dead
    That's my spear in the back of your head
    When the horn flies, like a driveby
    It's a' General-Admiral Kled!
    May be a small fry, but I'm gunning
    If there's a war then I ain't runnin'!
    Don't get excited
    By the violence
    When I'm fillin' my victim with dread
    And I hit 'em like POW!
    I'm the toughest meanest baddest killer for real
    I'll keep your head in a pillow
    Don't tell me to calm down!
    Take your city like Godzilla
    Swiggin' mushroom juice, I'm chillin'
    Strikin' fear like I'm Atilla
    Skaarl's bite will leave ya' stranded cryin'
    And likely beggin' for penicillin
    I' been through every battle
    Line 'em up like cattle
    Saddle to my lizard - SKAARL
    And then I ride through the front lines!
    'Cause you gotta be tough or die!
    Hate me but I'm comin'
    My halberd - I'm paintin' wih your blood
    I'm an insane man
    Doin' insane things
    Ready to dig graves
    Because I came to bring the pain
    [Verse 3: Valentyne Music as Xin Zhao]
    From the days I was scrubbing the deck of the Viscero
    Following orders with honor and diligence
    Now I be clowning on dudes like I'm cicero
    Monster in combat I ain't gotta mention it
    Seen both sides of the war
    Both sides of the coin
    Which side am I for?
    Who's side should I join?
    (Demacia)
    Yeah that's who I'm repping, so know if you're stepping
    You better bear witness
    I am in general the best in the business
    Spear's an assassin - Your heart's on the hitlist
    You cannot challenge my talent it's endless
    Don't want forgiveness
    'Cause I preach my sins, get a crescent sweep
    When I reap my wins, and you best now sleep
    'Cause I keep locked in, on my goals I leap
    Like an E on Xin
    And I should have known that Jarvan really needed me
    Proven that Sylas could not have defeated me
    Conscious conceded, can't say that conceitedly
    Hated his death, and I played it repeatedly
    Up in my mind
    And I cannot hide it, lost my life, 4th helped me find it
    Blaze of a warrior reignited
    So here's a tip - And a spear behind it
    [Verse 4: HalaCG as Katarina]
    I fight middle but you're all that's mid
    When I pop in I'm good to hit 'em quick
    Seeing me move and their confidence dips
    Yea, uh
    Sinister bitch, spikes on the wrist
    There's no returning from something like this
    Catch that death lotus and you get eclipsed (Yeah)
    Blood splatters, couple daggers
    Integrated witchachest
    Yoruichi with the teleport
    I hit the shunpo then I leave a mess
    On the battlefield ain't nobody meaner
    Got me dancin' through it like a ballerina
    When I throw it up don't avert ya eyes
    If you disengage - It's a suicide
    Switch lanes, making plays
    Throwing knives, it's not an act
    Breeze through like a hurricane
    Until I topple foes with a slash
    Blackout - Spaz out
    Turning blood into a bathhouse
    Slinging metal, like a sharp petal
    Screams echo when I lash out
    [Verse 5: AntiRivet as Sion]
    Another for the pile
    There was a time
    Where war had no more than an order to get out alive
    There were no scores and those warlords
    Craved only the will to survive, hate in their eyes
    They remained vigilant for that desire
    Swimming in bodies
    And sick with the viscera
    Caught in their misery
    Straight to the fire
    Falling on blades, they held those positions
    Parents and children who died in the millions
    They screamed to the Heavens 'til their bones cracked
    I slaughtered them all and then I came back
    I burned every village - Then I came back
    I levelled their cities - Then I came back
    I fought them until we were gored
    And put to the sword
    They went to their lord
    But notice the difference between us is
    I came back
    [Verse 6: Nicki Taylor as Vayne]
    That demon took everything from me
    Left me an orphan with money
    Stepped through the door
    Two on the floor
    Rage at the core
    And my vision went bloody
    But I paid attention - My parents said listen
    "Get on a ship then, go north where it's frozen
    Look for Avarosians" - I did it
    I trained every day, I got put in the frey
    Now I'm clearing the way, every demon I slay
    Is a testament to my resentment
    None of them innocent, now they bear witness
    The peak of my fitness
    I made it my mission to save
    (Demacia)
    I take a shot, and you know that I got 'em
    My name ain't Lucci but I'm steady Robin
    These jokers and demons get bolts for the scheming
    There is no deceiving the huntress, I'm cleaning
    The streets of Demacia. When I sneak up
    Call me Bruce Vayne, when I hit the lane
    Now that it's me that they all want a piece of
    I am the vengeance, I am the night
    I'm putting holes in all demons in sight
    I will not rest, there is no recompense
    All that my enemies get is the stillness of death
    I gap close, I was forged to live in the shadows
    Now I stay dropping foes in the back rows
    And I do it without wearing bat clothes
    [Verse 7: Rena as LeBlanc]
    I'm making moves from behind every scene
    I make that magic happen on and off of the screen
    They say that it only takes a little spark in the dark
    To light a powder keg - Now revolution's my art
    So boom
    I'm holding positions with every decision
    So double that vision, I'm on a mission
    That's only beginning with a deposition
    Every victory, every mystery
    Set by the symmetry of my duplicity
    Is it a wonder that Jarvan's so into me?
    Better not blink
    You're stuck in a gimmick, so easy to mimic
    Just what did you think?
    I'm leaving the evidence only when evident
    Look at you sink, into the web of a deepened deception
    I'm making connections and taking possession
    Of every possession, I'm keeping you guessing
    Now you're on the brink
    [Verse 8: FrivolousShara as Samira]
    This can't be survivor's guilt
    Watched from the window, the life we built (Burn)
    And all that I could feel
    Was hatred for not doing more to turn the tide
    We don't do fear anymore
    Lining these streets with these bodies galore
    Vengeance is mine - And I'm coming for yours
    As a performer the show must go on
    I bounce back like a warband
    Hit you from the left with my right hand
    That's a thorn in your side (Aah!)
    Indra I'll go for the ride (Aah!)
    Bullets on bullets on bullets
    Like black powder
    I'll smoke 'em and turn 'em to ash
    A daredevil, I stare death in the face and
    Hell I laugh
    This is my ultimatum
    I walk right through the flame
    Just know your time is borrowed
    When you find someone that kills for the thrill
    You had better run
    (Demacia)
    [Verse 9: LilyPichu as Poppy]
    No Pokémon - But the shield in hand
    See these pigtails? Bitch I'm goin' ham
    Pop up on ya, now ya feeding ya potluck
    Ya picked ya fate and now it's costin' you Noxus (Ugh)
    Bitch it's Poppy, I'm pushin' P
    Put ya posse where they 'posed to be
    If you oppose me, you'll be pushin' posies
    I'm apollo fresh how I'm JoJo posing
    Don't you get too cozy, I ain't ever folding
    I was bred for battle, every hit's encoded
    Everywhere I'm goin' all the rumors spoken
    Might be true - Now I feel like Thordle
    This is War-Hammer, I go Kugisaki
    With with this cursed hammer
    Strike ya ear, drums goin' blammer
    Bars hotter than a Hellhammer
    I'm packin' force that go back and forth
    It's like Smash Bros how I crack the floor
    Devastating blows my retort
    Now ya whole team seems out of sorts
    [Verse 10: Lewbae as Sylas]
    Now it's my recourse - I'm the antimage
    Black clover swords, the revenge-seeker
    Murder binge of the sneaky link: Just call me Kurapika
    Might just sing-a, bout any bout where the magic flows
    Check the match I'm cold
    Got a blackstone on my shroud - I'm cloaked
    I got 2 Chainz everywhere I go
    Hope for the hunted - Defund it, the rogue
    I'm Demacia's touchiest subject
    Came to the claw for the toughest
    And yanked the restraints of the laws that I trusted
    What's the goal that I aim for?
    The day that the mages will pray for!
    Same war - Came for
    Death to befall on you J. IV
    Got a grip on the crown, I can taste it
    You twitch on the ground like a rat - But you ate it
    Off the leash, I'm off the chain
    Revolution: Bringing change
    I got three skills that I'm combo-chaining
    Two skills, that's for combo-breaking
    One skill to hijack the buff
    The plot has thickened
    I got zero fucks

    Eight and a half minutes of goosebumps. I've always looked forward to each This is War, and I've yet to be disappointed. Amazing work like always, the singers, the texts, the video. I really thought the opening was an add for a game or so, that's how clean it was.
