knockout

(Record scratch, a hard-hitting boom-bap beat drops, an MC's voice booms)

"Yo, we're back in the ring! The lyrical titans clash once more! Get ready for 'Round Two Rhyme Rumble! In the green corner, the laid-back legend, Marijuana! And in the amber corner, the life of the party, Alcohol! Let's get it!"

(Verse 1 - Marijuana)

Yo, Alcohol, still stumbling? Thought I laid you to rest.

My flow's too smooth, too easy, put your whole game to the test.

You brag about the party, but forget the morning pain,

Headaches, bad decisions, washing down the drain.

I'm the conscious choice, the chill vibe, the mind's slow unfold,

Your tales are messy chapters, quickly bought and sold.

You make folks loud and reckless, losing all control,

I bring deep introspection, nurturing the soul.

So dim your bright lights, spirits, your buzz is fading fast,

The green era's rising, built to truly last.

(Chorus - Marijuana & Alcohol trade lines)

Marijuana: Round two, no doubt, the true champ's on the mic!

Alcohol: Hold up, green dream, you ain't got no real might!

Marijuana: I'm the calm and clarity, keeping spirits light!

Alcohol: I'm the life of the moment, burning ever so bright!

(Verse 2 - Alcohol)

Alright, grass, you talk calm, but you got folks stuck in a trance,

Watching paint dry for hours, missing every chance.

I'm the spark in the silence, the laughter, bold and free,

Unleashing inhibitions, for all the world to see.

You're for quiet contemplation, sitting still and thinking deep,

I'm for grand adventures, secrets that we keep…

…from the boring world, the mundane, the routine and the slow,

I ignite the passion, making wild spirits grow.

You preach about peace, but sometimes folks just need a blast,

A night they won't forget, that's designed to always last!

(Chorus - Marijuana & Alcohol trade lines)

Marijuana: Round two, no doubt, the true champ's on the mic!

Alcohol: Hold up, green dream, you ain't got no real might!

Marijuana: I'm the calm and clarity, keeping spirits light!

Alcohol: I'm the life of the moment, burning ever so bright!

(Bridge - Both)

Marijuana: My essence is ancient, wisdom in every puff.

Alcohol: I've fueled revolutions, when things get truly rough!

Marijuana: No morning after agony, just a gentle ease.

Alcohol: I bring the good times roaring, blowing in the breeze!

Marijuana: I’m the deep connection, what truly understands.

Alcohol: I’m the wild celebration, across all the lands!

(Outro - MC)

"And that's a wrap for Round Two! The crowd's electric, the battle's intense! Who landed the knockout blow? You decide!"

(Beat fades out with a final record scratch and crowd cheers)
