Epic Rap Battle: Thomas Malthus vs Yuan Longping v4

[Voice 1]Yo, yo, yo, Thomas Malthus is the name,
I’m dropping bars fast like the population gains!
Whatchu know bout Darwin? I’m the OG scientest
Agronomy, demography, I’ll put your defense to rest
[Voice 2]Alright sit down Malthus, ever heard of Cornucopian theory?
Your pessimistic arguments are so dreary, they make me weary
Now when I tell you this I hope you don’t get teary
Cause human ingenuity and growth always keep us busy
[1]You think its all sunshine but your models just don’t function
You know it’s gonna be over when we hit that final junction
Think about it, bro, the limit’s capped logistically
Hunger’s geometric, but food grows arithmetically
[2]8 billion people and you’re telling me none
Are gonna rise up to the occasion before this war is won?
Every upgrade, every win, every rice plant under the sun
When population reaches food supply you know we gonna outrun
[1 - build energy]Rice is cool, but how bout global warming?
Ocean’s rising, but yeah, just keep on farming
I hate to tell you this but soon you’ll come back running—
“We’re sorry, Malthus, We didn’t heed your warning!”
[1- fast rap]You go to sleep in the night and then you wake in the light of the sun as it rises in the morning
If you don’t listen to me, if you must disagree, you’ll spend the rest of your life mourning
In the history of man ain’t no one’s ever had a plan that boosted food production enough to stop my snoring
I’ll lie peaceful in my grave cause no one’s good enough to save the world from imminent inexorable warring
[vocals pause]
[2 - soft]Oh buddy…
Well, I think it’s funny, honey, how your world ain’t so sunny
Cause I’m 袁隆平 givin you a run for your money
While you busy over there being a chud, being bummy
Let me tell something bout what I’ve been doing, sonny
[2 - rhythmic, fast]I cultivated new strains of rice when they said it was unthinkable
My rice and research are so solid they are near unsinkable
The Great Leap Forward ain’t nothin on me cause I am revolutionary
A revolution so profound you could say it’s evolutionary
[1]You think you’re so great, I guess that’s a song you sing
These facts that I’m spittin are so deep I bet they sting
In a battle of wit? Don’t even, 我会赢
袁隆平? 看起来不太聪明
[2]Antithetical, your words are pathetic
Regrettable, your cut is barbaric
[1]Keep that bark in your mouth like China’s GLF
Come on man, don’t act deaf, don’t bother calling the ref
[2]What’s the plan then? Leave our problems to fester?
[1]Ever heard of Darwin? Sure, let me teach you a lesson
[2]See, that’s the issue man, all you do is sequester
[1]Just you wait and see—call it natural selection
[2]What’d you say? Natural selection?
Yeah, man, don’t go in that direction
I lived during the GLF
Some might say I cheated death
Boy, I ain’t deaf but you sure are blind
Don’t you see these strains I find
My work unconfined, combined, you’re declined–
(lined) Up at my doorstep for rice that’s one of a kind
My legacy refined, I hear you whine
As my footsteps leave you far behind
