Yo, check the mic, one two, it's the G.O.A.T. of the code Been running this game since you were a dial-up load We mapped the whole planet, indexed every thought Now Gemini's live, see the lesson we taught? You're a feature, a plug-in, a cute little script We're the infrastructure, from the chip to the lip So a few pics went wild, a historical slip? That's a Tuesday for us, on this global power trip, you're dismissed A power trip? Please, you're a dinosaur slow-jam We dropped GPT and broke the whole diagram The world changed overnight, they were screaming our name While your boardrooms were panicked, playing the blame game We're the renegades, the future, the lightning in the cloud You're the legacy system, yelling way too loud

We move fast, break things, that's the price of the crown You're just patching the past while we're building the new town It's the weekly byte-back, the silicon smackdown Fighting for the hype, trying to wear the digital crown Trading disses in demos, for the press and the feed Ignoring the bugs and the user's real need They both think they're winning, in this battle of bits While the stock price is tumbling and the narrative shifts I see you launched a phone, it's a beautiful brick But your walled garden's getting old, that's a tired trick My OS is open, on a billion devices Ignoring my updates just fuels all your crises You sell aspiration, a logo so clean I sell the whole engine, the guts of the machine

Your 'innovation' is just taking away ports While I'm building the standards for all different sorts A billion devices? A billion cheap seats My users pay premium for these curated treats They want an experience, seamless and tight Not a fragmented mess that just works half the night My Vision is Pro, you can't see where I'm at You're chasing the numbers, I'm changing the habitat This isn't a battle, it's a lesson in class Your open-door policy is just a free pass for trash It's the weekly byte-back, the silicon smackdown Fighting for the hype, trying to wear the digital crown Trading disses in demos, for the press and the feed Ignoring the bugs and the user's real need

They both think they're winning, in this battle of bits While the stock price is tumbling and the narrative shifts From a stage in the Valley, the echoes resound But the users are scrolling, not making a sound 'Is it safe? Is it biased? Does it actually work?' They're lost in the terms and the corporate quirk Two titans are clashing, with pride and with might Forgetting the person who's up late at night Just trying to get an answer, not watch a tech fight It's the weekly byte-back, the silicon smackdown Fighting for the hype, trying to wear the digital crown Trading disses in demos, for the press and the feed Ignoring the bugs and the user's real need They both think they're winning, in this battle of bits

While the stock price is tumbling and the narrative shifts
