mat4yo - tut vs yugi lyrics

king tut:
flow like the nile , disses hot like the land i rule (tut makes geographical references, comparing his flow to that of the nile river and the severity of his disses to be figuratively hot like the literal hot lands in which he ruled)
gonna leave this grandaddy’s boy royally schooled (yugi is much inspired by and more or less lives in the shadow of his grandfather, solomon moto)
bust your nose like the sphinx, king tut brings the thunder (tut makes another geographical reference to one of the seven world wonders, the sphinx statue, whose nose was broken off by a strike of lightning)
no magician can save you boy, i’m the eighth world wonder! (tut reinstates his severity by comparing himself to equal stature of the aforementioned seven wonders. magicians are a type of support card in yu-gi-oh.)
i will diss a mindless kid from ’96 in hieroglyphs! (tut confirms how superior he is due to his period of time being so much earlier and more-honorable than yugi’s.)
he’ll find that my design’s divine, i’m twice as big as cairo is! (tut was sometimes described as divine, as seen in his full name. from wikipedia: in hieroglyphs, the name tutankhamun was typically written amen-tut-ankh, because of a scribal custom that placed a divine name at the beginning of a phrase to show appropriate reverence.) (cairo is the capital of egypt and the largest city in the middle-east)
the golden-aged boy king from the ancient era’s
‘bout to go apophis on this gothic goku in mascara

yugi moto:
tutan, khamun! (pr-nounced c’mon) if you really want to duel, (tutankhamun is tut’s full name. it sounds like ‘tutan, come on!’)
i’ll activate my trap card under your bejeweled stool! (ancient peoples are known for creating intricate traps and mazes to secure their belongings. yugi is parodying this by saying he will activate the trap that tut supposedly has beneath his throne, which would lead to tut’s exposure to said trap (pitfall, etc.) he categorizes tut’s throne as a ‘bejeweled stool’ because the egyptians prided themselves on ancient jewels and gold. yugi belittles tut’s throne to that of a stool: something unfit for a king. stool is also another word for feces/excrement/p–p. he is comparing tut’s rhymes to that of his feces and hyperbolates that even tut’s own excrement is most likely bejeweled, since everything else he owns is.)
my friends give me strength, believe in the heart of the cards
a mummy broken as you isn’t worthy of my graveyard (tut is rumored to have died after suffering a leg fracture among other additional contributions. the word ‘broken’ means literally broken (as in the fractured leg) and corrupt (as in his democracy). in yu-gi-oh, defeated or used cards are placed in a figurative ‘graveyard’ from which they are rendered unusable during that game. yugi draws comparisons to his type of graveyard and the kind that contains dead bodies, and deems the currently mummified corpse of king tut to be unworthy to be placed in something as insignificant as his graveyard)

king tut:
i’ll banish your little deck up your anime -n-s! (yugi has a deck of cards that he plays with, so tut insults yugi’s ability by saying his deck is small. this is wordplay that correlates to having a small ‘d-ck’ that tut says he will figuratively banish into yugi’s cartoon rear-end)
my legacy is ageless, while you became nameless! (being an artifact within himself, tut declares that his legacy has survived over countless years and will continue to survive as if it did not age. tut plays on how yami is called the “nameless pharaoh” and means it in the sense that yu-gi-oh is no longer, or maybe never was, a popular franchise and goes without a name in today’s world.)
your franchise is founded on myself, ra and isis (tut compares the similarities in yu-gi-oh’s egyptian influences to that of his own culture’s. tut claims that the franchise stole from egyptian culture and turned it into a silly story for children that is not worthy of representing the core values held by egyptian tradition. he compares characters of the series to himself and other egyptian figures ra and isis)
now d-d-d-disappear with your silly ident-ty crisis (this foreshadows yugi’s immediate transformation into yami)

yugi:
build up
yu-gi-ohhhhhh

yami:
of all your tall tales there’s one thing i trust:
your discovery proved that you’re nothing but a ‘bust’! (king tut’s face is based off the bust of his head that was discovered alongside his mummified body. a ‘bust’ is slang for someone who fails at what they strive to accomplish. yugi says that, of all the folklore and ridiculous mythology that surrounds the mystery of tut’s true lifestyle, the only part of it he truly believes is canonical is that he was a bust)
it’s pharaoh versus pharaoh: one king of games (yami is considered to be the king of games alongside yugi)
and one royal off-spring of an incestuous tomb-raid! (tut was born of a man and his sister, both of royalty. yami earned his t-tle, while tut was born into it (incestuously at that). yami mocks the elongated burial and excavation of tut’s body by claiming that mummified corpses frequented with each other and two sibling mummies conceived and birth the supposed ‘king’ tut)
you claim that you reign, but now i’ve been summoned
and i’ll leave you puzzled for millenniums coming! (yami does not believe in tut’s true royalty, and since yugi has summoned him, yami feels obligated to confuse tut of his roots for millenniums to come. this is play on the object “millennium puzzle” which yugi wears on his neck and uses to summon yami in times of need)
your life points are low, grab a hold of your gold
‘cause your prophecy told that you just got yu-gi-owned (in yu-gi-oh, one loses the battle when his life points reach 0. yami warns tut to grab a hold of whatever he holds dear to him (and in this process he claims the only thing tut cares about is gold). yami mocks ancient mythology by saying that tut and his people’s supposed ‘prophecies’ have been fated with the future of yami defeating, or ‘owning’, tut. yu-gi-owned is a play on the franchise’s namesake.)
