CM Punk flipped the script on John Cena, coming out in an old-school Cena-like mode to deliver a rap on this week’s WWE Smackdown. Friday’s show saw Punk interrupt Cena in the main event, rocking a jersey, chain and “Drug Free” knucks as he came down to the ring to deliver a rhyme in a rebuke to Cena after Cena riffed on Punk’s “pipebomb” promo on last week’s show.
Punk mocked Cena in his rhyme, which was the final segment between the two before they compete for Cena’s Undisputed WWE Championship at Night of Champions on Saturday. The full text of Punk’s rap is below (h/t to Fightful for the transcription):
“Don’t adjust your television set, your eyes are working just right.
This clown plagiarized my pipebomb so now I’m stealing Word Life
You had to rip me off to cut your best promo
To distract from the fact that we all see you move in slow mo
Remember when you used to rap, yeah, you deserve all the criticism, you’re like a Temu Macklemore, but with Mackleless rhythm
He said I’m a problem, he called me a player hater
Let’s be honest, John Cena has buried more talent than The Undertaker
That’s why he’s the champ and he went and lost all his respect
Hey, John, I get it, I’d retire too if this place re-hired my ex
If you never said your prayers, ate your vitamins or fixed your bald spot, you wouldn’t be a pro wrestler, you’d be a Boston mall cop
He gets good movie roles, that much is a fact, but when we see Batista act, we realize John ain’t that
Same shirt, same hat, your persona stays tragic
You’re like a fish-belly white Hulk Hogan but somehow more problematic
When it comes to Best in the World, I’m your vessel
Millions chant my name and at you they chant, ‘You can’t wrestle’
Get it in while you can, in six months he’ll gone and I’ll still be here having fun
He won’t have time for you little people anymore, he’ll be busy washing underwear for James Gunn
He’s a superhero now, he words for DC, but no matter how hard you try, you’ll still always be The Marine to me
That’s straight to DVD, you better find a PS3, I now understand ‘You can’t see me’
It’s a hell of a catchphrase John, but now it’s all done because we all see you and we’re looking at a washed up bum
14 years ago today, I dropped the legendary pipebomb and you tried to make it all about you because that’s what you do, John
You’re a leech, you’re a phony, you’re a fraud, you’re an ass kiss
17-time world champion, but ain’t never been in my class
Before you go, John, there’s one more wish to make
Tomorrow night, you’re going to lose to Kendrick because bitch, you’re my Drake”
