Here are the lyrics for the Rap Battle I generated



Round 1: Jimmy Carter



Jimmy Carter, here, dropping beats, not bombs,

From the peanut farm to the White House with calm.

Habitat for Humanity, building homes for the poor,

Eradicating diseases, who could ask for more?



Negotiating peace, like it's my prime mission,

Camp David Accords, now that's a vision.

Energy crisis and inflation, I faced it head-on,

A Nobel Peace Prize, yeah, I won one.



Round 2: Muhammad Ali



Muhammad Ali, the greatest, no dispute in the ring,

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, I bring.

Champion of the world, not just once, but thrice,

Against injustice and war, I didn’t think twice.



Rumble in the Jungle, Thrilla in Manila,

My fists do the talk, couldn’t be any realer.

Fighting for Civil Rights, stood against the norm,

Converting to Islam, sparking a reform.



Round 3: Jimmy Carter



Building hope and fighting disease, that's my creed,

With diplomacy and compassion, I lead.

Solar panels on the White House, I was the first,

For renewable energy, I have an unquenchable thirst.



From Iran hostages to energy laws,

I dealt with it all, never paused.

A farmer, a governor, then a prez,

Always serving the people, yes, that's my jazz.



Round 4: Muhammad Ali



I dodged the draft, said no to the war,

My fight was here, with poverty and more.

An Olympic gold medal, I threw it in the river,

For a country that practiced racial sliver.



I talked the talk and walked the walk,

For civil rights, I was the rock.

Philanthropic efforts, long after the ring,

Ali, the People’s Champ, forever the king.
