They call you man of steel now,
Stalin, must feel good at this point, when I fell
You think you won?
Only time will tell
This is my end
But let me tell you about my start
I didn't bend to anyone
Ever since I quit the art
Yes I was an Austrian painter
But destiny had in plan for me, something far greater
When I was a young man
Germany was breaking
Britain and France controlled the world
But I wasn't the one shaking
They were
Scared of my Germany in the making
They imposed a huge debt on my land
Made my Germany poor, while their hand was robbing all the colonial earth and gold
Britain and France owned 25% of the world
Doing countless crimes, while their own people were poor and crying,
They were eradicating millions of Australian natives,
My Germany also, by their hand was dying
Once great empire now becoming starved and thin
Even more so
Berlin was called the capital of sin
The place of all degeneracy
And this would keep happening
Till the end of all diplomacy
If it wasn't for me.
While Britain and France invaded 25% of the world, had whole nations as their colonies, committed dozens of genocides all over the Earth, all over the place
I just wanted to create a living space, for Germans
So I got in power
I was already far behind right at the start of this race
But I didn't care what trouble I would face
I gained power in Germany and suddenly
I realized my place
Germany was tiny and poor compared to superpowers of that day
But I found a new way
And very soon Germany was catching up
After I got in power and became German leader
Economic miracles happened
Living standards far greater
Germany was richer
The people were happy
When I invaded Austria,
People there greeted me with flowers
My army greeted as liberators, not conquerors
And then, before all this quake,
you and I made a plan
But plan turned out to be fake,
For me a big mistake
The plan was simple
We divide Europe, and each gets its piece
But when you and I invaded Poland, France and Britain declared war on me but not on you, red brat - and you enjoyed that
When France declared war on me,
France was second largest colonial Empire in the whole world
Far bigger than my Germany ever could
But instead of just surrendering
Me and my general Erich Von Manstein
Came up with a master plan
We invaded France by blitzkrieg, our innovative strategy
And in just one month
Second largest colonial Empire
Was wiped off the world map
The world was shocked
What was left was Britain
I was a lion on the battlefield
It took your USSR over 3 months
To defeat very tiny Finland
It took me just 30 days
To wipe out huge France
Country far bigger than my own
No one could match German war
It was the moment of true grace
I made a war strategy
Which is still applied today
And will be forever
Blitzkrieg is a German invention
And they say now that Germans are clever
But you saw an opportunity
The plan we made together wasn't enough for you
You wanted to have German land too
So you prepared 2.6 million Soviet solders
Placed right at German borders
I didn't want war with USSR
But I realized it's inevitable
When I see you pointing a gun at me
I won't wait for you to pull the trigger
I would rather be the first to fire the shot, and this time my target was bigger
You prepared 2.6 million soldiers to attack Germany
But I saw through your plan
And I striked first
In just one day, your entire army of 2.6 million at my border
Was dead or captured
You went on full retreat like a cowardly French soldier
You ran away all the way back to Moscow
And for 2 years, you were losing battle after battle
But even before the war
Your people lived like cattle
You starved Ukraine and committed genocide there
When your soldiers were raping women
You said "let the boys have fun"
I may be remembered as a war criminal
But you are also one
Your USSR was constantly poor
My Germany was rich
If we fought one on one
I would make you my bitch
But we fought twenty on one
I fought on 7 fronts and you were just one
I fought against 4 superpowers and two dozen other countries
All of them on me one
And the funny part is, I almost won
I was outnumbered 20 to one
But I still lost less soldiers in this war
Than you
Your army was bigger than mine but still suffered much greater losses
You were losing but fine
Do you know why you even won?
USA sent you a thousand planes and ten thousand tanks
No one sent me any help
And I was still so close to wiping your ranks
Like I wiped off France where I was also outnumbered in tanks and guns
On this battlefield, I was the lion
I took you all on
And still lasted 5 years, and almost won
You were just a coward who had a lot of help
My army captured your son
But as leader with honor, I offered you deal to be done
Your son for one German leader
A more than fair trade
But you said "Let my son die, I don't care".
You didn't give a fuck about your son or your people
At least I loved my own
You loved no soul
While my people were chanting my name in adoration, waving flags of black, white and red
Your people were starving
Wishing you were dead
I may have lost the war, but I will always be remembered as one who was great in that war
You will be remembered as someone who hated his own people and made everyone poor
You accuse me of war crimes and invasions
While you yourself invaded entire North East Europe,
Finland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania
And your ally "Britannia"
invaded entire America, Asia and Africa
You want to put me on trial for war crimes
First put yourself and all your allies there
"Accuse them for that which we are guilty of"
That was your game
You faked that allies were saint
But in this war, there were no good guys, no one was morally great
But history is written by victors
And you won by just some plot twist of fate
You won by luck, and with your backwards country
While you were all still flying propellers and living in stone age
I invented jet planes
German technology
Was decades ahead of it's age
I invented a rocket which can hit Britain,
While you didn't even know what long range rocket was, I understand the rage.
Reality was
I came close to win
But when fighting 1 vs. 20
Even master strategy and technology isn't enough
But still I was afraid of none
I fought like Spartan
While you were always on the run
Now enjoy your victory, it's a temporary fun
Your crappy Soviet Empire
Will fall apart
And it will be torment
You hated your own people, hated your own son,
He was hoping you will save him
But you loved not even him, you loved none
I entered a war I didn't want to fight
But it was forced moves, even if my first move seemed right
I didn't expect of you to betray me at all
But you even betrayed your own blood, so my faith in you was my downfall
We could have overthrown old world powers and create new world orders
But you wanted to join them
For it, sacrificed your own son and soldiers
Just so you could take German land and borders
Was it worth it?
Throwing your own people in the pit
Just so you could sit with allies because you calculated they were greater in size
So you already made victory plan
And Berlin was the prize
Your own people had a sigh of relief after you died, after your demise
My people cried when I died
They were fighting with me till the end
Even when they knew how it ends
That we can't win
They stayed with me and followed me through hell
While your people were cursing your name
My people worshipped me and for me they fell
I wrote "my spirit will rise from the grave"
Allied victory was temporary
The future brought another wave
75 years later
Everyone's forgotten Stalin
They remember him
Only as some insane dictator
Someone like Kim
And his Russia is still a shithole
Governed by Putin
Let this rap battle be concludin
It may seem like you won
But all you fought for is gone
What's left are just traces of your sinning
While ideas I invented kept going, they kept living
Now your country is compared to Hitler's Germany, oh what a whim
Country who fought against Hitler now looks like him
The great power of the totalitarian state
Is that others must copy it or experience bad fate
Yes, I quote myself, I was also considered the greatest orator,
You were great at nothing
Just an impersonator,
People loved my speeches
Your speeches were just boredom
Something people can't wait to end,
My speeches made people chant my name, hails were sent
As we are approaching the rap battle's end and time is still flowing towards it's final, I tell you,
Don't try to say you weren't going where I was going,
Don't live in denial
If I was a war criminal, so were you
If I invaded countries, so did you
If I invaded you, it's only because you planned to invade me too
But difference between us is,
I actually had someone who I loved, I died for something
You were just emotionless, nothing.
I don't even know why you fought this war
You love nothing, so what do you even have to gain?
Your ideals were vain
All you cared about is terrorizing people, creating cult state,
People obeyed you out of fear,
Once you died, they didn't shed a tear,
They abolished your system, removed Stalinism and your statues from their place
In history, you were just remembered as dictator who tortured his own people, pure disgrace
Nothing you did was good
You denied your people even food
While you were enjoying and drinking
Ukrainians were starving
And when I conquered Ukraine,
Ukrainians joined Germany, they fought against you, remembering their own pain
They hated you more than me
And they were your people
But you didn't see
Them as anything more than slaves for game
You couldn't bring prosperity to your country
So to mine you brought shame
I thank Savant for this rap battle. I think I accurately rapped as Hitler given that a lot of this is from his speeches and history. I didn't really make anything up like I usually do. I just gathered what Hitler would most likely say, and I organized it in a rap form.
I thank you again, and hope you rap as Stalin well, not that Stalin was the rap type.
