[Intro: GZA as Bad Billions]
Uh-uh, yeah (Alright, uh)
Y'know what? (Uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, yeah)
[Verse 1: GZA as Bad Billions & John Hodgman as Good Billions]
All life started with the Big Bang
An explosion so great from which we all sprang
The universe dispersed mass
Traversing space as time passed
Space expanding mad fast
Stars made of light and gas (Uh)
The cosmos with billions of stars, gleaming
These are the events that brought us wolves into being
[Chorus: GZA as Bad Billions & John Hodgman as Good Billions]
Newton, newton
[Refrain: GZA as Bad Billions]
Now you know our name
And you know we trained
To wax poetic refrain
With our superior brains
Evolution's changed
Our instincts remain
To wax poetic refrain
With our superior brains
[Verse 2: GZA as Bad Billions, John Hodgman as Good Billions, Both]
For years we ask how
But we should ask why?
Below a canopy of nebulas in the sky
Orbiting matter inspiring thoughts
And in this perfect vacuum our pale blue dot
[Chorus: GZA as Bad Billions & John Hodgman as Good Billions]
Newtons, newton
Newton, newton
[Refrain: GZA as Bad Billions]
Newton Wolves explain
The knowledge we gained
To wax poetic refrain
With our superior brains
Evolution's changed
Our instincts remain
To wax poetic refrain
With our superior brains
[Verse 3: GZA as Bad Billions & John Hodgman as Good Billions]
Protons
Neutrons
Folding together like a futon
Colliding in poem like a perfect storm
Creating galaxies and planets
Like the one that we're on
[Bridge: GZA as Bad Billions, GZA as Bad Billions & John Hodgman as Good Billions]
We're talking 'bout Earth, y'all
Alright, now it's time to break it down
With every kind of star that has ever been classified
We talking giants
Subgiants
Red giants
Blue giants
Luminous giants
Very luminous supergiants
And less luminous supergiants
[Verse 4: GZA as Bad Billions, GZA as Bad Billions & John Hodgman as Good Billions, John Hodgman as Good Billions]
Pulsar (Yeah), neutron star (Uh-huh)
When they rotate together that's a binary star
Class W, class O, class L, class F
Do we have any other stars?
Oh, most def'
[Chorus: GZA as Bad Billions & John Hodgman as Good Billions]
Newton, newton
[Verse 5: John Hodgman as Good Billions]
Red dwarf, white dwarf
Brown dwarfs are fun
If you want to see a yellow dwarf, look to our sun
[Outro: GZA as Bad Billions, John Hodgman as Good Billions, Both]
But don't look at the sun
Oh, no, don't do that
That's everything we learned about the known universe
The end
