Lyrics
I am the hope of the universe I am the answer to all living things That cry out for peace I am protector of the innocent I am the light in the darkness I am the truth Ally to good Nightmare to you In the battle of the fate of the world Who would you choose? Goku or Jesus? Goku or Jesus? In the battle of the fate of the world Who would you choose? Goku or Jesus? Goku or Jesus?
Content
Track seven on Dragon Ball $d, feat. Nick Belcher. Luke wrote, played, mixed, and mastered; Belcher sings, his second of three on the LP after Vegeta's Lament / Lord Frieza / Super Saiyan. Same Phineas and Ferb belter, here scoring Goku as messiah rather than Vegeta as opera victim.
The verse is Goku's canon savior speech to Frieza (I am the hope of the universe... ally to good, nightmare to you), earnest in the source material and absurd sung straight in a bedroom hip-hopera. Then the chorus turns it into a bracket: who would you choose? / Goku or Jesus? Twice, no resolution. Stoner theology meets Toonami christology, and the song refuses to pick. It pairs neatly with Vegeta's you're better than me Kakarot on the previous track: the prince surrenders, then Goku claims the cosmic job title.
Next: My Dad Sucks, with Gohan energy (a fake Spotify collab).
