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?

Track seven on [*Dragon Ball $d*](/albums/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*](/songs/vegetas-lament-lord-frieza-super-saiyan/). Same [**Phineas and Ferb**](https://phineasandferb.fandom.com/wiki/Nick_Belcher) 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*](/songs/my-dad-sucks/), with **Gohan** energy (a fake Spotify collab).
