Let me get your diagnosis It says you’re half the man I am And all your raps are necrosis Yeah I’m so perfectly perfect In all my careful divisions Creating identical versions While you’re “Oh I’m so different” Don’t talk to me! You’ve been around the block too many times And your duplicate splitting is constantly spitting out Four daughter nuclei? Don’t be jealous cause I’m sexy And I got two sets of phases I like to mix DNA up When I’m entering my prophase stages! You’re like your parents kid Just like a clone You see this chromosomal genetic combination’s mine own! I’m independent My chromosomes don’t need any pairs At the end there’s only 23 So your mom and dad can share and make Life! Yeah I’m the one that Gives you your offspring Though my genetic variance can create arrogance DNA’s changing from New York to Beijing... Sure, if it weren’t for you I wouldn’t have kids But if I wasn’t here then you wouldn’t exist And those babies you keep bringing up? Awwww, real cute I’m the one that makes them grow So you can stop cleaning their puke!! You’re like telophase The only thing worth admiring is your cleavage I don’t want to give half of my chromosomes up What I’ve built in my nucleus is my achievement I’m like telophase too I like to kick back and unwind But I’m secretly Anaphase Pulling you apart from inside! I repair the whole body To make you grow big and strong If I wanted sex cells I would just ask your mom Hey – here’s a question! Maybe you have the answer Did you know you’re the main cause For a whole bunch of cancers? Yeah, your errors Cause a lot of conditions Ouch! Did that burn? Better call the physician Sorry! Can’t feel your burns As I can regrow skin I’ll repair tissue, build membranes To never let you in Whatever! I have Meiosis 1 And of course Meiosis 2 A way more complex process Making me way better than you Two successive divisions 4 perfect daughter cells Each one ends up haploid Is that your testes thanking me as well? And I was discovered first 1876 to be exact So I’m older and wiser than you And that is a fact My overabundance and detailed importance Makes me a bit more complex So my discovery required A lot more context I come from Walther Flemming’s Genius mind and observations Look at this cutie’s beard He’d give anyone stimulation Well one of my forefathers Had the hippest glasses and peach fuzz Gertwig was a hipster Before everybody was You see it’s me that makes the gametes So all of humanity can reproduce Gotta strive for diversity and progress So we don’t end up like you - a douche! Hey! Hey! Hey! Both our chromosomes Line up on the equator And we’re mostly stuck in interphase So let’s try not to be a haters When it comes to agreeing One thing we have at least is That both our epic journeys End in cytokinesis!
