Rap Battle Lyrics to Roast Someone: 25 Funny, Clean Lines

The short answer: a good roast exaggerates a small, harmless habit until it is ridiculous, then lands the punchline on the last word. Roast habits, never insecurities. Here are 25 original, clean lines you can use on a friend, sorted by target.

How do you roast someone without being mean?

• Roast habits, not people. Bad driving, yes. Looks, weight, money or family, no.
• They should laugh first. If you are not sure they would, cut the line.
• Punch on the last word. Set up in line one, rhyme the hit at the end of line two.
• End with love. The best battles finish with a hug, not a grudge.

Roast lines about their cooking

You cooked us some pasta, I'm calling it brave, the noodles are crunchy, the sauce needs a grave.

Your kitchen's a crime scene, the smoke alarm sings, it knows you so well it just waits in the wings.

You burned a salad, I didn't know how, chef, you're a legend, take a bow now.

Roast lines about their driving

You drive like the GPS owes you a fee, three wrong turns later and we're out at sea.

Your parking's an art, it's abstract at best, two spaces, one car, and a cone on your chest.

You signal at random, you merge like a dare, the other cars pray when they see you out there.

Roast lines about their phone

Your phone's always dead, it's a fashion accessory, calling you up is a historical memory.

You reply in three days with a single "lol", your texts move slower than snail mail at all.

Your screen's so cracked it's a map of the town, you swipe it and bleed, but you won't put it down.

Roast lines about their music taste

Your playlist's a mystery, a sad karaoke, one song on repeat since the year you were broke-y.

You say you love rap but you skip every verse, you're only here for the hook, and it's getting worse.

You turn up the bass in a two-door sedan, the windows are shaking, and so is your fan.

Roast lines about their style

You dress like you lost a bet with the night, socks with your sandals, and both of them white.

You bought a new jacket, it's louder than you, I can't hear your bars, cause the jacket's bars too.

Roast lines about their habits

You're "five minutes out" for an hour or two, the clock's filed a missing report about you.

You said you'd go running, you bought all the gear, the shoes are still boxed, and it's nearly a year.

You nap like a champion, gold every round, you'd sleep through a concert if they turned it loud.

You start every story with "this'll be quick", forty minutes later, my coffee's a brick.

You borrowed my hoodie in 2019, it's living with you now, it's part of your scene.

Rap battle closers that end on love

I roast you this hard cause I know you can take it, best friend on the mic, and we both know we made it.

All jokes aside, you're the best that I know, now give me my hoodie back before I go.

You're late and you're loud and you cook like a storm, but you're my day one, so that's the norm.

I came here to roast, I ran out of disses, happy birthday, legend, these are my wishes.

We battle like rivals, but here's the plain truth: no one I'd rather be roasting since youth.

How do I make a rap battle video with a friend?

On airapvideo, upload one photo of you and one of the friend you are roasting, then click Create. In about 3 to 5 minutes you get a 10-second vertical video of the two of you rapping on one stage, with a built-in beat and vocals. Put yourself on the left (the left side leads), and post it with your favorite roast line as the caption. The rap in the video is built in, so you cannot type these exact lines into it.
