Rap IS Poetry (a response to Poetry VS. Rap)


Everyone don’t wanna rap or even be a rapper <br /><br />Some jus need the money and think rap will get it faster <br /><br />I no it wont, it takes years to achieve that <br /><br />If you really think about it, poetry is the source used to please rap <br /><br />Let me recite, or rather explain <br /><br />I think there’s a verse I can make, off the top of my brain: <br /><br /> <br /><br />Tap, tap said the nigga Fat Pat <br /><br />Its not about the money, Z-Ro can confirm that <br /><br />You gotta understand <br /><br />We as man <br /><br />Need a source to help us maintain <br /><br />Spit a verse or two, but we aint all tryna gain fame <br /><br />We impress ourselves at how much we know <br /><br />Poet or rap phenom, either way you go <br /><br />Have a way with words <br /><br />Flippin the script <br /><br />Use pronouns and verbs <br /><br /> Let the rhymes drip <br /><br />Like candy paint off a car <br /><br />My words can cut so deep, and tear you apart <br /><br />The ink from my pen, shoots out like poison from a blowpipe <br /><br />Like a river all I do is flow right <br /><br />Rhyme has no scheme unless you make plans <br /><br />Im a poet and a rapper, I don’t greet others with shook hands <br /><br />That’s for people you don’t know, everyone is ma cousin <br /><br />Do you feel these words; I don’t know anyone who doesn’t? <br /><br />Rap is my sense of feeling <br /><br />Im like lil Wayne, for I have no ceilings <br /><br />As for Kanye, he can’t write a verse <br /><br />Before I listen to that nigga put me in a hearse <br /><br />Tha muthaphukkin real, like Eazy <br /><br />I put on for ma city, like Jeezy <br /><br />I’m takin over; like Akon <br /><br />Flow so explosive, niggas call me napalm <br /><br />I drop the world with Weezy and Eminem <br /><br />The two are the same, thas wut I’m telling dem <br /><br /> <br /><br />See rap IS poetry, with different morals <br /><br />One is mind peace, while the other ends in word quarrels <br /><br />Understand we’re both tryna make it <br /><br />Poets use peace, Rappers jus take it…
