Rap is crap.
Forgive me for being blunt,
Put that down to me being a cunt
It seems to me however though
Anyone can do better, have a go
A rap is a poem for a lazy sod
Thinks he can rhyme; the rhythmic God
No rhythm, no goal, no basic structure
Probably thinks that rhymes with puncture
They do not understand
It's not about the money, whores and land
It's about the words themselves
Take that thesaurus off the shelf
Write something good, even if it's snappy
Find a better word than "happy"
Work on stanzas, find your style
Do revisions once in a while
I understand that rap is quick
But all the raps here, make me sick
To the bone, to the core, down inside
And heaven forbid even I have tried
To make some rhymes that really work
(I am a hypocritical jerk)
I'm no poet, and I know it
But it always seems to me,
Rap is just not meant to be
I hate poems as much as the next man
But all these raps they really can
Be so much better if we try
Maybe, somehow maybe I
Will stop this nonesense, let it end
I'm rambling aren't I, hello friend
Thinking I am somehow clever
My mind hasn't worked out whether
I am actually good or not
Perhaps I shall let it rot
At least it rhymes, without stretching
For weird pairings I am (fetching?)
To form an odd unreadable mess
That's out of time and rhythm and not really clever at best
So let's just say, rap can be good
If simple things are understood
The flow, the words, the meaning thus
Contained inside all of us (?)
Let's be poets, not "rapper" saints
