🎶Rappers are poets too. You know it’s true.🎶
🎶An emcee is an artist like any other, expressing what they’re going through🎶
🎶Was Tupac Shakur not the rose from the concrete?🎶
🎶Was Earl “DMX” Simmons not the dog on the street?🎶
🎶Rapping is poetry. A pen to the pad, for when you’re mad, when you’re sad or even when your heart is glad🎶
🎶Hip Hop can bare the soul of any other human🎶
🎶Turning ashes to new from any rubble of ruin🎶
🎶When a rapper feels pain poetic rhythm is how they express it🎶
🎶The microphone is our release when our will is tested🎶
🎶To rap is to wear your heart on your sleeve🎶
🎶Putting rhythm to a poetic story no one would believe🎶
🎶Rapping is the poetry of the urban. It reaches the suburban when inner city youth expresses burden🎶
🎶We’re not just musical artist, we’ve always shown it. A rapper and an emcee. We’re lyricists and poets🎶
🎶You’ll always know it🎶
