Emcee Or Poet
I'm told this isn't hiphop, just a bunch of well constructed words
And its not poetry either because it rhymes like a rap verse
At first, come to terms with the terms that your using
Then try to structure the point that your proving
Introducing yourself half way through a statement
Will likely fail, you need a basis for it to make sense if it's a story your trying to tell
A true emcees pen is used to jot thoughts on paper
But its just a matter of opinion which version's prefered or greater
Words heard, are sure to stir emotions in some,but
Read straight from the page that it wouldn't have done
The reality is rap punchlines are something quite pivital
But Rappers today make verses seem quite trivial
In the last line I've given you, an example of the devide
Repetition can enforce points, or be an easy way to rhyme
These changes may be hard to define, but it's worth a try
I don't use style guidelines, I adopt whatever works for mine
Search my mind for my thoughts, and write 'em in rhyme form
Lots have lost the plot . . just let me know when you find yours
My verses get read so my message is spread they way it's intended to be
Cause if your an emcee who isn't a poet,well your just posin, your not really an emcee .
