Off Beat

I gave you a listen 
the rhythm is missing 
either it’s hidden 
or locked up in prison 

Say each word of the line
or it won’t clunking rhyme
speak one line at a time
so the sounds combine

You're a dad at a disco 
this ain’t a diss though 
you’ve a hit and miss flow
like a pissed ho 

For that I leave an apology 
I too can’t rap like a proper g
can’t keep my timing properly 
but so what 
piss pot 
rap I’m not 
I’m poetry
