The Game
Rap is quick, witty and fun.
Poetry is smooth, rhythmic and heartfelt.
Rap and poetry had a love child.
A daughter, named Spoken Word.
She grew to maintain the better characteristics of her parents;
From Rap, she took freestyle, freedom, and grass roots movement.
From Poetry, she took imagery, theme, and voice.
Together, all three, as common forms of expression,
spread to every rapper, poet and storyteller in the world.
