Poetry is not cool,
it’s not as good as rap.
It’s only for old people,
and the rhymes are c**p.
But what is poetry,
if it is not rap?
What do you have to say to that!
The swearing and the dissing
may be what it is missing.
But without poetry,
rap wouldn’t be in its current position.
Maybe rap is just a poem
that’s a little more flowing.
Or a poem is rap
where the music’s gone flat.
But I firmly believe
we can’t separate it like that.
Rap is a poem,
and a poem is rap.
