a good rap song
carries a beat
foot tapping
fingers snapping
it is all about the base
about the base
and the drums

rap lyrics are behind the phrase
do not understand the street language
but most know the words to the refrain

rap is broken down knowledge
of ghetto blues
mixed with underground hip hop
Reggie, soul, and r & b tunes
talking all the jive
with an attitude of street poems
you can feel because you relate to it
keeping the words real

rap is our strength
the voice of the people
knowledge is power
a spoken word poem recited
to Reggie, soul, jazz, and r & b tunes

rap is the word up
straight out of the hood
rap, the wisdom of words
rap, words of peace
rap, the words of poetry
about our people
