RAP

I'll keep this one short and sweet It's about the acronym RAP RAP, Rhythm And Poetry And in this case Reason And Purpose Yo, f*ck the ego Let's take it out of this art Less space for bravado, more room for heart Rap is for the people, to invigorate the feeble To believe they can still pull their weight Though not simple, it can still be done Life can still be fun without the vices of society, big muscles, or guns We have our words and our minds Each of us has value in the grand design And I ain't just spitting lines, what I'm dropping are facts You may be skilled at this, well, I'm good at that Just gotta figure how we fit into the picture How the jigsaw pieces match and snap I can crack back, attack like boom bap On beat or off rhythm with a backhanded slap That I hope will wake you up from the dream world that you're living in Your soul knows it's enough to be a noble citizen More artists need to ignore the greed Take a tip from Mané (Sadio) giving back to his (Senegal) community Lead by the example that you want people to follow Live a life of purpose to fill in the hollow Holes inside us all As we await our fated call Everything we say and hear Is absorbed by susceptible ears Unconsciously, it creeps into habits, ways of being But we can break the trends So the means can really justify the ends
