Before rap the was poetry
The origin of music
The pillar of sound
The source of harmony

A way of expressing the true nature of life
You need a feeling in order to feel it
Like a verb it holds action
Not just words it has motion
I am a poet
Before rap there was poetry

A way in which love is expressed
The truth is confessed
You are what you think you are
For the sake of success
You work hard to achieve
I am a poet
Before rap there was poetry

A bird in hand is worth two in the bushes they say
I live through the word
As the word created the world
So in word you can believe trust and hope
I am a poet
Before rap there was poetry
