Rap in essence

Rap is a game

That can bring fortune and fame,

And also a proportion of lame

Mfs that make some distortion to name.

 

Also take a picture and make a contortion to a claim,

That that’s how the extortion to this game has came.

Isn’t rap all about lyrics that generate flame?

I only see them chase clout, no merits, only elevate the pockets. Insane.

 

And lowkey the ones in charge like it this way,

The abortion of morality, that’s the case in this day.

So creativity is meant to decay?

And the ability to show humility through capability of chaining what to say

 

Is now less rewarding than acting all the same.

Lil this, Lil that, all copying Lil Wayne.

Chasing sound and simplicity over using the mind’s plasticity,

Or claim we’re overusing its plasticity.

 

Ig I’ll stick to the game like Big Daddy’s cane (Big Daddy Kane—a rapper).

Did you catch the Big Pun(big pun—a rapper) or are you slow in the brain?

This is a Black Thought, analyze it, there’s so much to gain.

Swimming Pools from Lamar (la mare whichs the french term for “the pool”), I catch irony in French, play the song when it rain.

 

Or J. Cole being German ( jcole was born in germany) and being called a Jermaine.

Guess who’ll be the third in this lane?

Marshall Bruce Mathers the Third(play on his name (marshall bruce mathers the third, and also his song guess whos back), that’s the name.

Guess having the whitest name wouldn’t hit the same when you’re the shadiest human.

 

You’ll never get a grain from what I’m saying

If you ain’t influenced by the greatest of the chain.

You never gave them enough props for the arcane,

You’d rather stream some main and complain if you heard them detain

 

Your small mind, but behind every lyric they drop I find new knowledge

And make sure it wouldn’t go in vain.

And if I slit my vein, it’ll rain alphabet that explain why I maintain such a high state.

And it’s not too late, you can make it, mate.

 

You can change your fate and be more intellectual, get the most of your crate,

And take off the constant hate, thus open the gate

To the great meaning of rap as an art, like I ate and chewed every lesson on this plate.

Till then you wouldn’t relate
