Rap Roll Call...

If I remember right

I remember one time

One time

I watched a performance one night

I remember as I applauded

As I applauded in my head I performed my own instalment

My instalment about the difference between poets and rappers

The difference between real lyrical lyricists and real lyrical actors

As I remember on the night the poet had the audacity

The audacity, to leave out Marshall

I remember I shook my head

As in my head I said let me audacious and say

And say in matter of fact Marshall, Matters

Marshall, Matters and so does

Pac, Nas, Snoop, Hill,

Eve, Mell, Flav, Gill

T.i, Luda, Fiddy, Kweli

Def, Flocka, Soulja, Stalley

Salt, Pepper, Wale, Yeezy

Joey, Jay, Free, Jeezy

Run, Common, Cam, Kelly

Lux, Solomon, Mook, Nelly,

Ness, Tech, Diddy, Busta,

Asap, Gambino, Wu, Bubba

Brown, Cole, Remy Game,

Big Boi, 3000, Dre, Mase

I dreaded it

I dreaded it but I even added Wanye

I dreaded it

I dreaded it but I even added Chains

I remember in my head I said

Poetry and rap are intermixed

Chained together like two slaves

Poetry and rap are interlinked 

Every diss-track, Every E.P, Every mix-tape, Every album, Every internet leak

Matters

Its matters because in matter of fact

It’s actually poetry being carried on the back of the beat…
