letra de what we can reap from rap - rivir

[verse 1]
if, by some fortune, you’d sit
in the presence of someone who’d lived
their life entirely imbued with
passion and drive, attuned in
perfecting the craft of rhythmic music
(rhythm is what he loved, this astute kid:
already from the age of three, he knew it
and would wake up at a-quarter-to-six
to study harmonics and experiment with acoustics)
would you consider him foolish?
would you think it’s a stupid
waste, that science could better use his
mind and all that he can contribute is
nothing more than putrid?
no, i bеlieve it’s conclusive
that in a virtuoso, virtuеs live
you would find it hard to prove or
pass a judgment that is abusive
your rationale would be able to compute it
and his acceptance in society would be fluid
if, by a fluke, you were the culprit
of a second “exposed glimpse,”
you’d see one who devoted
every waking moment
creating liaisons between
ideas from the pulpit and loaded prose scripts
composed of encoded meanings that the pros hid
until his brain is bloated, and he calls himself a poet
some days his pen free-flows with
stories of others’ heroics
with anecdotes in a dosage that is both graspable and potent;
other days, he shows that he can omit his onus and write in villanelle and sonnet
there are times, he garners extra focus
and thinks of a line and doesn’t know where to post it
so he holds it until he finds a post-it
and even though he’s busted
and there’s no incoming of money pouring in
his ego stays in check until a post-date
faced with this story, would you remain stoic or would you quote it?
would you be a proponent of the opponents up on podiums siding against his cause that he’s battling?
or back bone him, condone him and extol him, inciting to fantasize a reality
in our society, pursuing both rhythm and poetry are n0ble offers:
robert frost and bono have been guests at the oval office
in comparison, rap’s embarrassing
it’s very simple. it mirrors then a bear’s den smeared in kerosene; saying it got dirty
the fart arm of art forms thought of as a farce for the smart forums with garth’s forearms saying it’s not worthy
but hold on a minute! rhythm and poetry: if both mediums were mixed i could rename them for what?!? wait… rhythm and poetry is the acronym then for rap

[verse 2]
if, by some luck, you were able to be exposed to rap and you removed the negatives
you would get a better picture and disprove the prejudice
the lyrics of rap are often accused of being explicit, dated and aggressive
and not seen as sophisticated, impressive
those who just visit, hate it, reject it
and imply that to our forward-thinking planet, it elicits a state that’s regressive
you see, rap is a sk!ll set equivalent to studying the violin or paint
except the mastery’s lane-switch is language
the expression of emotional anguish vanquishes
as does the violence or pain
remain squished pertained to the perhaps tainted panes framed and displayed within the bubble of rap
it is a linguistic form allowing for rumble and smack
without a physical body being pummeled and whacked
instead of lives being under attack
all the machismo is funneled into rap
and the only fists ever thrown are humbled in daps and coupled with claps
on its base level the art form isn’t static. it’s electric
and the rap circuit’s always buzzing, emphatic, with the current next switch
each time a fresh blueprint gets shipped, it seeps in
and the renewed apprenticeship begins
innovation, imitation and enough patience alongside groomed friendship lead-ins
staying upbeat, and spit on beat, compete-and-beat on repeat to prove penmanship, he wins
many of those considered great in this relatively young art
spent over a decade, while actively on guard
of climbing up the ranks until they got out of the “junkyard”
prior to their career’s praised official jump-start
how can the public lens zoom in, focus and snap at rap’s banning?
when an icon, allen ginsberg, could act on writing ”howl” and has been accepted into the poetic cannon
john ashbery and e e cummings were known for at times being out front and blunt
and even shakespeare had an affinity for the word… i’m sorry i can’t
throughout all literature, we’ve seen quite graphic facets. aristophanes, catullus and ben johnson are known for their classless classics
it is easy to denigrate variant forms, newer expressions of socio-economic despair at its core
maybe you’ve forgotten rap’s roots in jazz and blues
concrete and imagist poetry broke boundaries, too, to name just a few
and how can someone break down an entire culture like a parasite? that’s the equivalent of trashing the louvre
to not give an art of speech a say is unfair and benefits n0body. it’s unjust, a lose
[chorus]

why does rap have such a bad rap?

why do scr-ps end up on their scr-ps?

with what service would you scr-p it and claim that it’s cr-p?

there is no discrepancy just give it a good scrub and see

don’t end this tragic story instead change it’s trajectory

why disrupt have such a bad trip?

why describe pent up anger scripts?

with a surface would you scr-pe it and claim that it’s scrubs?

there is no disc recipe just give it a good scribe mc

from lose, draw jack victories to the point that dragic’s scoring

[verse 3]
if you have the distinction to see past rap’s past
that is presently wrapped and presented through the resentment of a past president’s precedence
and, by some oddity, grasp that the passed pessimism passed passes and presses on rappers’ backs with the pressure of a piston
you might still fall victim of this rant’s position
you may still be stumped by the branches of egotistic barking that subtract from rand’s ambition
and leave believing that the issue at hand is rap. that’s your rendition
by telling this story
it relieves some of your worry
and frankly that hollow cost of not seeing the core is
less less less gory
if you direly need comforting
you’re stuck as addicts to your seeing
the world in a light that makes us the sorry
victims of rap then ignore me
unfortunately, this is caused by a failure of further imploring, exploring and informing
you see it is true that some rap may allude to h0m-phobia, violence, excessive spending, surreal hits of drugs and fodder hint-words of heartrending misogyny
but to understand it, we have to look deeper. the world we live in is home to phobia, vile and s-x. the abyss is expanding, so we all get dragged further in toward the hurt-trending. the message in it is:
it’s
over-indulge then over-take into over-spend untill we’re all id-less, but i digress
those heavy thoughts are brought to light in rap ideas
our society doesn’t reflect what rap is; rap reflects what our society is
rap’s innuendos act as a new window into when doses of undue wind blows
in our culture. s-x and violence sell music, books, movies, clothes, video games and someone is willing to do anything when you win dough
the shift toward s-x-centricity, a change we’ve shown
dominates the entire mainstream flow. from lady gaga down to 14-year-old baby mamas
from 50 shades of grey we otta not highlight the 50 shady pacca..
slips our mind just how mainstream rap is
if you furrow your brows claiming that rap is low-brow, the fact is
you shouldn’t browse through nike, sprite, beats, computers or even insurance ads, cuz
you’d raise a brow at how often companies use rap to hold audiences captive

[verse 4]
finally, if you are unfortunate to be stuck on rap’s rougher past, you should note this
in recent years, many rappers have gotten over throwing controversial jabs to get noticed
rappers, such as macklemore and lupe fiasco, have used their social power to mold kids
they address controversies, like tolerance and anti-gang culture, which are issues that had gone unnoticed
remember that rap is still a young art and it has yet to become an adult. plus
due to globalization, rap is rapidly spreading, if you didn’t get the notice
for stromae and dag nachash, language, culture and social issues from their own camps do not get eroded
with new styles, new rhythms, new lyrics and beats, the whole rap scene has exploded
you see rap in its essence was a platform that fell flat for them when it lost its motive
rap was a man with a tin–just homeless
but that tin-man found a beat and home is
where the heart is the art’s heart was home misled
now it’s home honed in mislled
so rap can now grow and innovate; all is not hopeless. its potential can be redeeming; take us further then an opus
but if rap continues to be based on dissing peers then hoe kiss, po cuss
rappers can and will return to their true blossoming state as both rhythmic musicians and poets…
society, wits- a sigh of relief- what’s decided is: wood stock… “sign the deed” with a side muddy watch the seismic spree

chorus
