Go to You tube and play "CHECK THE RHYME" by A Tribe Called Quest
as you read:
This rhyme starts at second 26 of the track.
Metaphorically speaking, I swoop like a bat.
Eat like a raider ,run like a deer,
and I deliver the lyrics with a knife in my back.
This Funky Rhythum...is a killer.
This Funky Rhythum ...is a killer.
Sliced bread ain't got nothin' on me.
But I'm still together and ain't on the twos and threes.
I feel it's ironic that I don't like rap....
but every now I then I take heed to this crap.
My soul is forgotten in trade of the slaves
but my body found me.
Now I'm reading books.
I'm trying to know everything before my right get took.
I'm trying to build...an empire.
I'm trying to sing....a happy song.
Everyday is a blessing as I see.
The Rhythum is funky cause a
funky rhythum is a boogie and a boogie
is a rhythum that's funky to the boogie
that beat.
