Letters put together form a key to chords

from Rakim – Don't Sweat The Technique Lyrics on Rap Genius

Comparing the English language to music… GENIUS!

In music, the letters A through G represent key that you would see on a sheet. When you hit more than one of those keys together, they form a chord.

Example:

When you put letters together, they form words… words form sentences… and sentences create the lyrics: MUSIC/ART!
When you put keys together, they form chords… chords form melodies… and melodies create the instrumental: MUSIC/ART!
