I’m a Poet Lyrics

[Intro]
Yes, I'm a Poet
Yes, I'm a Poet, (Yes I'm a Poet and I spit my game, go. We make it through the rain)
We Make it through the rain, yes I'm a Poet and I spit my game!

[Verse 1]
I'm somewhat of a poet, I go in kinda stiff but then I loosen up like Lindsay Lohan
And every time I rhyme yeah I rhyme with emotion, and every time I dunk gotta hit the slow motion, oh shit!
Call me Blake Griffin, Lebron in addition, people I was wishing, but now it's not reminiscent
I'm focused on my dreams so I guess I gotta own it, can't change the world so I guess I'm just a poet, no shit
Ever since I was really little, I called myself a rapper, I made riddle after riddle
I fiddled with the rhymes schemes, reaching for the high beams, till it all falls down, then we killing my dreams
When they knock me down I rise soufflé, none of them like what I'm doing now, do they?
That's what really motivates the reason I keep fighting, Yes I am a poet, the rhymes I'm reciting

[Hook]
We make it through the rain, every time they hate my soul is going down the drain
Please stand up if you know what I'm sayin', Yes I'm a poet and I spit my game, go! [x2]

[Verse 2]
I spit fire like a flame throw, who said that this journey was gon' be sunshine and rainbows?
Yeah, I don't do it for the fame though, and I certainly don't do it for the payroll
I'm able to make beautiful rhymes with my mind, you don't mind? I'mma stay on my grind
I'm grateful for the times when the world made me climb now I'm chilling on a boat with a girl and some wine
I'm, not mad at you haters no more, rhyming is my craft I would like to grow more
Every single stanza, every single bar I make chilling a part of my repertoire
So I figured it out, I'm gonna get to the top fair and square, I know that you mad you still on the ground and I am in the air
If you need some money look in my eyes you'll see if I care, next time respect the poet, a talent you know is there!
[Hook] [x2]

[Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
