Found Poem

Rock and Roll
In the real world
They just like me and you
Its bigger than hip hop
Reflect
Little bit of love
Broke

Hip Hop By Dead Prez Lyrics

Uh, uh, uh, 1, 2, 1, 2
Uh, uh, 1, 2, 1, 2, uh,uh
All my dogs

Its bigger than hip hop, hip hop, hip hop, hip
Its bigger than hip hop, hip hop, hip hop, hip hop

Uh, one thing bout music, when it hit you feel no pain
White folks say it controls your brain
I know better than that, thats game and we ready for that
Two soldiers head of the pack, matter of fact who got the gat? And where my army at?
Rather attack and not react Back the beats, it dont reflect on how many records get sold
On sex, drugs, and rock and roll, whether your projects put on hold
In the real world, these just people with ideas
They just like me and you when the smoke and camera disappearAgain the real world (world), its bigger than all these fake ass records
When poor folks got the millions and my womans disrespected
If you check 1,2, my word of advice to you is just relax

Just do what you got to do, if that dont work then kick the facts
If you a fighter, rider, ? bouter? , flame ignitor, crowd exciter
Or you wanna just get high, then just say it
But then if you a liar-liar, pants on fire, wolf-cry agent with a wire
Im gonna know it when I play itHookUh, who shot biggie smalls?
If we dont get them, they gonna get us all
Im down for runnin up on them crackers in they city hall
We ride for yall, all my dogs stay real
Nigga dont think these record deals gonna feed your seeds
And pay your bills because they not
Mcs get a little bit of love and think they hot
Talkin bout how much money they got, all yall records sound the same
I sick of that fake thug, r & b, rap scenario all day on the radioSame scenes in the video, monotonous material, yall dont here me though
These record labels slang our tapes like dope
You can be next in line, and signed, and still be writing rhymes and broke

You would rather have a lexus, some justice, a dream or some substance? A beamer, a necklace or freedom? Still a nigga like me dont playa hate, I just stay awake
This real hip hop, and it dont stop until we get the po-po off the blockThey call it....


Uh, dps got that crazy shit we keep it crunk up
John blazed and shit what

RepeatFake, fake, fake records

Metaphors and Similes

All songs have a form of metaphors or an actual metaphor or two. Metaphors in many peoples eyes can mean one thing or many other things. Similes I think are a bit misguiding when it comes to trying to describe something with a simile. Metaphors can help describe something to someone way easier then a plain old saying can for example " A Stairway to Heaven" to one person can mean an easy way to seek savior or simply a stair case in the clouds that supposedly leads to heaven. A simile to me can be confusing when it comes to describing something because something simply as an ordinary boring object or stupid subject can be used to describe something.
