Poet With Soul

It's about that time and I'm all set
To get to business, so don't miss this
One time only opportunity
To witness this hip-hop ingenuity
Most don't know it, I'm a poet

When they doubt it, that's when I show it

Givin' 'em rhythm, plus some insight
From the heart straight out of the windpipe
Since it's from the heart it must be art
And I'm an artist that is not confessin'
But expressin' what is on my chest
Impressin'? Listen closely, I know you'll see
What I'm made of and what makes me
Go and grow and glow and grow so bold
I got the soul of a poet 'cause I'm a poet's soul

Yeah! (Poet)
I'm a poet's soul
Yeah! (Poet)
I'm a poet's soul
Yeah! (Poet)
I'm a poet's soul
Yeah! (Poet)

Born with tools for buildin'
I'm an architect that's skilled in rhymin'
Rhymes instilled and filled inside
For years and here's the perfect time
For me to show with poetry
Each poem I give a little part of me

I guess I'm obsessed with the quest
To do my best and I rest assured

'Cause mind and rhymes are strong
Try not to fake records, gotta make songs
The type of tip that I'm trippin' on
Is keepin' this form of art an art form
Express yourself and stretch your self-esteem
But realize we're on the same team
We'll grow together, be so together I know
'Cause I got the soul of a poet 'cause I'm a poet's soul

Yeah! (Poet)
Yeah! (Poet)
Yeah! (Poet)
Yeah! (Poet)

I'd like to put you in the spirit
Need a mic to kick the lyric
Hands are twitchin', brain is itchin'
Time to feed this need which
Inhibits me to exhibit a rhyme
Not all, but just a little bit at a time
I hold my strength to go the length
And yo, I know you know I gotta crank the
Drums up dumb to give up some

Soul to hold onto, take with you
If you need liftin', just listen
Come on, get up onto this and
Take the verse for what it's worth
It shows and proves I'm down to earth

That's the reason that I speak so bold
'Cause I got the soul of a poet 'cause I'm a poet's soul

Yeah! (Poet)
I'm a poet's soul
Yeah! (Poet)
Straight up soul
Yeah! (Poet)
I'm a poet's soul
Yeah! (Poet)

My mother said that this would fade out
Others said it's on its way out

But I still write my heart out
Late at night with a light 'til I nod out
With the right to live, I live to write
Recitin', enlightenin' because I can
Take some lead or ink and link
Some words that chain obtainin' verses
Synchronized and memorized
In depth concepts, keep you in step

Yep, I've been told
I got the soul of a poet 'cause I'm a poet's soul

Yeah! (Poet)
I'm a poet's soul
Yeah! (Poet)
I'm a poet's soul
Yeah! (Poet)
Just a poet's wit
Soul
Yeah! (Poet)

Yeah! (Poet, poet)
Yeah! (Poet, poet)
Yeah! (Poet, poet)
