The father of rap

Poetry is the foundation of rap It has paved the way The drugs and guns came afterwards It was all about peace and tranquility Violence wasn't a thing Rhythm and Poetry is all there was Multiple great rappers started off as poets They then evolved to rap Voicing it all out Sending their message across They'll never forget where they came from Starting off with a pen and paper Writing down their thoughts Thoughts about reality There's no need to fantasize it
