Poetry歌詞

[00:01.143]Can you picture how a melody gets thought into existence?
[00:04.007]Rhythm section hits it and upholds it with persistence
[00:06.665]Picturing the outline and you start to see the colors
[00:09.358]Filling in with intricate splashes by all the brothers
[00:11.910]Me'Shell is on the joint — you mean Ms. NdegeOcello?
[00:14.711]No wonder why the hump inside the joint is feeling ghetto

[00:19.734]For their efforts of revealing and bringing forth the feeling
[00:22.654]I'm reeling, poetic I say, of great proportion
[00:25.311]I hope my little nuances correct for this distortion
[00:27.983]But I say why say, and who is to say?

[00:46.579]I'm just a humble little germ just a hipper version
[00:49.404]Poetic I mean truly indeed her every seed
[00:51.956]Just sprinkles with the essence of life to form my breed
[00:54.667]Think about sweetie while we give this to the needy
[00:57.347]The musical expression is important for progression
[01:00.027]Never stop learning lessons, and neither should y'all
[01:02.387]Before we all stand must acknowledge the fall
[01:05.356]Before we get the bounce we got to reach for the ball
[01:07.885]Before we ghetto stroll we had to get to a crawl
[01:10.603]Check it out now, and don't you dare
