Lyrics
Blummer feat. DMK & Jam Master Jun - Writin' Rhymes
(chorus)
i write rhymes in the studio, make tracks that face
the problems of today, tomorrow, none of it goes to waste
i pour emotion through my pen, follow these words
my team backing me up, these are the raps of the Nerds
i write rhymes in my head, composing my style
you should slow down and listen, sit with me for a while
feel the sonic vibes echoed through my song
all the people on this Earth, ya'll can now sing along
(Blummer)
the definition of a rhyme, just what does it mean
a syllabic similarity in a sweet sixteen?
basically yes, but it's so much more
put in a melody, these words appeal to the rich, the poor
cross boundaries, rivers, the globe with a song
from the shores of Montezuma to the skies of Hong Kong
there's just something about how the words connect
in a musical construction, a poetry-laced set
to affect, to project, to inspect and reflect
direct and perfect, that's what you can expect
objectively, my rhymes are a product of these times
sublime on the grind, poetry in its prime
like Moses, these etchings are my commandments
hip-hop gets hate, masses can't stand this
but i'll sail through these waters, sail through this storm
and transform bad to good with lyrical art form
(chorus)
(DMK)
it starts with a word (it starts with a word)
transforms to a verse (transforms to a verse)
it starts with a word (it starts with a word)
transforms to a verse (transforms to a verse)
i start with poverty, you say snobbery
together we conclude it's outright robbery
could be a felony, instead it's a travesty
put it to a melody, cut, edit, there's a theme
add 2 nerds, now we got harmony
but add too much, and the music starts to bleed
so we cut back, i say poverty's on me
you build on that, let's talk about greed
two themes, running free
moving parallel to a musical beat
just recall, it's only one word
transforming a nerd to a voice well heard
(chorus)
(Jam Master Jun)
it's just words, man, it's just words
words that he wants to backup with works
but works are hard, and words are easy
and words travel quickly on these MP3s
but he's got some skill, and he sounds all right
he won't admit it, but these rhymes of his do take all night
but don't think, therefore, he's got mystique
he just look like that cuz he's getting no sleep
can't you tell the reason that he rhymes with joy
is the fact that he likes to hear the sound of his voice?
maybe he's crazy, his mind is hazy
he can't even tell what's real from his daydreams
but now and then, he goes back and yeah
and remembers how the Nerds used to rap and yeah
he rolls his eyes, yeah, but he picks up the pen
he knows that the time to rhyme has come again
(chorus)
i write rhymes every day
pouring my soul every way
through my mind and my heart
my style and my thoughts
i do this the only way to show what i say
i write rhymes every day
pouring my soul every way
through my mind and my heart
my style and my thoughts
i do this the only way to show what i say
(chorus)
