jreg - do i do slam poetry? كلمات الأغنية

[spoken]
y’know, some people ask me
if i do slam poetry
and i respond completely unpretentiously
no, slam poetry does me

cause i live slam poetry
breathe slam poetry
came outta my mother’s womb spitting slam poetry
i’ve written slam poetry
since i was but a child
and as i grew up it became the opposite of mild
it’s like rap for white people, and y’know minorities
but isn’t this the same things as rap? please
rap has a beat, and spoken word has nonе

wait, but in the background, i_i have this song
hold on, have i actually been rapping this wholе time
godd_mn these definitions are barely defined
is this spoken word, rap or a poetry slam
is there a difference between them? wait, godd_mn

is spoken word the same thing as slam poetry?
is slam just rap without a fancy beat?
all i know is rap has a beat
and no beats get a bad rap
so call this slam poetry
or a piece of cr_p, i don’t care
but i’m getting impatient
how am i supposed to inspire my generation
with no arbitrary label to put on my creation?
if this is rap, is this cultural appropriation?
if this was rap i’d have to talk real fast
leave my opponents aghast
as i flash by them like a flash from the past
i’d be colder than a draft
truth is, i never last
forecast is i’m just a rap enthusiast

and if this was slam poetry
i’d have to speak a lot more slowly
so people could y’know actually understand me
my lyrical complexity would scrutinized heavily
and i’d talk like i was from the sixteenth century
you know, i’m starting to think that difference between these styles
is less a matter of miles more a matter inches
see, the thing is, slam poetry is just a catchy title
for getting people to listen to a poetry recital
as lyricists, we treat our audience like kids
meanwhile not even knowing what slam poetry is
