I thought i'd share it with you guys seeing as you may comprehend. A caribbean rap poet came to our school. He was really awesome and the coolest person i've met. He chose 10 people out of 70 to be soloists because he is trying to spot people for a national competition. I volunteered and I ended up winning (Voted by the school) I was shocked and greatly honoured really because my poem was about classical music and how people shouldn't judge me according to my music. Here it is (I'll put in stage directions like this in brackets:
Beat boxingg)
Our cultures are split and visciously cut off
For you, Eminem. For me, Rachmaninov
You see, whilst you dance to Mc Hammer
'You can't touch this' (Points to self) I'm of a different manner
Maybe you enjoy a rowdy night with Totti
But for me you can't b-b-b-beat a pleasant night of Pavorotti
Tchaikovsky, Chopin I could name them all
I couldn't name a rapper 'cause I love Classical
I know that you try be pimpin' me
But I blast you hard wid' my symphony
Yeah that's what happens, sometimes you cause trouble
But I don't fret, I've got my bass (Pause) Double...
I see you promoting profanity and all
Whilst for me it's more comfortable sitting third stall
So maybe you like Jay-z but that just ain't me
I still respect you, don't think i'm thick
Moral is, don't judge by music
If any of you can be bothered to read it I'd be deeply thank ful!
