Rap lyrics

Rap is poetry spoken in time with the beat.

Before you write your lyrics, make sure that you have a good backing track beat created on 'Incredibox', as it will help you remember the rhythm of your lyrics.

Unlike essays, rap lyrics are based on colloquial language-slang and use poetic techniques such as:

a) Rhyme

The topic of the lyrics are mostly about the rapper's:

a) life and family

b) wealth

c) hardship

d) politics
