Just A Poet

One two, one two, yeah

I'm an artist with an art that's misunderstood

And I've had it from the start of my childhood

It was a gift from the creator that created good

I'll never lose it if I use it the way that I should

To entertain or explain, perform or inform

To prove, groove, soothe or warn

Shucks, I want the bucks but that's not my only motive

And if you listen real close you'll notice

As I rhyme, I'm expressin' my views

And with the power of choice, this is what I choose

But I'm not tryin' to contest, conquer or compete

I'm just a poet sayin' my poetry to the beat

It feels mighty fine

Yeah

It feels mighty fine

Yeah

My heart beats the beat that I rap to

And the rhymes that I rap, you clap to

I've always had a strong urge to be this way

All I ever wanted to do is say

What's on my mind, with a rhyme

'Cause that's what I do best

And I don't worry about what the rest think

I just do what I feel and it feels mighty fine

To know that I appeal to some

They see where I'm comin' from

And where I'm headed in the job that I have to get done

Rap's got me strung because it's dope I'm numb

I hear a beat, then I become one with the drum

I get so wrapped up and trapped up in the groove

That I become obsessed with makin' you move

Then I assess my obsession, place it to a poem

Then show 'em, I'll show how (It feels mighty fine)

I know how to do that job 'cause I'm a veteran

Yet I'm improvin' with age, I'm gettin' better and better

Smarter and older and wiser and brighter

That only means that I hold the mic tighter

And entertain and also knowledge you

An entertainer should also be a scholar too

'Cause if you think about it, that makes it all complete

And I'm a poet sayin' my poetry to the beat

It feels mighty fine

Yeah

It feels mighty fine
