What are words worth?

What are words worth? - words



Words in papers, words in books

Words on TV, words for crooks

Words of comfort, words of peace

Words to make the fighting cease

Words to tell you what to do

Words are working hard for you

Eat your words but don't go hungry

Words have always nearly hung me

Words of nuance, words of skill

And words of romance are a thrill

Words are stupid, words are fun

Words can put you on the run

Its a rap race, with a fast pace

Concrete words, abstract words

Crazy words and lying words

Hazy words and dying words

Words of faith and tell me straight

Rare words and swear words

Good words and bad words

Words can make you pay and pay

Four-letter words I cannot say

Panty, toilet, dirty devil

Words are trouble, words are subtle

Words of anger, words of hate

Words over here, words out there

In the air and everywhere

Words of wisdom, words of strife

Words that write the book I like

Words won't find no right solution

To the planet earth's pollution

Say the right word, make a million

Words are like a certain person

Who can't say what they mean

Don't mean what they say

With a rap rap here and a rap rap there

Here a rap, there a rap

Everywhere a rap rap



Rap it up for the common good

Let us enlist the neighbourhood

It's okay, I've overstood

This is a wordy rappinghood, okay, bye.
