Today's Rap and Hip Hop music styles are wonderful ways to use language and rhythm together and create powerful feelings through music. If you want to learn more about language, pay attention to the natural rhythms words make in songs, poems, and even common sentences.
If you can talk you can rap; if you can rap, you can sing!
Hey You! Yo! Look out! Shazzaam!
Ya gotta get attention or' make a stand
So ya stand up tall. Announce it with passion--
Loud and proud with enthusiasm!
At the end of a word or a phrase-- it's HOT!
An exclamation point-- line over dot!
LET'S PPPPPP-- PUNCTUATE!
I Know you can, PUNCTUATE!
LET'S PPPPPP-- PUNCTUATE!
Use it when you talk. Tell it to me straight
Use it when you write. Communicate!
Come on now, LET'S PPPPPP-- PUNCTUATE! Wow!
When you're usin' lotsa phrases, clauses or words...
LET'S PPPPPP-- PUNCTUATE!
I Know you can, PUNCTUATE!
LET'S PPPPPP-- PUNCTUATE!
Use it when you talk. Tell it to me straight
Use it when you write. Communicate!
Come on now, LET'S PPPPPP-- PUNCTUATE!
When you wanna know the answer; think you have a doubt...
LET'S PPPPPP-- PUNCTUATE!
I Know you can, PUNCTUATE!
LET'S PPPPPP-- PUNCTUATE!
Use it when you talk. Tell it to me straight
Use it when you write. Communicate!
Come on now, LET'S PPPPPP-- PUNCTUATE!
I'm all through. This jive's complete...
LET'S PPPPPP-- PUNCTUATE!
I Know you can, PUNCTUATE!
LET'S PPPPPP-- PUNCTUATE!
Use it when you talk. Tell it to me straight
Use it when you write. Communicate!
Come on now, LET'S PPPPPP-- PUNCTUATE!
Stop. Wait. Done.
