Poet With Soul Lyrics by Def Jef

Just a Poet With Soul

1989

[Intro]
First of all, I need you to catch my natural voice on the record. Cause it be augmented with echo and all of those studio tricks. Absolutely real voice
(Set out and ready, here I cooome!)
Check this out!
[Verse 1]
It`s about that time and I’m all set to
Get to business, so don`t miss this
One time only opportunity
To witness this hip-hop ingenuity
Most don`t know it, I’m a poet
When they doubt it, that`s when I show it
Giving them rhythm, plus some insight
From the heart, straight out of the windpipe
Since it`s from the heart
It must be hard
And i`m an artist that is not confessing but exprеssing
What is on my chest? Impressed?
Thеn listen closely, I know you will see
What i`m made of and what make me
Going pro and going raw so-lo
I got a soul of a poet, cause I'm a poet with soul
[Hook]
(Yeah, oh, yeah)
Ima a poet with soul
(Yeah, oh, yeah)
Ima a poet with soul
(Yeah, oh, yeah)
Ima a poet with soul
[Verse 2]
Born with dues fulfilled and
I`m an architect that skilled in
Rhyming, brother`s skilled and filled inside
For years and years, the perfect time
For me to show with poetry
Each poem I give a little part of me
I guess, i`m obsessed with the quest
To do my best and I rest assured
Cause mind and rhymes are strong
Try not to fake records, gotta make songs
The type of tip that i`m tripping on
Is keeping this form of art an art form
Express yourself and stretch your self-esteem
And realize we`re on the same team
We will grow together, we sow together, I know
I got a soul of a poet, cause imma poet with soul
[Verse 3]
I`d like to put you in a spirit
Need a mic to kick a lyric
Hands are teaching, brain is itching
Time to beat this need which
Inhibits me to exhibit a rhyme
Not all but just a little bit at a time
I hold my strength to go the length
And, yo, you know I got crank the
Drums and thumps to give us some
Soul to hold on to take with you
If you need lifting, just listen
Come on get upon to this
And take the birth for what it`s worth
It`s shows and booze, i`m down to Earth
That`s the reason that I speak so bold
Cause i got a soul of a poet, cause imma poet with soul
[Hook]
(Yeah, oh, yeah)
Imma poet with soul
(Yeah, oh, yeah)
Imma poet with soul
Straight up soul
(Yeah, oh, yeah)
Imma poet with soul
(Yeah, oh, yeah)
[Verse 4]
My mother said that this would fade out
My mother said it`s on its way out
But I still write my heart out
Late at night with a light till I nod out
With a right to live, I live to write
Reciting and enlighten
Because I can take some lead or ink
And link some words that chain attaining verses
Synchronize and memorize in depth concept
Keep you in step, yep
I been told
I got a soul of a poet, cause imma poet with soul
[Hook]
(Yeah, oh, yeah)
Imma poet with soul
(Yeah, oh, yeah)
Imma poet with soul
(Yeah, oh, yeah)
Imma poet with soul
Just a poet with… soul
(Yeah, oh, yeah) X4
