Say What? A Rap-tastic Guide to English80

Yo, listen up, it's time to get your English on
With a rhythm that's sick and a flow that's strong

I'm here to drop some knowledge, so let's make it clear
English ain't just boring, it can pump you up, yeah!

Let's start with the basics, the building blocks
Nouns and verbs, they're the foundation, it's not a hoax

Nouns name things like a cat, a tree, or a book
Verbs tell us actions like "jump," "read," or "cook"

Adjectives describe stuff like "big," "small," or "blue"
Adverbs tell us how we do things like "quickly" or "slow"

Now let's get funky with some tenses, past, present, and future
They tell us when stuff happened, like when you rhyme like a tutor

Past tense is for yesterday's flows, present's for today's show
Future tense is for tomorrow's beats, yeah, we're on the go

Connect 'em all with "and," "but," and "or"
Mix 'em up in sentences, it's like rap's very core

Prepositions show where, like "in," "on," or "under"
Possessives tell us who something belongs to, like "mine" or "your"

Vocabulary's the key, so expand your word stash
Don't be afraid to learn new terms, it's like a lyrical cash

Slang and idioms, they're like secret codes
They add flavor to your speech, make your rhymes explode

Practice makes perfect, so spit your bars out loud
With each rhyme you drop, your confidence will grow, no doubt

English ain't just a language, it's a superpower
It's the currency of communication, it's your victory shower

So let's keep the beat alive and keep on learning
With this rap-tastic guide, your English will be yearnin'

So drop the mics, and let your words take flight
With this language at your disposal, the world is your mic!
