Ode To Blue

That's right Blue it's an ode to you

Cause of all the shit that you helped me through

If anyone denies that it's true

They must be one real big fool

You're like a lil sis, and I'm the big brotha

If someone picks on you they go through hell like no other

I'll find where they live and call them out

Then cries of pain will be what they whine about

Cause you were there for me when I needed you the most

And I'm sorry but I need to boast

You're the best friend anyone could have

People say I'm wrong, I'll just laugh

Our emotions they flux, going up and down

When you're mood is bad then I play the clown

When I'm the mad one you're giddy with glee

That's why I say you were there for me

I'm a little sad so I talk to you

You're a little sad so I try to help you too

I'll be here forever as long as you need me

And no worries, there's no fee

It surprised me when you took my advice

Cause I'm always the one that needs insight

And the flux it'll end sooner or later

And when it does we'll be the greater

So because I need to end this sorry rap

Imma finish up so I can take a nap

Let me end on a positive note

I just need to say I'M ON A BOAT

Yep, a rap, no surprise there. I mean I haven't written one in a while. I'm also pretty sure that I've started reusing rhymes in my raps. But I'm at best amateur because I never move up from the AABB rhyme scheme. Earlier in a English class we were going over sound devices and figurative language and how a lot of rappers use them in their music and I realized again how horrible my stuff is. I wanted to finish the last four lines with happiness, but instead decided to fit with a flow and so I'M ON A BOAT also. I'M ON A BOAT is totally irrelevant to the rap. Like seriously, there's no secret meaning to those four words whatsoever. I plan to start going through and trying to write a series of lines that I can call an actual rap. I'm talking lots of metaphor, simile, connotation, annotation, alliteration, consonance, assonance, etc. etc. And I really want to use imagery. Looking over this one the only one I can name off the top of my head is me referring to Blue as my little sister and me being her big brother which is a metaphor. I guess I also used a little hyperbole when I talk about the flux in our emotions also. There's also the threats that I used. In the first four lines though there's some internal rhyme though.
