Just A Poet chords by

Intro 1
Am
Dm
Am
Verse 1
Am
1, 2, 1,
Dm
Am
2, yeah
I'm an artist with an art
that's misunderstood
and I've had it from the
start of my childhood.
It was a gift from the creator
that created good.
Dm
I'll never lose it
Am
if I use it the way that I should.
To entertain or explain, perform or inform.
To prove, prove, soothe or warm.
Shucks, I want the bucks
Dm
but that's not my whole motive.
Am
Dm
And if you listen real close
Am
you'll notice as I rhyme.
I'm expressing my views
and with the power of choice
This is what I choose,
but I'm not trying to contest
Talk or compete,
Dm
I'm just a poet
Am
saying my poetry's to be
Dm
It's style of mind, yeah
Am
Dm
It's the style of mind, yeah
Am
My heart beats the beat that I rap to
And the rhymes that I rap, you clap to
I've always had a strong urge
to be this way
Dm
Am
Dm
All I ever wanted to do is say
Am
What's on my mind
With a rhyme
Cause that's what I do best
And I don't worry about what the rest think
I just do what I feel
Dm
Am
And it feels mighty fine
to know that I appeal
To some
To see where I'm coming from
Dm
And where I'm headed
Am
And the job that I have to get done
Raps got me strong
Dm
Because it's dope I'm numb
I hear a beat
Am
Then I become one with the drum
I get so wrapped up and
Dm
trapped up in a groove
Am
that I become obsessed
with making it move
then I assess my obsession
Dm
place it to a pole then show it
Am
I'll show how I know how
to do that job
because I'm a veteran
yet I'm improving with age
I'm getting better and better and smarter
Dm
and older and wiser and brighter
Am
Dm
Am
that only means that I hold the mic tighter and entertain
Dm
and also knowledge you an entertainer
Am
should also be a scholar too
because if you think about it
Dm
that makes it all complete and I'm
Am
a poet
Dm
Am
Dm
Am
I find my state of mind
to be creative at times
when I'm supposed to be at rest,
But my best rhymes come upon instinct
When I don't even think
Dm
Am
Loose leaf and ink
Dm
Then I'll dis solve and shrink
Am
Into a place and space
Where only I can travel
With my expressions and possession
They all unravel
With a flair to compare
I make comparisons
Dm
Am
Of words
And when I'm done
Dm
They're in unison
Am
Productively
Constructively
Done by me
The stimulation I sensation
You could never see
With the human eye
Although you might try
Dm
Am
But remember only I can identify
Dm
Am
And if you can't understand
Well I think that's grand
Because notice I wrote this
and I have plans to get to know you
and show you
I'm not filled with Z
Dm
I'm just a poet
Am
Dm
Am
Dm
singing my poetry to you
Am
Dm
Am
Dm
Am
Dm
Am
Dm
Am
Yeah!
Dm
Am
Dm
Am
Dm
Am
Dm
Am
Yes, it's true that you should go yourself,
cause you're blessed with health,
if you help yourself. And success doesn't
always mean gaining wealth,
Dm
to me,
cause if I could be content with myself,
Am
I'd be just as happy as a millionaire
Dm
Am
With a mansion on a hill in Bel Air
And if God is willing,
I'll keep fulfilling my poetic hunger
Dm
While I still have time to rhyme,
Am
cause I'm not getting younger
As I live, I will give my all to my trade
With pen and paper in the shade,
sipping lemonade
Am
I got the soul of a poet,
I'm a poet with soul
Dm
I'm on a roll, and I know it,
and I show it so bold
Dm
Am
It's ironic how harmonic
I can blend two words
An adjective with a noun,
and a noun with a verb
Am
Without trying to destroy
The greater the feat, just
be a poet
Am
Say you're my poetry to inspire

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
