Voice #2: "My Life" by Da Band

Hit tha bricks chicks like damn where you been lord

Locked up wit a bad case of hemorriods

Writtin n fightin trifflin rhymes About tha life n tha times wit niggaz on tha grind

White collared criminals climb the corporate ladder

While niggaz like me gotta sell coke n crack

Riskin my freedom boxed up missin a season

Its a setup hypothetically speakin

Even my pops was knocked ova tickets for speeding

Drinkin n drivin i aint forget he think i forgot him

My mom got grey hairs from worrying sick And my sister got a house now pushing a stick

Just a lil something to get her from a to b

Ya'll got nowhere to go come and stay wit me

Wit a niece and a nephew dat love me to death

My little brother nick i guess he'z loving whatz left

Voice #1 "Come Close" by Common

Are we living in a dream world?

Are your eyes still green girl?

I know your sick and tired of arguing

But you can't keep it bottled in

Jealousy, we got to swallow it

Your heart and mind baby follow it

Smile, happiness you could model it

And when you feel opposite

I just want you to know

Your whole being is beautiful

Im going to do the best I can do

Cause i'm the best when i'm with you

Poetic Language

What is Poetic Language? How is it different from poetry?

Poetic language is when someone speaks in the form of poetry. Its when someone uses the different styles of poetry in the way they talk such as using descriptive words, alliteration or rhyming as they speak. I think that the difference between poetic language and poetry is that when someone uses poetic language they do not feel as restricted as writing a poem because in writing a poem many people have a certain idea of how they want their poems to be. I think that in speaking potically poeple could just say how they feel without worrying about if something soiunds right or not.

Poetically Just

Wow.
