So I present to you the Oxford English Dictionary

I heartily concur with that suggestion old chap,
Championing a new literate breed of rap,
I'm fed up with these ruffians barking with gusto,
It's beyond my comprehension, the things that must go
On in their heads as they shout, I think they'd better get
An education and a lesson in etiquette.

True, dropping your h's will bring you closer to the 'edge,
But forcing a rhyme will turn your rap into carnage.
So don't take a word that starts with 'th' and transpose
It for 'f' cos that's the sort of thing that gets these Freds closed.

I hope you enjoyed my little lesson in pronounciation,
But I have a filly waiting and I have a reputation.
So with a 'beep' from my Roller and a tweak of my 'tache,
I give nod of my topper and away I must dash.

Ahoy-hoy. Word to your mother.
 
A Gangsta's Life


I grew up in South London, man life was tough,
I had to sell my barbie dolls cause' it got so rough,
Daddy was a dealer, okay he dealt in cars,
Mama poured so many pints, in really scummy bars,

I guess it was a given, with such a troubled past,
I'd end up as a 'Gangsta' and learn to shoot real fast!
Play school's where I learned my trade, some kid gave me lip,
I pulled his Y-Fronts really tight and tweaked on his left nip,

I earned my rep that day you see, people knew my name,
Everywhere I ever went, grannies would complain,
I wreaked havoc through my hood, on my bmx,
My stabilisers weren't yet off since balance was complex,

I made it through, yeah i'm finally here,
At senior school, my final year,
Gee I was the toughest, I even learned the slang,
I practiced shnizzling my rizzle and even formed a gang,

My homies were the meanest louts, I had ever seen,
Names were Dave and Geoff and Bob, and our 'Ho' Jean,
We started what can be described, as a reign of fear,
Once we saw a dinnerlady and shouted in her ear,

What came next was pretty mean, but hey thats a Gangsta's life,
We nicked some spud guns from the shop and shot the vicars wife,
Father Ted got angry, he really made a scene,
He prayed for our forgiveness, and tried to touch up Jean,

This is what life's all about, living in the hood,
To stay alive without a doubt, we all did all we could,
We made ends meat by gambling, offering the odds,
On whether Jean would drop her kegs and fiddle with our rods,

Girl did good, we earned our dough, things were looking good,
We had our empire in our hands, like any 'gangsta' should,
But like Tupac and B.I.G. it had to end in tears,
Fridays nights a no go, cause' mum won't buy our beers.

Listen man, all those things you say is wrong and you got at all twisted
My spellings might be poor but my incredible rap flow persisted
I never lay claim to be the best but could i be one of the best yet?
Dont forget this is meant to be a freestyle event but turned into spellolymics
So dont blame me you get the wrong boat and it all turned catastrophic.
GodyR writes what he writes and i do what i do
Gangster this gangster that, obviously most of you dont have a clue
As soon as i mentioned guns, it suddenly becomes a taboo
You all need to stop, seriously check yourself and ask who is who
Don i suggest you read up other people's culture and way of life.

Man you need to wake up, you need a reality check
If you think you've seen the best I've got, you ain't seen nothing yet
My first rhyme was a tester, to see how you'd react
It seems you took it personal, but I expected that
You want to be respected, for your "incredible rap flow"
You might get what you want if your flow wasn't a no show
I asked you to get a vocabulary and it seems that you did try
You even took to making words up, just to comply
What the hell is spellolymics? It doesn't sound like much fun
But I guess it beats the hell about you rapping about a gun
"So dont blame me you get the wrong boat and it all turned catastrophic"
I wanted to see what the next line was, but I guess you had to stop it
For someone who claims to be a rapper you don't know how to rhyme
I guess it's not your day job, so you only do it part time
So you say you're not a gangster, and you know what that's cool
People are much more comfortable, thinking you a fool
Why do I need to ask who is who, I know who I am
It seems you're the one who's confused, a boy playing at being a man
I think I'll end this here, I think our time is through
I've got threads to lock and people to ban, now I'm through with you.

Fo shizzle.
 
OK El Razur, we've all seen 8 Mile,
We've heard Eminem and his amazing freestyle,
but what we want to know can you deliver the rap,
or are you a joke and just talking crap?

The only way, you'll win this war,
Is to lay down tracks that'll leave us in awe,
If you don't, then your word means nought,
Post an MP3 or STFU.
 
Who's dat mockin' my hip hop ability?
Y'all clearly ain't heard my tip-top delivery,
Time to step it up an' put you outta your misery,
These disses yo' givin' me ain't got nothin' on this, ya see?

I'm a hip hop visionary, freestyle missionary,
My rhymes cut deep, there's nothin' discretionary,
No time for guns, blunts or whatever your preference,
My weapons are wit, style and literary reference.
You feel like I got you in a Catch 22?
I'll give hollers to Heller, I'll give credit where due.

You look like a wuss, in fact the two are synonymous,
You say you're a man but you look so androgynous,
My rhymes get me famous but but you'll soon be anonymous,
My wit's made of steel, but yours of soft polymers.

So cut out the crap an' keep crawling for cover,
Ya' sound like that ponce who said "word to ya mother".

You pronounce the word 'nought' funny :/

hmmm good point, I see you read it as nought = 0/nort

I read it as nought = nowt, maybe it's just a northern word for nothing.

I use a bit of both really, i.e. its worth nowt, or i sometimes say nought when speaking the digit 0.
 
Nought (nearly) rhymes with Up in Shut the **** Up.
