CHORUS
When I want to write something and my thoughts are all a mess
I put it all together with the writing process
I’ve got thoughts I must express or issues I must address
The way to do it best is the writing process

VERSE 1
When I’m pre-writing I’m brainstorming what’s going to happen
So before I start rapping I begin with mind mapping
Start by writing down on paper everything feel I like telling
No worries about grammar, punctuation, handwriting or spelling
Now my idea is in pieces this is the genesis
I’m turning my research into a working thesis
When I’ve gather ideas then I make an outline
This works for a letters, essays, books, speeches, or rhymes
The audience and the purpose sets me on the right path
Who am I writing for and what argument do I have
With those questions asked, I make my first draft
There’s no exact answer, this ain’t science or math
To perfect the tone and style I must revise it so I read it
I see what else is needed and what needs to be deleted
Like a garden when you water it and weed it, then I repeat it,
No reason to feel defeated, you’ll know when it is completed…
