RAP EXCERCISE
Here is a short list of Ai rhymes you can use and improve on and add to, try to create each one into a perfect set of 4 bars that can stand on its on. Look at how I experiment with different combinations to keep the song from getting too boring thought the topic is not at all impressive.
Cross Rhymes
(Struggle in the Poor Streets of San Jose)
Walking through the struggle where the poor streets lay,
San Jose nights, where dreams tend to sway.
Hustling every day, trying to find a way,
In the shadows of the city, hope begins to fray.
Add 4 bars here.
Slant Rhymes
(Going from San Jose to San Francisco)
Leaving San Jose, chasing Frisco lights,
Dreams on the highway, stars in the nights.
Bay's on the right, feeling the breeze so slight,
Bridges in sight, as we reach new heights.
Add 4 bars here.
Compound Rhymes
(Driving from San Francisco to Oakland on the Bay Bridge)
From Frisco to Oakland, cruising Bay Bridge lanes,
Tunnels and towers, breaking free from chains.
City lights refract, through panoramic panes,
Skyline’s a track, playing urban refrains.
Add 4 bars here.
Double Entendres and Wordplay
(Making $4200 Online)
Started in San Jose, the grind was heavy, weighty,
Hit the road to Frisco, mindset never shaky.
Six hours in the ride, profits never lazy,
Online hustle real, raking in that gravy.
Forty-two hundred, pockets getting weighty,
Doubled up my earnings, like a spread,
that's crazy. , gotta get the dough to make the bread
420 on the dot blazing trails like Hazy,
Cash flow nonstop, digits never flaky.
Clicking keys, making cheese, digits escalate,
Money growing like trees, future decorate.
Flipping streams, making greens, watch the aggregate,
Turning dreams into means, wealth I navigate.
From the Bay to the bridge, where the currents flow,
Oakland's on the horizon, see the bankroll grow.
Online schemes and themes, profits overflow,
Riding high on these dreams, watch the cash bestow.
Chorus Version 1
From San Jose to the Bay, making money all day,
In the fast lane, we stay, watch the hustle replay,
Stacking up cash, no delay, living dreams in the fray of a string,
the Bay Bridge lights guiding the way, shining bright, never leading me astray
Chorus Version 2
Hustle strong from the start, chasing dreams, playing smart,
From San Jose, chart the part, cashing in, that's the art,
Bay Bridge under stars, city lights, beat the dark,
Making moves, leaving marks, bigger gains, brighter sparks.
Chorus Version 3
From the Bay to the bridge, stacking cash, living big,
Online hustle's the gig, profits flip, watch 'em rig,
San Jose where we dig, dreams grow, they don't twig,
Frisco nights, we don't zig, straight to the top, we sprint, no jig.
