lyrics: (FACTS/ EXPLANATION OF RAP:)
(CHORUS)
BACK IN THE DAY MY NAME WAS EMILY
CHILLEN IN MY COLONY WRITING POETRY
NOW I AM
DEAD AND DECEASED
RISING OUT THE GROUND LIKE ZOMBIES
NOW MY HEART BEATS
"COULD NOT STOP FOR DEATH" (Could not stop for death, Is an excerpt from one of her poems)
CUZ
"SUCCESS IS
COUNTED SWEETEST
BY
THOSE WHO NEVER SUCCEED" (Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed) DEPENDING ON THE LIFE THAT YOU LEAD (from one of Emily Dickinson's famous poems ) (Emily's room had a window facing a graveyard) ( she saw funerals almost every day)




I AM WITNESS TO NUMEROUS A DEATH
NEVER BASKED IN SUCCESS OF THAT I AM BEREFT (She only became famous after death)
FUNNY HOW YOU CAN REACH THE PEAK




ONLY AFTER YOUR HEART STOPS TO BEAT




1886 THERE'S A DEATH IN MASSACHUSETTS




MINE... (Bell of Arhmherst was her nickname)
I AM THE BELL OF AMHERST




EYE INFECTION THE ROOT (1864 Diagnosed with an eye condition that)
OF DEVASTATION (was the cause for her devastation doctors said)
CHRISTIANITY I NEVER CONVERTED (That she would not be able to read or write but she)
CONDEMNED TO MY ROOM POETIC SALVATION ( Still Wrote hundreds of poems alone in her room)
STRICTLY PURITAN,
MY METER IS BROKEN HOW SHOULD I WORD IT? (She Used a Lit Device "BROKEN METER")
"FUNERAL IN MY BRAIN", AM I EVEN WORTH IT? (Which is the implementation of Random Capital-)




POURED MY HEART AND SOUL INTO MY WORK (ized words or letters to invoke a thought or feeling) (I Felt a Funeral in my Brain was a famous) (Piece by Emily Dickinson)



GAINED MY ROAD TO FAME THROUGH MY LUST ( Her Rhyme Scheme didn't always Rhyme)
FOR THE SCHEME (She was the only person in her family who)




EVEN IF IT DIDN'T RHYME (did not convert She stayed a Calvinist her)




IN EVERY LINE AND EVERY VERSE (Poems are famous for the underlying conflict)
LIES A CONFLICT AN INNER BATTLE OF FAITH ( between the religions which tore her apart)
I NEVER STRAYED

(CHORUS)
BACK IN THE DAY MY NAME WAS EMILY
CHILLEN IN MY COLONY WRITING POETRY
NOW I AM
DEAD AND DECEASED
RISING OUT THE GROUND LIKE ZOMBIES
NOW MY HEART BEATS
"COULD NOT STOP FOR DEATH" CUZ
"SUCCESS IS
COUNTED SWEETEST
BY
THOSE WHO NEVER SUCCEED" DEPENDING ON THE LIFE THAT YOU LEAD




I'M RECOGNIZED AS (She is considered one of the greatest american poets of all time)
ONE OF
AMERICAS
GREATEST POETS
OF ALL TIME
BECAUSE I TOLD A STORY OF LIFE
MY LIFE
IN EVER STANZA AND EVERY LINE
