"OG Gothic Poet" lyrics

P-O-E is the, Poe is the GOAT
P-O-E is the, Poe is the GOAT
P-O-E is the, Poe is the GOAT
P-O-E is the, Poe is the GOAT

Poems are cool, stanzas are cool
Haikus are cool (OG Gothic poet)
Meter is cool, rhyme is a tool
Sound is a jewel (Poe, Poe now you know it)
Poems are cool, stanzas are cool
Cadence? A rule (OG Gothic poet)
Trochees are cool, quatrains are fuel
Assonance too (Poe, Poe now you know it)
Poe, Poe now you know it
Poe, Poe now you know it
Poe, Poe now you know it
Poe, Poe now you know it

He dropped trochaic tetrameter, hypnotic and tight
Like a goth Dr. Seuss sipping brandy all night
Internal rhymes like "dreary" and "weary", stacked in a row
Dude invented emo rap over century ago too!
Caesuras for drama, dramatic as hell
Alliteration marching on like a funeral bell
Couplets and laments, symmetry in disguise
Form mirroring madness in a raven's eyes

Poems are cool, stanzas are cool
Haikus are cool (OG Gothic poet)
Meter is cool, rhyme is a tool
Sound is a jewel (Poe, Poe now you know it)
Poems are cool, stanzas are cool
Cadence? A rule (OG Gothic poet)
Trochees are cool, quatrains are fuel
Assonance too (Poe, Poe now you know it)
Poe, Poe now you know it
Poe, Poe now you know it
Poe, Poe now you know it
Poe, Poe now you know it

He loved the motif of the death of the fair
The rare and radiant maiden with golden hair
Psychological, gothic, narrators confess
Obsession, repression, the beautiful mess
Melancholy elevated, grief turned to sublime
Philosophy of composition, math in his rhymes
Unity of effect, every syllable steered
Built emotion with precision till the climax appeared

Echoes are tight, looping all night
Patterns sound nice (OG Gothic poet)
A chorus is cool, stanzas are spools
Lit-hop spitting truth (Poe, Poe now you know it)
Darkness goes hard, horrific bars
Just ask MC Lars! (OG Gothic poet)
Satire's cool, parody fools
Emerson's schooled (Poe, Poe now you know it)
Poe, Poe now you know it
Poe, Poe now you know it
Poe, Poe now you know it
Poe, Poe now you know it

He blurred prose into verse, dreams into songs
An architect of horror, but the meter stayed strong
Gothic Romantic, but analytic too
Predicting symbolists, surrealists... and ICP it's true
Euphony and cacophony, phonetics at play
Merged darkness with beauty in a seamless way
Eviscerated Longfellow, whenever he chose
A critic with claws, and a poet with woes

What's a refrain? (A line that repeats!)
What's a refrain? (A line that repeats!)
What's a caesura? (A pause in the poem!)
What's unity of effect? (One mood, one tone!)
Okay... earlier I was like "Poe predicted ICP"...
He didn't literally, but let's just say the "Tell-Tale Heart" walked so "Ol' Evil Eye" could sprint with a hatchet... just saying!

Poems are cool, stanzas are cool
