actually i pwned you a couple times, you're just too dumb to realize it
btw, you never responded to this
Threw some chords together
The combination D-E-F
Is who I am, is what I do
No one's gonna let it down for you
Try to focus my attention
But I feel so A-D-D
I need some help, some inspiration
(But it's not coming easily)
Whoah oh...
Trying to find the magic
Trying to write a classic
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know?
Waste-bin full of paper
Clever rhymes, see you later
These words are my own
From my heart flown
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There's no other way
To better say
I love you, I love you...
Read some Byron, Shelly and Keats
Recited in over a Hip-Hop beat
I'm having trouble saying what I mean
With dead poets and drum machines
I know I had some studio time booked
But I couldn't find a killer hook
Now you're gonna raise the bar right up
Nothing I write is ever good enough
These words are my own
From my heart flown
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There's no other way
To better say
I love you, I love you...
I'm getting off my stage
The curtains pull away
No hyper bowl to hide behind
My naked soul exposes
Whoah.. oh.. oh.. oh.. Whoah.. oh..
Trying to find the magic
Trying to write a classic
Waste-bin full of paper
Clever rhymes, see you later
These words are my own
From my heart flown
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There's no other way
To better say
I love you...
I love you, is that okay...?
You don't need to use big words when often little ones say it better.
Yes, that is also a song ^^ Pop though, not rap or rock or anything else, a simple, effective pop song with short words thay rhyme.

No dude, you got pwned.
You asked for a course on Dylan lyrics, 99% sure you weren't expecting one, and then someone posted one.
That = pwned, you got what you wanted when you didn't think you'd get it.
You issued a challenge, got served, and now you want out, so you = pwned.
PWNED PWNED PWNED

To tell you the truth, I was expecting it.. because it seems like almost every person who hates hip hop worships him. And the people who listen to Bob Dylan are too ignorant to even bother listening to Hip Hop artists.
The same goes with the people who make these courses. They don't realize anyone else's poetic / lyrical skills because they're just too damn ignorant to bother listening to them as the case with all of you rap haters.
Bob Dylan is not as lyrical as Rakim. Why does no one study him? Because they're just too damn ignorant to even bother reading / learning about him.

I know. But if you were grading an essay in College where student A's vocabulary was larger than student B's vocabulary but they both made sense, who do you think would get the higher points?
Student A because he took more time studying to get his vocabulary bigger and still made sense after writing the essay.

Dreaming of that face again.
It's bright and blue and shimmering.
Grinning wide
And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes.
On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again
Rising up
And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye.
In... Out... In... Out... In... Out...
A child's rhyme stuck in my head.
It said that life is but a dream.
I've spent so many years in question
to find I've known this all along.
"So good to see you.
I've missed you so much.
So glad it's over.
I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running?"
Shroud-ing all the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me.
Black as holes within a memory
And blue as our new second sun.
I stick my hand into his shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand.
Which I attempt to reassemble
To see just who I might have been.
I do not recognize the vessel,
But the eyes seem so familiar.
Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing one familiar song...
"So good to see you.
I've missed you so much.
So glad it's over.
I've missed you so much.
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?"
Prying open my third eye.
So good to see you once again.
I thought that you were hiding.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing the tail of dogma.
I opened my eye and there we were.
So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding from me.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing a trail of smoke and reason.
Prying open my third eye
It's bright and blue and shimmering.
Grinning wide
And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes.
On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again
Rising up
And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye.

Music/songs aren't about grades, they're about how they work, and if in a song short and simple words work, then it's not going to get "marked down" for that against another song which has longer words.
Maybe a song with only acoustic guitar should auomatically be looked upon less favourably thna one with say 4 different instruments, because it's less complex in terms of the music? That sounds like a good plan.
I know it's not going to get marked down and the person with the smaller vocabulary will probably pass but it still won't be on the level of the person with the larger vocabulary.
But in reality, the person with the larger vocabulary is better than the person with the smaller vocabulary.
Or at least that's how I view it.

Why not just say in your OP that whatever we post will be completely ignored and will deem us dumbasses in your eyes?
You asked a question. Plenty of people posted some damn good artists/lyrics that are even studied and analyzed in a college environment. But no, the universities must be dumb to hold classes such as those. What the hell were they thinking? I mean after all, those lyrics are pure and utter garbage in your eyes so clearly they must suck and not be worth anyone's time.
You talk about US being closed minded?
Ok, I think that tells us all we need to know.
Thank you very much, now where's the ignore user option on the forums?
Wait, shoudl I have used bigger words to say all that?
OMG, maybe I'm not as good as someone who uses bigger words then me
Wait, OMG? Maybe I should expand that so it doesn't look so small and simple, and make me look small and simple

Maybe I gave you the impression that every rap song is more lyrical than any rock song. No. There are some rap songs that aren't as lyrical as 'When I'm Flowin', but the story telling, metaphors, references are superior (IMO) to songs such as Bob Dylans which give me no illusion.
When I close my eyes, I can't picture it.
That's when Bob Dylan sings it.
Now, when Nas does some story telling, I can picture it.
Why is that?

Why is that?
Because you already have a bias towards Nas?
Edit: You changed artists.
Many, many poets and librettists of old would tear that apart. Regardless, here's one of my personal favorites:
Am Abend da es kühle war,
ward Adams Fallen offenbar,
am Abend drücket ihn der Heiland nieder,
am Abend kam die Taube wieder
und trug ein Ölblatt in dem Munde,
o schöne Zeit, o Abendstunde!
Der Friedensschluß ist nun mit Gott gemacht;
denn Jesus hat sein Kreuz vollbracht,
sein Leichnam kömmt zur Ruh,
ach, liebe Seele, bitte du,
geh, lasse dir den toten Jesum schenken,
o heilsames, o köstlichs Angedenken!
