Rap:

It's been twenty-two long hard years of still struggling
Survival got me bugging, but I'm alive on arrival
I peep at the shape of the streets
And stay awake to the ways of the world cause s‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬hit is deep
A man with a dream with plans to make cream
Which failed; I went to jail at the age of fifteen
A young buck selling drugs and such who never had much
Trying to get a clutch at what I could not touch


Rock:

Bicycle bicycle bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle bicycle bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride it where I like

Good job cherry picking a rock song with simple lyrics and a rap song with more complex lyrics

Commander Keen.. get it? ( ゚ヮ゚)ap:

Here to tell you the truth, tell you I'm nervous
Tell you my story, tell you I'm worth it
Tell you my flaws and my faults and my doubts
Give you my heart and what's left of it now
Tell you my hurt, tell you my pain
Tell you the thoughts I keep trapped in my brain
Tell you that nothing's the same
Tell you I'm nothing much more than a man
And tell you I fear I may never find love
Tell you I'm getting in touch with above
And right now can't deny that I'm scared
All this music I wrote won't compare or warrant the buzz
Alone in my room, dissecting each line that I rhyme
I don't know how I finished on time
Missed the drop date three times, I know that I let you all down
Well I was the first in that line so

"Cemetry Gates" lyrics
THE SMITHS LYRICS
"Cemetry Gates"

A dreaded sunny day
So I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side

A dreaded sunny day
So I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
While Wilde is on mine

So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
All those people all those lives
Where are they now?
With the loves and hates
And passions just like mine
They were born
And then they lived and then they died
Seems so unfair
And I want to cry

You say: "ere thrice the sun done salutation to the dawn"
And you claim these words as your own
But I've read well, and I've heard them said
A hundred times, maybe less, maybe more

If you must write prose and poems
The words you use should be your own
Don't plagiarise or take "on loans"
There's always someone, somewhere
With a big nose, who knows
And who trips you up and laughs
When you fall
Who'll trip you up and laugh
When you fall

You say: "ere long done do does did"
Words which could only be your own
And then you then produce the text
From whence was ripped some dizzy hoe, 1804

A dreaded sunny day
So let's go where we're happy
And I meet you at the cemetery gates
Oh Keats and Yeats are on your side

A dreaded sunny day
So let's go where we're wanted
And I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
But you lose because Wilde is on mine

but rock lyrics are generally unimportant and are usually there to accentuate the lyrics while rap primarily depends on lyricism....

I personally like all forms of music pretty much. There are plenty of rap songs out there with really stupid/simple lyrics that are on the radio every day.

Well duh, rock is primarily the instruments. Without them you wouldn't have rock.

Needless to say, there are many rock songs with deep or complex lyrics.

Anyways, if your gonna compare rap to rock then you might as well compare apples to oranges.

Theres good rap artists out there like coolio, snoop dogg and eminem. And theres also good rock bands out there like disturbed, ozzy osbourne and avenged sevenfold. There are also dumb rap artists, like necro, and bad rock bands.

Rock without lyrics is music, rap without lyrics is just a beat.

I don't really like hip hop, but I like older hip hop especially old-school hip-hop. My favorite hip hop songs are "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang and "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

"Wake Me Up When September Ends - Greenday"

that song sucks ass and the lyrics are awful though

"Prayer of the Refugee - Rise Against ( More punk than rock, but close enough )

rise against sucks though and none of their lyrics are intelligent

"So Far Away - Avenged Sevenfold"

>Avenged Sevenfold
>intelligent lyrics
>let alone even remotely good
