What are words worth?
What are words worth? - words.

Words in papers, words in books
Words on TV, words for crooks
Words of comfort, words of peace 
Words to make the fighting cease 
Words to tell you what to do 
Words are working hard for you 
Eat your words but don't go hungry 
Words have always nearly hung me.

Words of nuance, words of skill 
And words of romance are a thrill 
Words are stupid, words are fun 
Words can put you on the run.

Mots pressés, mots sensés
Mots qui disent la vérité
Mots maudits, mots mentis
Mots qui manquent le fruit d'esprit.

It's a rap race, with a fast pace
Concrete words, abstract words
Crazy words and lying words
Hazy words and dying words
Words of faith and tell me straight
Rare words and swear words
Good words and bad words.

Words can make you pay and pay
Four-letter words I cannot say
Panty, toilet, dirty devil
Words are trouble, words are subtle
Words of anger, words of hate
Words over here, words out there
In the air and everywhere
Words of wisdom, words of strife
Words that write the book I like
Words won't find no right solution
To the planet earth's pollution
Say the right word, make a million
Words are like a certain person
Who can't say what they mean
Don't mean what they say.
With a rap rap here and a rap rap there 
Here a rap, there a rap 
Everywhere a rap rap 

Rap it up for the common good 
Let us enlist the neighbourhood 
It's okay, I've overstood 
This is a wordy rappinghood, okay, bye.
