Question on a rap lyrics sentence composition

Question

Hi, Ive composed a rap lyric and sentnce and wanted to ask your ehlp.
Could you please check if it makes sense, for me. Also could you check plz let me know if you understand it.

Kicking up some historical facts, sand, dunes this paper as the sahara, its like that. Like the phrase what the said from way back. in the 1800s

Clive · Accepted Answer

None of that makes any sense to me.

Which words form the lyric?.

Dave_anon · Answer

No, it was difficult. Rap usually has more rhyme and beat

I learnt that Sahara is an ancient word for 'largest desert' which is literally true (unless you count the polar ice caps). Also, it was divided on paper by the French from about the 1830s

Maybe there are ideas in your lines, but I think it needs some work

The sentence is compsed about the music i write.
Whats im saying is, that I write music with historical references (kicking up, sand can be kicked up, held, in a sense called upon) .
<SON: a new york term, i believe> Sand dunes this paper like the sahara fill the paper like the sahara (is.. playing of is to the next word, its)
'Its like that' being a figure of speech. reiterating the point
correction it should be: Like the phrase, from way back, said in the 1800's or Like in the 1800's, thats way back or way back. or maybe that far back.

The phrase from way back originated in the 1800's and is the pivotal point to tie in the whole lyric.

Hope that makes sense. thanks!

You might want to consider what kind of audience your lyrics are intended for.
eg Is it the same audience that inner-city ghetto-style rap is aimed at?

Yes and No,
Im trying to blend in slang with proper grammar in english as well and structure and creativity.
Im was aiming for wordplay and pronounciation. Leaving the research of the meanings and definition to the listener.

Not neccessary ghetto-style, but be aggresive in that way. more so like Jay Z or rappers with a wide, audience and writing spectrum. Not tied down to a specific area, but o make a point using poetry, words and speech.

Clive · Answer

I don't listen to rap.
Your lyrics are incomprehensible to me.

Perhaps a fan of rock will offer you some comments. I hope so.

There are some slangs that are not "universal", they cannot be understood by everyone in the world, and that is not very interesting if your purpose is educational. You could use formal words too, just because it's rap does not mean it has to be poor in vocabulary. Try to use formal words that are strange, sometimes they sound funny, and jokes are aways welcome and entertaining. You could post more of this rap here so that we would be able to get the complete idea.
