what you know about keats

and that grecian urn?

what you know about keats

what you know about keats

what you know about keats

sit back and learn!

what you know about keats?

i think he was a poet?

exactly - what's his story?

was hoping you might know it?

a famous british dude

who so prolific

he died at 25

and his odes were sick

by ode you mean a shout out?

basically

like props

to nightingales and urns

the dude he wrote a lot

was he famous in his time? no

kind of like poe

or melville

history would prove he was dope

go back

mega ran

he gave props to an urn?

a vase for ashes

take notes and learn

imagine this urn just sitting in a closet

a metaphor chilling by itself

like a prophet

this vase told a story with pictures in the clay

pottery meets poetry? yo what did it say?

what you know about keats

what you know about keats

what you know about keats

and that grecian urn?

what you know about keats

what you know about keats

what you know about keats

sit back and learn!

let me paraphrase the poetry of one who wrote it well

life and death co exist

like heaven does with hell?

see

keats wrote a poem about art on the vase

of greek lovers dancing in a bucolic place

ancient lives eternal

both women and men

players in pursuit

bumping biggine in the benz?

wait slow down lars

'cause they didn't have cars

we're talking ancient greece

sorry mega

spit those bars

a cold pastoral

frozen in time

forever on that vase!

transcribed through a rhyme?

the fleeting scene

had the poet inspired

to write on his page with iambic fire?

see

beauty and truth

they were one and the same

synonymous together through a keatsian frame

while cities they all crumble that urn had advice?

his words will last forever

that mc was nice!

what you know about keats

what you know about keats

what you know about keats

and that grecian urn?

what you know about keats

what you know about keats

what you know about keats

sit back and learn!

because truth is beauty and beauty is truth

truth is beauty and beauty is truth

because truth is beauty and beauty is truth

truth is beauty and beauty is truth

peace!

yeah!

yeah fools!

what! keats!
