"Alright now we're going to talk about word placement. Sometimes you might want to use one word in particular, and the word might not be enough syllables or it might just not be a proper word, so you want to find an alternative word to use in that place. Sometimes the word "see" would no be as big as "observation". Like: "It was hard for me to 'see'", but you might you might want to be like: "it was hard for me to me to make an 'observation', with all the constant hating, across the nation, but I'm embracing, the situations, that I be facing. I'd have had a whole different rhyme pattern if I'd have just said, "It's hard for me to see" or "be a G". Anyway, it kind of goes back to compound syllables. Sometimes you want to even look into other words and more complex words for the fact of not making your record sound as ignorant, or make your record sound so...I hate A B C rappers. I hate the alphabet rappers. I hate the A B C rappers. I hate the Cat In the Hat rappers. I hate the Sam I Am, Green Eggs and Ham rappers. So you want to always try to elevate yourself to the next level in your making music and your word. We're going to call this one "Word Choice", and your choice of words and exactly what word you use where. The last word isn't always the most important word. Sometimes the first and the third word is the most important."
