Passive Voice

[Intro] This is Meenyminy And let me show you this song Here we go! [Verse 1] Yo, let me drop some knowledge 'bout the passive voice A slick technique for ESL learners, your new choice When actions matter more than who's doing the deed That's when you flip it, use the passive, take the lead [Verse 2] Take a sentence like "We use the passive voice frequently" In the passive, the subject is set itself free "The passive voice is used frequently," now it's center stage See how the passive voice can turn the page? [Chorus] It's all 'bout the passive voice, let me break it down Shift the focus, switch it up, change the way it sounds When the subject's not the star, let the action be In the passive voice, never forget, verb to be + verb three [Verse 3] Check it out, like "She baked the cake with care" Switch it up to passive, now the cake's in the air "The cake was baked with care," now it's in the spotlight Passive voice got you thinking, yeah, that's right [Chorus] It's all 'bout the passive voice, let me break it down Shift the focus, switch it up, change the way it sounds When the subject's not the star, let the action be In the passive voice, never forget, verb to be + verb three [Bridge] If you're not sure who's doing what, or it's not the key Passive voice steps in, sets your writing free Just rearrange, add a form of "be," you'll see The passive voice works like magic, can't you agree? [Verse 4] Like "They will build this house tomorrow" In the passive, "This house will be built," now let it flow Focus on the action, let the subject take a break That's the power of the passive voice, for goodness sake [Chorus] It's all 'bout the passive voice, let me break it down Shift the focus, switch it up, change the way it sounds When the subject's not the star, let the action be In the passive voice, never forget, verb to be + verb three [Outro] Now you've got the tool, go ahead and give it a try Using the passive voice, watch your language fly It's a skill for clarity, emphasis, and style Master the passive voice, elevate your rap profile [Instrumental Outro]
