Similes & Metaphors!!!

A simile is a comparison using like or as. A metaphor is a comparison without using like or as. Similes and Metaphors are an important part of writing because they help describe things and they help create a visual in the reader or listener's mind. Similes and Metaphors both spice up the writing and help with getting the point across.

Shawty, I'ma only tell you this once, you the illest

Yo, he the type to pop tags and be cockin' the brim
Might breeze through The Ave, might stop at the gym
And he keep a do rag, keep his wave on swim
Wa-waves on swim so they hate on him

Anyway I think I met him sometime before
In a different life or where I record
I mean he was Adam, I think I was EveBut my vision ends with the apple on the tree

S on my chest 'cause I'm ready to save him
'Cause I'm the one like I'm Tracy McGrady
And I think I love him like Eminem is calling Shady
When he call me mama, lil' mama, I call him baby

And for your lovin' I'ma Die Hard like Bruce Willis

You, you got something all the girls want
You're like a candy store and I'm a toddler
