What you write down on your notepad is your basis: ideas, thoughts and in the end a text that rhymes (if not, it can be considered poetry). Then you spit them to a beat and probably edit a few things here and there to improve your flow.

So if you look at the piece of paper alone, it's not clear whether or not it has a connection with rap...it could but you can also use it as a poem or as the lyrics for another genre of music. But in this context, I believe there is a connection because many of us write some things down which form the basis for the track later.

Bleh, it's confusing...
