That isn't a plot, that's an outline. Do you just read the blurb on the back of the book and then think you've read it, or see a film summary and then think you know every scene in that movie? The answer is no!
He can really afford to hash out the details of what he wants to say. If he just works from the outline and uses that as his overall plan for the rap then he could get the whole thing down in about 6-10 lines, which isn't much of a rap. Such as:
"You may be my dad, but I despise you.
Coming back from work each day stinking of booze.
You beat my sister and you cheat on my mum.
It makes me sick that we're related, I'm ashamed to be your son."
Ok, that was 4 lines and I covered everything that was given in the outline. Like I said, he needs to put all the details down beforehand if its going to have direction and substance. Its like planning an essay, you can produce something decent without planning sometimes, but it works much better if you work it out, line by line almost, beforehand.
