I Got Words is a musical and humorous rap documentary where rhymes are much more than similar sounds. The film tells the personal story of the Norwegian rapper, writer, and filmmaker Runar Gudnason and his journey back in time to find out why he became a rapper. The journey takes him via Denmark, where he discovered the rap genre, further to a deeper encounter with his late artist father, and finally to his own son and his relationship with rap. It is a story of the magic of words and rhymes, the sound of words, the meaning of words, and everything that happens in between.
