Sample excerpt

Auntie got the grill lit, cousin got the speaker, whole block outside 'cause the AC gave out. Grandma in the lawn chair judging every sneaker, this is what a good day is about.

Move it, move it, don't stand on the wall (don't stand on the wall), if you came here shy, you came here wrong. Somebody's mama gon' outdance us all and the block don't stop till the sun is gone.

Workshop noteSecond person, present, imperative. Bounce is call-and-response first and lyric second: repeat the command, echo it, then let one funny image land. At 100 BPM the Triggerman pattern doubles the syllables, so keep the words short and trust the repetition.
