Sample excerpt

Been counted out, been left off every list, been the last name on the flyer, printed small. Now the whole room moves when I raise my fist and the ones who doubted lining up the wall.

What (what), say it louder for the back, who (who), the one you didn't pick. We don't ask the room to give it back, we take it and we take it quick.

Workshop noteFirst person turning plural, present, shouted. Crunk is not sung, it is chanted: build the chorus from one-word calls the crowd can scream back. At 148 BPM there is room for only three or four syllables per beat, so cut every article you can.
