Sample excerpt

I apologized for taking up the room I paid for, I made myself agreeable and small. Then one morning I just stopped performing and nothing that I feared happened at all.

I'm not the backup, I'm not the maybe, I'm not the reason you get to feel tall. I spent my twenties learning how to shrink, and I'm spending the rest of it undoing it all.

Workshop noteFirst person, past into present, declarative. R&B empowerment must earn the belt note: build the verse low and narrow so the hook can open. At 100 BPM place the highest word on the downbeat of the chorus.
