Louder Than Their Words

rap, Warm piano and airy pads under a mid-tempo boom-bap bounce, Female vocals lead with melodic rap-singing on the hook and first verse; male voice answers with a grittier rap second verse, Subtle vocal chops in the background of the chorus, layered harmonies on the title line, Final chorus lifts with extra ad-libs and a slightly wider stereo image for an anthemic finish, female vocals, male vocals

V4.5-ALL

[Intro]
They don't know you
They don't own you (nah)
Look in that mirror
Let it show you

[Chorus – Female]
Don’t let what people say bring you down
They talk loud, but they don’t wear your crown
You’re better than you think you are
Way brighter than your scars, you’re a star
Don’t let what people say bring you down
Turn that doubt to a different sound
You’re better than you think you are
Way better, way better by far (oh-woah)

[Verse 1 – Female]
They throw shade when they see you rise
Scrollin’ through the comments, start believin’ lies
But they don’t know the nights you cried, eyes dry
Still showed up, heart heavy, held high
You got dreams they can’t even pronounce
Counted out, but you learnin’ to lose count
Every “you can’t” that they ever put on you
Put it in a verse, let it burn, push through

[Verse 2 – Male]
Yeah
I remember feelin’ small in that classroom
Teacher said I’d never make it past June
Jokes on them, I was plantin’ roots deep
Now I stand tall where they said I’d never reach
People love to project what they’re scared of
Try to clip wings when you air up
But listen, that voice in your chest
That’s the one you protect, that’s the one you respect

[Bridge – Female + Male]
[Beat drops slightly, more space in the drums]
(Female) What if you’re stronger than your fear?
(Male) What if your future’s already here?
(Female) What if you’re closer than you see?
(Both) What if the person that you doubt is me?

[Chorus – Female + Male]
Don’t let what people say bring you down
(Keep your head, keep your head up now)
They talk loud, but they don’t wear your crown
(They can talk, they don’t run this town)
You’re better than you think you are
Way brighter than your scars, you’re a star (you’re a star)
Don’t let what people say bring you down
Turn that doubt to a different sound
You’re better than you think you are
Way better, way better by far (way better)
