# [INTERLUDE — INTRO] *(soft dark pad, faint choir, almost acapella)* They don't know me yet… Good. Let 'em guess. *(low vocal)* I came in with a song. Then life gave me another voice. --- ## [BUILD — MALE SINGING] *(one piano note, drone slowly rising)* I hear the city when it gets quiet I hear my thoughts when nobody's around I had a melody inside my chest Now there's another sound *(choir hum)* Ohhh… Another sound… --- ## [VERSE 1 — MALE RAP] *(drums enter one piece at a time, slow head-bounce)* I don't need a big entrance I just step in Everybody watchin' I don't let 'em in Too many talk like they know my intentions I keep my plans where the money is kept I got one on me when I'm out in the city Not for the image, I move with respect I was down, had to learn how to stretch it Now every dollar got somewhere to go Mama said, “Make sure the family good” So that's the first thing I handle at home I don't do threats I don't do theater You can throw a little shot I don't need to receive it Keep that same energy Keep that same tone Just remember who you talkin' to When you mention my home --- ## [BEAT SWITCH — DARK R&B] *(drums vanish, choir opens wide)* Funny… You hear the rap But that's not where I started. *(melody)* I had a little voice Before I had a hard heart Had a little dream Before I learned the hard parts I still sing when the room gets dark Still write when the city goes cold Still got that kid somewhere inside He just don't get to drive us home --- ## [VERSE 2 — MALE RAP] *(drums return, faster pocket for four bars)* Now watch— One-two, keep up No sleep, still up New check, bills hit Handle that, still up No fake shit No fake friends No long speeches No loose ends You can sneak diss I can read that You can backpedal I can see that Whole time I'm somewhere Thinking 'bout the next move You think I'm mad? I'm too damn busy to prove *(beat cuts)* That's the difference. --- ## [BRIDGE — MALE SINGING] *(deep synth, choir melody follows lead)* Maybe I'm both Maybe that's the truth One voice wants peace One voice cuts through I don't gotta hide Every side of me You hear the melody Then the street in me *(high run)* Oooohhh… --- ## [VERSE 3 — MALE] *(unexpected slow pocket, almost spoken)* I seen broke turn ambition Seen pressure make decisions Seen people lose direction Just from chasing recognition So I keep mine close Keep the circle on lock Keep the money moving Keep the family on top And when the beat knock I don't gotta yell I can say one line And let the silence sell That's Jaycee. *(one piano hit)* Remember that. --- ## [FINAL BUILD] *(choir rises, drone swells, 808 rumble underneath)* You thought this was a love song… *(pause)* Nah. You thought this was a drill song… *(pause)* Not exactly. [BEAT SLAMS] It's both. --- ## [FINAL DROP — MALE SINGING → RAP] *(huge head-bounce, distorted 808)* I had a song in me Now I got a war in me I had a dream in me Now there's more in me I don't need to pick one I don't need to hide one You gon' hear the pretty notes Then you gon' hear the night come *(rap)* Jaycee in the building Now remember the sound First they hear the melody Then the whole thing pounds No introduction I just gave you the proof One voice got the heart Other voice got the truth ## [OUTRO — MALE] *(everything strips back to choir)* This is only the beginning. *(soft)* Jaycee.
