LEAVE THE MIC ON! LÝVYN — CAYUGA [Intro – electronic siren, filtered club bass] [Female lead – dry spoken] Attention please. Two thousand credits? Cute. I didn't come for the credits. [Pause] I came for the replay. [Beat Drop] [Verse 1 – tight female spoken-sung, driving club groove] One duck yelled, "CUT THAT MIC!" Then grabbed it for a whole damn track Spent his verse complaining 'bout the club [Beat Cut] Mate... you know you can just walk out? Slucky brought the Poultry Girls With his "da-da-dee-da-doe" I thought the track was buffering— [Beat Cut] ...Nope. That WAS the show. [Short female chuckle] Moody brought a brochure For his trouble with the geese Do we book our threats in advance? ...Or do you take walk-ins, please? [Pre-Chorus – bass filter opens, percussion tightens] I had a list I had a plan Then one more duck Got up and began [Beat Cut] [Female – dry spoken] DJ? Leave it on. [Chorus – big club groove, melodic female lead, short crowd responses] HEY! LEAVE THE MIC ON! [Short crowd] LET 'EM TALK! LET 'EM TALK! [Female lead] One more brag One more crown Rolling off the dock! HEY! LEAVE THE MIC ON! [Short crowd] DON'T STOP! DON'T STOP! [Female lead] Somebody fetch a fishing net The crowns are piling up! [Post-Chorus – rhythmic vocal hook] LEAVE IT ON! LEAVE IT ON! [Beat Cut] [Female – amused] Oh, he's still going? [Instrumental Drop – bass riff, DJ cuts] [Verse 2 – sharper female phrasing, heavier rhythmic drive] QUACKLASH says she doesn't give a quack And turned it into a hit For somebody with no fucks to give— [Beat Cut] ...You're giving quite a bit. [Single distant "OOOH!"] LC Duck Tape, final boss? Cardboard bill and button eyes If you lose, can we return you? [Beat Cut] ...Or is it final sale? [Female – small laugh] A crown came floating past the dock Three drakes lunged and nearly sank I turned it over with one wing— [Beat Cut] ...It's a bottle cap. Congrats. [Heavy Kick Re-Entry] [Pre-Chorus – filtered bass, rising rhythmic tension] I had a list I had a plan But look who's reaching For the mic again [Beat Cut] [Female – soft, sarcastic] Oh, please. Go ahead. [Chorus – same melody, harder bass] HEY! LEAVE THE MIC ON! [Short crowd] LET 'EM TALK! LET 'EM TALK! [Female lead] One more brag One more crown Rolling off the dock! HEY! LEAVE THE MIC ON! [Short crowd] DON'T STOP! DON'T STOP! [Female lead] Somebody fetch a fishing net The crowns are piling up! [Post-Chorus – bass-driven hook] LEAVE IT ON! LEAVE IT ON! [Instrumental Drop – synth riff, DJ filter fake-out] [Bridge – beat cuts to low sub, close female spoken] Right. Anybody else? [Pause] [Single filtered off-mic female voice] You asked us to leave the mic on. [Female lead] Correct. [Off-mic female voice] Then why'd you mute everybody else? [Long silence] [Female lead – deadpan] ... Quality control. [Small breathy laugh] DJ? Run it back. [Heavy Bass Re-Entry] [Final Chorus – energetic female lead, brief crowd accents] HEY! LEAVE THE MIC ON! [Short crowd] LET 'EM TALK! LET 'EM TALK! [Female lead] One more brag One more crown Rolling off the dock! HEY! LEAVE THE MIC ON! [Short crowd] DON'T STOP! DON'T STOP! [Female lead] Somebody fetch a fishing net The crowns are piling up! [Female lead – rhythmic] LEAVE IT ON! LEAVE IT ON! [Final Instrumental Drop – driving bass, sharp claps, DJ cuts] [Outro – groove strips to bass, spoken] [Female lead] Alright. Cut the mic. [Off-mic female voice] Thought you said leave it on. [Pause] [Female lead – deadpan] ...I meant theirs. [One deep bass hit] [End]
