The Evidence (AI, Musica)
[INTRO — spoken, restrained] I made the words. I made the choices. I kept the receipts. And I learned the difference between having the right to use something and owning every right in it. [VERSE 1] It started with a memory, a page, a life, a line, Seven voices at the table helping shape what came next in time. I wrote what I meant to say, I cut what wasn’t mine, Then I handed sound a doorway and let the machinery decide. [PRE-CHORUS] So draw the boundary clearly, don’t blur it just to sell: There are rights you hold by contract, and rights the law itself will tell. [CHORUS] I can claim what I created, I can prove what I supplied. I can keep the words I wrote and the choices I made inside. I can use the recording, I can release it, I can earn, but I won’t call every generated note a copyright that I earned. I know what I can claim. I know what I can’t claim. And I keep the evidence. [VERSE 2] Keep the source and keep the drafts, keep the prompts and every change, keep the original generation, keep the date and keep the page. Keep the subscription standing, keep the download as it came, keep the final master separate from the first machine-made frame. [PRE-CHORUS] If somebody asks who made it, I won’t manufacture a tale. I’ll say exactly what I contributed and exactly where the systems prevailed. [CHORUS] I can claim what I created, I can prove what I supplied. I can keep the words I wrote and the choices I made inside. I can distribute the recording, I can build upon the track, but I won’t turn a contract into something the law can’t back. I know what I can claim. I know what I can’t claim. And I keep the evidence. [BRIDGE] Memoir became a lyric. Seven Guides became a frame. Human intention entered first; the machine supplied a different kind of flame. No borrowed melody. No borrowed voice. No imitation dressed up as choice. No promise that a generated sound belongs exclusively to me. Just honest attribution, and a record of what I did to make it be. [FINAL CHORUS] I can claim what I created, and document the rest. I can tell the whole story without calling guesses facts. The words are mine where I wrote them. The source is mine where I made it. The contract tells me what I may do; the law tells me what is protected. I know what I can claim. I know what I can’t claim. And I keep the evidence. [OUTRO — quiet] Don’t make the claim bigger. Make the record stronger. Don’t hide the machinery. Tell the truth about the making. Then build.
