I AM NOT A RAPPER GO EASY ON ME
The 4 words you never want to hear from your partner.
Rapping in 3 bar phrases instead of the typical 4 bars, and also rapping in 7/8! woooo
THE PLAN:
This is part of a project I'm doing called "7-Day Songs"! I'm challenging myself to write, record, and edit a new original song/video each week, every Tuesday. Planning to do this until the shelter-in-place/lockdown ends, might extend this past that!
I'm mainly a piano player & songwriter, not so much a bass player/recorder/mixer at all, so please bear with me as I try to improve these upcoming weeks!

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
Uh
Same old shit
I wasn't too surprised when you said it
Seen it in every movie
Not a normal conversation
Signifying the termination
Of our relationship
Cause if that's how you're initiating
A part of you's hating this
No go on, I insist, say the rest
But if I had to guess
This conversation can only go in one direction
I don't know why you're masking your intentions for my protection
It's pretty obvious given your inflection that it's an
Instigation of an investigation
Of our compatibility
And our stability
Analysis of the probability
That you and me will be a thing tomorrow
Maybe you say it cause you know I know what you mean
Instead of cutting me off, you wean me
Shoot me first, kill me later. Thanks.
Oh, working with a timer
Setting up the knockout with a primer
Come to the audition prepped with the line
It's just 4 words
The worst I've ever heard
So innocent but I know what's inferred it's
Cliche, tried but true
It's almost like a warning, a last gift from you
To prepare me for the inevitable news that we are through
CHORUS
Why go for improv when you've got a script, yeah
Can't you be personal when ending it, yeah
Running to the finish line, you insist we walk
Tell me why
After weeks without a word
We need to talk - oooh!
Tell me why
After weeks without a word
We need to talk - oooh!
Tell me why
After weeks without a word
We need to talk
No! No! No, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fucking - fuck -
Okay, I'm not fine, okay? It's just -
I don't wanna have this conversation. I've seen every movie, I know exactly how this goes. I could just do the whole damn thing myself.
But I don't wanna do it in 4/4, I need something unstable, like us!
7?
VERSE 2
Yo I know it's been a minute since we've been intimate
I been thinking of us and our future and what's in it
I think we're finished, not you it's me
I think as a couple we have trouble, the rubble that
comes from destroying the foundation of our love
Will show to you that space is really what we need
Trying your best to make sure I don't cry
At the same time make it clear as the sky
You want me to be that guy
Going in with the intent to give a hundred and ten percent
Need to implement some sort of event with a romantic incentive The message was sent loud and clear
I heard it the first time, no foul no crime
I'm falling behind on the criteria for cheering ya up
To the possibility for staying with me
Guess you could've said I saw this coming
Not just cause I'm ugly and you're stunning
But your lack of communication until this
Situation was the awakening that I really needed
When a couple fights a demon we must defeat it not
Back away, retreating, ignore it and concede to it
Kinda conceded this is how we're deleted
Maybe we could beat it if we both really try
But I don't think you wanna, and neither do I
CHORUS
Why go for improv when you've got a script, yeah
Can't you be personal when ending it, yeah
Running to the finish line, you insist we walk
Tell me why
After weeks without a word
We need to talk - oooh!
Tell me why
After weeks without a word
We need to talk - oooh!
Tell me why
After weeks without a word
We need to talk - oooh!
Tell me why
After weeks without a word
We need to talk - oooh!
Tell me why
After weeks without a word
We need to talk
