## **“Not My Yes”** **[Intro — bass pulse, close vocal]** I said, clean the noise. Not me. **[Verse 1 — clipped, syncopated]** Sent a rough take in for a cleaner mix. One small tick under a page of text. Now my laugh’s on a launch page, saying lines I never wrote. Same little break in “maybe,” same catch inside the throat. **[Pre-Chorus — breaks tighten]** I can hear the cut where the consent should be. You kept the sound. You skipped the “me.” **[Chorus — fast breaks, open guitar chords]** That was my voice, not my yes. You got the sound; you missed the rest. I gave you one take, not my name. Don’t use my mouth to make your claim. **[Post-Chorus — bass-led chant]** Not my— not my yes. Not my— not my yes. **[Verse 2 — bass pushes; dry delivery]** A friend sent me a clip and asked if it was mine. The first one sounded close. The next got my timing right. I heard my small inhale before the sentence turned. A perfect imitation. Nobody asked me first. **[Pre-Chorus]** I can hear the cut where the consent should be. You kept the sound. You skipped the “me.” **[Chorus]** That was my voice, not my yes. You got the sound; you missed the rest. I gave you one take, not my name. Don’t use my mouth to make your claim. **[Breakdown — half-time, guitar and exposed vocal]** I still use the tool to take the noise away. That’s what makes the line so hard to place. **[Final chorus — bright, forceful; keep the vocal clear]** That was my voice, not my yes. You got the sound; you missed the rest. I gave you one take, not my name. Don’t use my mouth to make your claim. **[Outro — groove cuts; processed echo trails the lead]** I said, clean the noise. Not me.
