(INTRO)
[Music: Starts with a bright, repetitive High-life guitar pluck and a quick shaker. A deep, bubbly bassline kicks in immediately. A voice speaks over the beat with confidence]
Yeah. Comparison is the thief of joy, you know? Just be you.
(CHORUS - 0:00-0:25)
[The full beat drops—bouncy kick drums, a crisp snare on the backbeat, and rhythmic synth stabs. The vocals are melodic and infectious]
If I be you, tell me who go be me?
Two stars in the sky, but we don’t see what you see.
I’m in my lane, you’re in your lane, different speed,
I got a different kind of hunger, different kind of need.
So I’m thankful for the breath, thankful for the skin,
I’m comfortable exactly in the body that I’m in.
(VERSE 1 - 0:25-0:55)
[The drums stay steady, but the guitar riff becomes a bit more subtle to let the lyrics shine. Occasional melodic "Hey!" ad-libs in the background]
I see you shining, and I clap for your light,
But I don’t need your sun to make my own day bright.
Envy is a weight, and I’m trying to fly,
Why would I want your wings when I own my own sky?
I see the gold on your neck, but I know the weight,
I’d rather carry my own small plate and feel great.
Your blessing is a suit that was tailored for you,
If I put it on, tell me what would I do?
(CHORUS - 0:55-1:20)
[Energy peaks again. The bassline becomes more active and "walks" through the rhythm]
If I be you, tell me who go be me?
Two stars in the sky, but we don’t see what you see.
I’m in my lane, you’re in your lane, different speed,
I got a different kind of hunger, different kind of need.
So I’m thankful for the breath, thankful for the skin,
I’m comfortable exactly in the body that I’m in.
(VERSE 2 - 1:20-1:50)
[A bright trumpet or sax-style synth riff plays between the lines. The beat feels light and "happy”]
Now move to the rhythm of your own heartbeat,
No be everyone go follow you for the street.
Step one, step two, keep the balance,
Celebrate your flaws, celebrate your talents.
Life is a gift, no be competition,
Staying as yourself is the only mission.
I’m holding my peace while I’m finding my way,
My own kind of light won't ever fade away.
(BRIDGE)
[The drums drop out for 4 bars, leaving just the melodic guitar and a clapping rhythm. The vocals are layered for a "party" effect]
One of one... no be two.
Nobody fit do am like you.
Be the legend... be the truth!
[Beat builds back up with a fast drum roll]
(CHORUS - REPEAT)
[Maximum energy. This is the big dance moment]
If I be you, tell me who go be me?
Two stars in the sky, but we don’t see what you see.
I’m in my lane, you’re in your lane, different speed,
I got a different kind of hunger, different kind of need.
So I’m thankful for the breath, thankful for the skin,
I’m comfortable exactly in the body that I’m in.
(OUTRO - 1:50-2:04)
[The drums stop, leaving the smooth bass and the guitar to slowly fade out]
Be original.
Don't be a copy.
If I be you, the world is missing a legend.
(Smooth bass finish)
