Title: Erase / Cut Loose

Artist: Mike White Cloudwalker Music

🎤 Structured Song Version

Today started like a good day…

Didn’t know it’d end this way…

Woke up, felt right, slid into my ride

Coffee and two donuts, early morning vibe

Cruisin’ down the road, sayin’ “yeah, I feel good”

Headed to the job, everything like it should

Walked in the building, something felt strange

Saw a man at the door, like life ’bout to change

Passed by the office, heard my name get called

“Gino, step inside”—yeah, I felt that fall

Erase… cut loose… everything I knew

Ten years gone—what I’m supposed to do?

Cut loose… no excuse… life hit me today

What do I tell my baby when I walk home this way?

Erase… cut loose… dreams fall through

But I’m still standin’, yeah, I’m pushin’ through

He said, “You do good work, I ain’t gon’ lie

But today your last day”—no reason why

Two choices laid out, didn’t feel right

Leave now, or stay eight hours then gone by night

Ten years deep, man, I gave my soul

Plans for a house, tryin’ to reach that goal

Everybody knew but ain’t say a word

Now I’m standin’ there shocked by what I just heard

They said, “Everything happens for a reason, my friend”

But it’s hard to hear that when it’s all ’bout to end

Pride in my chest, I worked that shift

Took my check and pension—life took a twist

They said, “Where you go?”—I said, “restroom break”

Whole place whisperin’ ’bout the move they make

Security watchin’, yeah, they on my trail

Like I’m some story they just waitin’ to tell

Walked out that door, hear ’em say “there he go”

Nobody feelin’ what I really know

Ten years gone, just like that—poof

Now I’m headin’ home with the honest truth

Erase… cut loose… everything I knew

Ten years gone—what I’m supposed to do?

Cut loose… no excuse… life hit me today

What do I tell my baby when I walk home this way?

I’ma tell her the truth…

I been let go…

But we gon’ move forward…

Even if we gotta downsize…

We still got each other…

🔥 What I did for you:

Cut the filler, kept the story sharp

Built a clear hook (this is what makes it a song, not just make it happen

Verses: more rap / spoken-word

→ storytelling, conversational, real-life detail

Hook (chorus): more R&B / melodic

→ stretched vocals, emotion, repetition

Overall vibe:

→ emotional hip-hop / soul rap
