[Shelly DRAFT (V4 test]

[Intro – horns, bounce]
(Doo)
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Uh!
Woo!
Let’s go!
---
[Verse 1]
Fresh paint, new skin
I don’t fit where I’ve been
Mirror said, “Who dat?”
Said, “Boy, that’s him.”
Used to hide, now I show
Used to fold, now I glow
Got my colours on my sleeve
And my foot’s on go—
---
[Refrain – call & response + hits]
I’m too bright (Hot dayumm!)
Drippin' light like I’m plugged in
Too fresh (Oh, snap!)
Even my reflection took a pic
Too sharp (Watch out!)
Cut through silence with my fit
Too slick (Can’t lie!)
Got your girl sayin’ “who’s this?!”
---
[Pre-Chorus – chanty, iconic energy]
Damn, don’t I look loud? (Woo!)
Like a rainbow in a crowd! (Woo!)
Damn, don’t I shine right? (Yeah!)
Real bold — not that filtered light!
---
[CHORUS – classic funk chorus line w/ horns]
🎨 LOOK AT MY COLOURS — can’t tone down
Even the moon got jealous now
🎨 LOOK AT MY COLOURS — stitched with pride
You don’t fake this kinda vibe
🎨 LOOK AT MY COLOURS — head to toe
Built this glow from hurt, now watch me go!
🎨 LOOK AT MY COLOURS — true, not fake
I don’t blend in — I make ‘em shake!
---
[Verse 2 – more strut]
Walk in, heads turn
My coat loud like a sunburn
Gold rings, blue kicks
Got more hues than your Netflix
Red flags? I wore 'em
Now I rock ‘em like decor, and
Every scar got shine now
I dress pain in high style
---
[Refrain – variation with punch]
I’m too clean (Click-click!)
Pop so hard, I broke the scene
Too bold (Yup-yup!)
Even my silence made a meme
Too fly (Whew!)
Even pigeons want my theme
Too fine (C’mon!)
You gon’ dream me in your sleep—
---
[Pre-Chorus – crowd call vibe]
Damn, don’t I look loud? (Say what?)
Like I walked straight off a cloud! (You did!)
Damn, don’t I shine bright? (Oh yeah!)
This ain’t no edit, this my light!
---
[CHORUS – full flex]
LOOK AT MY COLOURS — loud and clear
Even my past got drip this year
LOOK AT MY COLOURS — can't be cloned
This ain’t rent — I own this tone
LOOK AT MY COLOURS — ooh that hue
Real ones know I broke right through
LOOK AT MY COLOURS — all me, no mask
Post-cocoon — I hatched with class!
---
[BRIDGE – funky chant + whisper]
Drip, drip, don’t trip (uh)
True shades, no script (uh)
Tail so bright, it flicks (yeah)
Call that: peacock drip.
---
[Final Chorus – instruments break out, full volume]
LOOK AT MY COLOURS — can't ignore
Walk so loud I slam the floor
LOOK AT MY COLOURS — built from pain
Now they shimmer when I rain
LOOK AT MY COLOURS — tell the crowd
I’m the canvas, I’m the sound
LOOK AT MY COLOURS — boom, boom, pow
You knew the old me — look at me now.
---
[Outro – horns fade, strut off mic]
Mmhmm.
Too bright to dim.
Too bold to blend.
Colours, baby.
All me.
