Vocal Direction

• HIM (Male): Gritty, confident rap delivery — sharp, quick, holds his own. Not a pushover — he lands real points.

• HER (Female): Clean, crisp vocals — composed and light even under pressure, never has to raise her voice, but she’s not untouchable either.

• This is a genuine back-and-forth: both trade wins across the song. Neither fully “loses” until the very last line.

Verse 1 — HIM (rap, gritty)

I got you figured out before you speak

You think you’re slick but you’re predictable, weak

I’ve seen your kind, every trick in the book

I’ll call your bluff before you even took the look

Verse 1 Response — HER (rap, clean/light)

That’s cute, you think you’re playing chess

I’m already three moves past your best

You’re still reading the rules I wrote for you

Smiling the whole time — that’s the tell you missed too

Hook — HER (yodel, bright and clean)

Yo-dle-ay-hee, catch me if you can-ay-hee

Yo-dle-ay-hoo, I’m already gone from you-ooh

Yo-dle-ay-hee, smiling in the dark-ay-hee

You’ll never see the trick ‘til it’s already done

Verse 2 — HIM (rap, sharper, landing a hit)

Nah, hold up — you slipped right there

Called it “rules I wrote” but you’re still playing scared

If you’re three moves ahead like you claim to be

Why’s your hand still shaking reaching back for me?

Verse 2 Response — HER (rap, slightly rattled, recovering)

…Cute catch. Didn’t think you’d see that part.

Fine — maybe you’re sharper than the rest, for a start.

But knowing my hand shakes don’t mean you know why

Could be fear, could be something you’ll never verify

Battle Bridge (call-and-response, rapid back-and-forth)

[HIM] See, I told you I’m not just noise—

[HER] No, you’re not — I’ll give you that, boy.

[HIM] Then admit it, I got one on you—

[HER] One. Just one. Don’t get used to it too.

[HIM, yodel attempt, clumsy] Yo-dle… ay… hoo?

[HER, laughing, clean] …Baby, don’t quit your day job.

[HIM] Alright, alright — round’s still open—

[HER, yodel, sharp] Yo-dle-ay-hee, then let’s keep going!

Verse 3 — HIM (rap, pushing again)

You’re good, I said it, I’ll say it twice

But good ain’t the same as always right

I’ve watched you slip when the lights get low

That crack in the smile — yeah, I see it, I know

Verse 3 Response — HER (rap, honest, no longer just performing)

…Yeah. Maybe I do. Maybe that’s true.

Maybe the smile’s a door I walk through too.

But here’s the thing you still don’t understand —

I never needed you to not see behind it, man.

Final Hook — BOTH (trading lines, tighter, more entangled)

HER (lead, clean):

Yo-dle-ay-hee, catch me if you can-ay-hee

HIM (rap, underneath):

(Almost did — almost, not quite—)

HER:

Yo-dle-ay-hoo, I’m already gone from you-ooh

HIM:

(Yeah, yeah — but I made you run—)

BOTH (together, final line):

That Cheshire smile was never the whole story

Outro — HIM (spoken, genuinely impressed)

…Alright. That one’s a draw.

HER (spoken, warmer than before, less performative)

Yeah. I think it actually is.
