INTRO – Soft Pads (no percussion yet)
(Soft female hums in background: “oooh… ahhh…”)
BLACK FEMALE ALTO (smooth, intimate):
They whisper when I walk in —
Like trouble’s in my name.
Say I bend the rules too easy,
Like I’m playing some kind of game.
(Soft male tenor harmony enters underneath)
But I don’t break for pressure —
I don’t scare that easy.
If loving who I am is wrong,
Then wrong comes naturally.
🥁 GROOVE ENTERS (light vocal percussion)
MALE VOCAL PERC (subtle):
Doom–ka… tss… doom–ka…
BLACK MALE TENOR (silky):
You can call me dangerous —
Call me what you need.
BLACK FEMALE SOPRANO (airy head voice echo):
Dangerous…
BLACK MALE BARITONE:
But I bloom where fire grows —
I’m exactly what I see.
🎶 PRE-CHORUS (Layered Harmony Build)
FEMALE ALTO:
I may be bad —
MALE TENOR (harmony above):
Bad —
FEMALE SOPRANO (soft float):
Bad…
ALL (tight stack):
But I’m perfect good at it.
💥 CHORUS – Rich, Controlled Power
FULL ENSEMBLE:
I may be bad —
But I’m perfect good at it.
Every scar I ever had
Turned to gold the minute I hit it.
MALE BASS (deep resonance):
Good at it…
FEMALES (soft background pads):
Ooooh…
ALL:
You can judge, you can stare,
But I’m already owning it.
If being bold is a crime —
Then I’m fluent in it.
🎶 VERSE 2 – Male Lead Focus
BLACK MALE BARITONE (confident, grounded):
They told me keep it quiet,
Keep my brilliance low.
But diamonds don’t apologize
For how they glow.
FEMALE ALTO (response):
We don’t shrink for comfort —
MALE TENOR:
We don’t fade for peace —
SOFT FEMALE BACKING (whisper harmony):
No, we don’t…
🔥 BUILD SECTION – Call & Response
MALE LEAD:
If I’m the villain —
FEMALE LEAD:
Then I’m the blueprint —
MALE LEAD:
If I’m too much —
FEMALE LEAD:
Then you’re just used to less —
GROUP (crescendo):
Less… less… less…
(Vocal percussion drops out briefly)
🎶 BREAKDOWN – Half-Time, Bass Forward
MALE BASS (spotlight, almost spoken melody):
Good at it.
Every flaw fitted.
Every doubt flipped it.
Every label — lifted.
(Fingers snap softly)
FEMALE SOPRANO (floating riff above):
Ahh–ahh–ahhh…
🎤 FINAL CHORUS – Full Harmony Expansion
(Vocal percussion returns stronger)
ALL (bigger stack):
I may be bad —
But I’m perfect good at it.
You can throw your shade —
But I stand tall in it.
MALE TENOR (run):
Good at it — ohhh —
FEMALE ALTO (belted warmth):
Perfect good at it!
MALE BARITONE:
Walk like I own the floor —
FEMALE SOPRANO (high sustained note):
Own it —
MALE BASS:
Speak like I’ve been here before —

Bad…

But I’m good…

Perfect good at it.
(All voices resolve into a warm, tight R&B chord.)
