Don't Be a Nasty Shit
Acoustic jazz-pop song in a major key at a moderate tempo. The instrumentation includes acoustic guitar, upright bass, drums, and a male vocalist. The acoustic guitar plays a fingerpicked arpeggiated chord progression throughout the song, providing a warm and consistent harmonic foundation. The upright bass provides a walking bass line, adding to the jazz feel. The drums play a light, brushed rhythm, emphasizing the relaxed atmosphere. The male vocalist sings in a smooth, conversational baritone, with a clear and present delivery. The song structure is verse-chorus with an instrumental break. The melody is simple and memorable, with a slightly melancholic yet hopeful tone. Production elements include a clean mix with a natural reverb, giving the instruments a spacious and organic sound. The vocals are upfront and well-integrated into the mix.

Lyrics
Instrumental intro
Verse 1
Sometimes I catch myself being mean
Over nothing, just 'cause I'm feeling tense, you know?
Like when you're trying to tell me something
But I'm already thinking of where to go
I wanna be the person that you see
When you talk about who I could be
Chorus
Don't be a nasty shit
(I'm saying it to me)
Don't be a nasty shit
(It's easier than it seems)
...Don't be a nasty shit...
Post-chorus
Small things matter more than you think they do
Being kind costs nothing, and it feels good too
Don't be a nasty shit
I need to know how not to be
Instrumental
Verse 2
Yesterday I rolled my eyes at you
Over nothing, like I sometimes do
The exhaustion that I often feel
It's not fair, even though it's very real
'Cause you were just trying to connect
And I gave you attitude instead
Chorus
Don't be a nasty shit
(I'm saying it to me)
Don't be a nasty shit
(It's easier than it seems)
...Don't be a nasty shit...
Post-chorus
These little moments add up to more than you think
To show patience doesn't cost a thing
Don't be a nasty shit
I'm figuring it out, how, how
Break
Bridge
Maybe if I pause before I speak
Take a breath when you're feeling weak
Remember that we're all just trying
To make it through the day without crying
Let's think about all the ways we fail
Each other on this winding trail
Chorus
Don't be a nasty shit
(I'm saying it to me)
Don't be a nasty shit
(It's easier than it seems)
...Don't be a nasty shit...
Post-chorus
Small things matter more than you think they do
Too easy to forget that others can hurt too
Don't be a nasty shit
It's not like I'm learning something new...
