Letterheads and Notes
Chill rap with city pop swing and laid-back boom-bap drums, brushed kick-snare pocket and glossy bassline; verses ride sparse keys and muted guitar, pre-chorus tightens with filtered claps and vocal stacks, chorus opens on bright Rhodes and chirpy synth stabs. Male vocals alternate sing-rap and talk-sung barbs, with shouted ad-libs and cheeky doubles on hook words. Ear candy: paper flips, pen clicks, reverse swells into chorus, short delay throws on punchlines. Mix is warm, punchy, and slightly neon-bright, rap, male vocals

Lyrics
Verse 1
I walked in late with a cracked name tag
Tie on wrong, but I still got swag
She said, “Sir, that folder looks kind of cursed”
I said, “Yeah, but my lunch got here first”
Coffee stain on my sleeve, don't ask
Boss says “Smile” like that’s a task
I got a stack of forms and a broken grin
And a phone that keeps buzzing again
Pre-Chorus
Stamp it once, then stamp it twice
My handwriting says “I’m not your type”
But I keep it neat, I keep it clean
Paper cuts in a pocket of dreams
Chorus
Letterheads and post-it notes
That’s my whole parade, that’s my whole joke
Letterheads and post-it notes
I’m barely held together, but I still float
Letterheads and post-it notes
(Write it down, write it down)
Letterheads and post-it notes
I make a mess look like a quote
Verse 2
Printer jammed like it knows my name
Blink twice when the copier starts to complain
I file receipts in a plastic throne
Then I roast my lunch in the break room phone
My manager sighs, “Can you do it again?”
I said, “Sure, but I’ll do it with flair, my friend”
Got a calendar full of tiny disasters
And a gold star for “almost faster”
Pre-Chorus
Stamp it once, then stamp it twice
My handwriting says “I’m not your type”
But I keep it neat, I keep it clean
Paper cuts in a pocket of dreams
Chorus
Letterheads and post-it notes
That’s my whole parade, that’s my whole joke
Letterheads and post-it notes
I’m barely held together, but I still float
Letterheads and post-it notes
(Write it down, write it down)
Letterheads and post-it notes
I make a mess look like a quote
Bridge
If you see me smiling, don’t be fooled
I just survived another Monday duel
Got a dented clip and a busted pen
Still I show up and do it again
Final Chorus
Letterheads and post-it notes
That’s my whole parade, that’s my whole joke
Letterheads and post-it notes
I’m barely held together, but I still float
Letterheads and post-it notes
(Write it down, write it down)
Letterheads and post-it notes
I make a mess look like a quote
