Uncut Gem
Cyberpunk-forward with grunge and industrial elements, Mid-tempo (90–100 BPM), minor key, Heavy, driving bass with a synthetic edge, pulsing like machinery under neon light, Gritty, distorted guitars layered with industrial textures — metallic hits, low mechanical hums, subtle glitch accents, Drums are tight and punchy, more force than speed, with a strong backbeat and occasional industrial impacts, Verses restrained and confident, vocals close and controlled, Pre-choruses tighten and strip slightly, creating tension with minimal instrumentation and beat pauses before the last line, Choruses hit wide and powerful — assertive, defiant, not screamed, Bridge breaks down to percussion and voice, chant-like and percussive, before slamming back into the final chorus, Overall mood: sharp, resilient, unapologetic, Cyberpunk attitude with grunge soul — forged under pressure, glowing with edge and confidence

Lyrics
Verse 1
I’ve been misread more times than not
Called a problem, called a lot
Too intense, too real, too loud
Never meant to blend into crowds
They love a label, love a flaw
Love a reason to withdraw
Pre-Chorus 1
Everybody wants to
File the edges, sand me right
Make me easier to hold at night
(spoken)
Like that’s the point
Chorus
I’m an uncut gem, a ruby in the rough
Not broken or bent — I’ve been through enough
You can leave me raw, call me unrefined
I may be jagged, but I still shine
Verse 2
They want a story they can sell
A cleaner cut, a softer tell
Skip the parts that drew blood first
Frame the shine, forget the dirt
I just smile, sip my drink
Let them wonder what I think
Pre-Chorus 2
Everybody wants to
File the edges, sand me right
Make me easier to hold at night
(spoken)
Still missing the point
Chorus
I’m an uncut gem, a ruby in the rough
Not broken or bent — I’ve been through enough
You can leave me raw, call me unrefined
I may be jagged, but I still shine
Bridge / Breakdown
No more sanding
No more shame
Every fracture
Knows my name
I stayed uncut
I stayed mine
Jagged edges
Watch me shine
Final Chorus
I’m an uncut gem, a ruby in the rough
Not broken or bent — I’ve been through enough
You can leave me raw, call me unrefined
I may be jagged, but I still shine
