So tell me, sister 💯
Authentic African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) vocal delivery. Use a laid-back, conversational flow with rhythmic cadence. The mood should be confident and soulful. Lyrics & Vocals: The lyrics and vocal performance must reflect key features of AAVE grammar and pronunciation. For example: use of habitual "be" (e.g., "he be working"), zero copula (e.g., "she Ø real cool"), monophthongization (e.g., "ah" for "I"), and vocabulary like "finna," "cap," or "drip". The voice should be natural, not robotic. Instrumental: Smooth synth melody, deep 808 bass, crisp hi-hats, and a slow-burning groove around 100-110 BPM. Add subtle vocal samples or ad-libs.

Lyrics
Intro — spoken / half-sung
soft, close, night voice
You can cry, sister…
Go on…
I’m right here.
Section 1 — slow vocal, breath between lines
You worked so hard,
I know…
You did everything right,
I know…
You got a house,
yes you did…
And still you’re tired,
I know…
Mantra / Chorus — very soft, repeatable
You can cry, sister…
You can cry…
I know…
I know…
I got you…
I got you…
Section 2 — deeper tone, words appear slowly
You got a job,
still counting nights…
You got children,
still no rest…
Bills on the table,
dreams on hold…
Love walked out,
life stayed cold…
I know…
I know…
Mantra / Chorus — slight variation
You can cry now…
Leave it here…
I know…
I know…
I got you…
Section 3 — transition, lower voice, steadier
Listen, sister…
Hear me slow…
This is your road,
you’re still standing…
This is your weight,
and you carry it…
Tears are safe here,
only here…
Final Mantra — almost whispered
You can cry, sister…
Just a little more…
I know…
I know…
I got you…
Outro — unresolved, breath
So tell me, sister…
Tell me soft…
What is happiness…
really?
(music fades, no answer)
