Contest Brief

Here's a song my band is working on:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qKm72z0m39cvvTRQC0qrOl-Hw34nskrK

Your task is to write the lyrics for the second verse. Right now I'm singing the first verse twice.

Try to match the vocals part, but not 100% precisely - it's even interesting when the first and the second verses don't have identical form.

Here are the lyrics:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HAPTmninVhcV0xHgcHLpSsjsfjlGrvo67IDFkemh6J4/

The song is about respecting and defending boundaries. The first verse is about my ex-employer who tried to push me as a freelancer and pay me less by the hour than I asked for (here at freelancer by the way :)

So the first verse is about money, but the second verse doesn't have to be. You can describe any situation when someone's pushing it and you're telling them to back off. Instead of "you say I charge too much" in the second chorus you could say "you say I want too much" so it makes sense if your lyrics aren't about money. You'll have to replace "low on cash" with something appropriate, too. Or, you can stick to the money subject and develop in some other way - then you can keep the lyrics of the second chorus unchanged.

Eventually I'll post the final result on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/MichaelRybak

This contest is not a one time thing: I'm looking for long term partners, so it's your chance to show off your skills, get more orders from me in the future, and get your work featured in videos like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=h2SvcKL9riw

Looking forward to your work!

      Once the contest is over, I'd like to compliment you for your conduct as contest holder. Well, your own background (the contest description and the lyrics can tell us) explains that you are a freelancer yourself and have empathy and respect for workers, what you have also demonstrated here.
      May your behavior be an example for others!

    I have included some slangs and native words to make it or appealing. Also, the tone and theme of the song are unchanged. I rewrote the second part from scratch for better rhyming that will suit the rhythm and melody of the tune of the song. Any suggestions and corrections are very appreciated. I hope, you will like my work. I am looking to working with you for long terms.
