[Verse1]
Here’s something to look at, something for you to see
Nothing abstract, keep it physical and concrete
They say, simplicity is the way
That the song will ever get heard or even played
So now I’ve grabbed your attention
Listener retention

[Chorus]
I’ll go rhythm and the song will go hard
If you’re playing by the rules, then you’re playing your part
And goin’ with em will take the song far
Listener retention after just a few bars
So now to go out and get em
I’ll go rhythm

[Verse2]
Here’s a second look, let’s keep it by the book
Only way to reel em in, you must first set the hook
They say the way to keep the listener engaged
Keep it conversational without relyin' too hard on Wordplay
So now we’ve kept your attention
Listener retention

[Chorus]
I’ll go rhythm and the song will go hard
If you’re playing by the rules, then you’re playing your part
And goin’ with em will take the song far
Listener retention after just a few bars
So now to go out and get em
I’ll go rhythm

[Bridge]
If the numbers start to fall, we’ll add a pause or some more southern drawl
If the hook don’t real em in, we’ll just scrap the whole damn thing and just write it all again

[Chorus Outro]
I’ll go rhythm and the song will go hard
If you’re playing by the rules, then you’re playing your part
And goin’ with em will take the song far
Listener retention after just a few bars
So now to go out and get em
I’ll go rhythm
