Synopsis

[Intro]
Ah, I might, Ah, I might
I think you should trust in me
Ah, I might (doin' just fine), Ah, I might
I think you should trust in me

[Verse 1]
Let winter know I'm the cold one, was sleeping then
But now I have awoken, kiss chase in school
I was never chosen
Now I get girls that are better than my old ones
And better than your new ones

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell a hater "do one"
I am such a nuisance
MOBOS with a swanky suit and some sparkly Louboutin
Wardrobe full of different fabrics, I don't know what to choose from
My mind's all over the place, I cannot choose one

[Chorus]
Kids doin' just great
I'm doin' just great now
Things ain't ever what they make out
That's why I gotta stay out
Man ah grind 'til I gotta skate out
All the games that they play I play
We don't share the same traits
So I'm doin' just fine

[Post-Chorus]
I'm doin' just fine
Doin' just great
I'm doin' just fine
(I think you should trust in me)
We don't share the same traits
So I'm doin' just fine

[Verse 2]
Hate on me on a sly that's fine 'cause I don't care
Chattin' off behind my back that's facts 'cause I've got burnin' ears
My glow up is a haters hell on Earth I hope they burnin' well
They stay on watch me shine
Doin' that Big Ben 'cause it's my time

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell a hater "do one"
I am such a nuisance
MOBOS with a swanky suit and some sparkly new Louboutin
Wardrobe full of different fabrics, I don't know what to choose from
My mind's all over the place, I cannot choose one

[Chorus]
Kids doin' just great
I'm doin' just great now
Things ain't ever what they make out
That's why I gotta stay out
Man ah grind 'til I gotta skate out
All the games that they play I play
We don't share the same traits
So I'm doin' just fine

Kid's doin' just great
I'm doin' just great now
Things ain't ever what they make out
That's why I gotta stay out
Man ah grind 'til I gotta skate out
All the games that they play I play
We don't share the same traits
So I'm doin' just fine

[Post-Chorus]
I'm doin' just fine
Doin' just great
I'm doin' just fine
(I think you should trust in me)
We don't share the same traits
So I'm doin' just fine

[Outro]
Doin' just fine
Doin' just fine
So I'm doin' just fine
(Ah, I might, I think you should trust in me)
Fraser T. on the chords
Remedy on this beat, ah yeah
Doin' just fine
(Ah, I might, I think you should trust in me)


MUSIC VIDEO SYNOPSIS

The narrative of my video will be following a character with a passion for his business, which he has built with his friend. His friend comes from a wealthy background (as opposed to the main character who comes from a working-class background) and funds everything and as the project is about to launch he fires the main character for "not looking the part". The main character will be wearing casual clothing to contrast to the smart business wear of the friend. As he walks out, somebody else is walking in (a rich looking character wearing smart, business clothing) to replace him. He goes on start brainstorming and working hard to start again from the bottom and become successful without the help of his former friend. On the journey of building his own empire, he meets a woman who is as driven as he is and they help each other, as equal partners to grow and become a successful duo. Throughout the song, showing his struggle to success and he then is more successful than the friend at the beginning. This narrative fits well with the song as the narrative of the song is that the singer did better than others expected of him.

In terms of visuals, I will use a steady cam and tripod to keep the footage smooth. The video is smooth and continuous, which is shown through the lack of handheld shots which are messier. I want the video to look professional so it will have a series of establishing shots in order to set the scene. Close-ups will be used in order to pay attention to little details that will be key to the narrative. The bulk of the video will be made up of mid-shots and also a few long shots. The mid shots are used mainly so that the audience is able to pay attention to the subject of the shot, however, the setting around them will be shown. The setting in the video will reflect the main character's journey, (eg. starts in a small dirty bedroom and as the video goes on he upgrades to a nicer, larger bedroom. The video will make sure that the video has a clear narrative that is easy to follow and also flows seamlessly.

The video is comprises of these main parts:

• The main character and his best friend are about to start a business venture together.
• The friend fires the main as he "doesn't look the part"
• The friend starts to work hard from scratch in order to build another business
• The business takes off and he is now rivalling his former friend's company.
• He builds his own empire and becomes successful, even without the financial help of a wealthy background.

This follows Todorov's narrative theory.

The video takes some conventions of rap music videos however it also subverts. The video shows off luxury cars and locations like most rap videos do. The convention that is subverted is the use of women in the video. The female character in the video is represented as a businesswoman and an equal to the man. This contrasts from the stereotypical idea of women being seen as items, especially in a western patriarchal society (Van Zoonen).
