Black Dave

The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice

And if he's white you give him a chance

He's ill and confused

If he's black he's probably armed

You see him and shoot

Look, black is growin' up around the barbershop

Meaning

Dave flips "the blacker the berry" into a line about media bias. A Black killer makes the tragedy feel more clickable, while whiteness gets softened into excuses like illness or confusion.

Race media framing public sympathy
Scoring engine

Pen game, measured.

Two scores per track. A deterministic technical score for craft — rhyme schemes, vocabulary, flow — plus an AI score for lyrical depth.

The craft side is computed straight from the lyric sheet and weighted into one number — same track, same score, every time. Not vibes.

Technical score 87 / 100
  • Rhyme density 9.1

    Internal and end rhymes per line

  • Vocabulary richness 8.4

    Unique words across the track

  • Multisyllabic rhymes 7.8

    Rhyme spans with 3+ syllables

  • Flow variance 8.9

    Cadence changes across bars
