Songwriter Pro Tip
Avoid the cliché 'winner/sinner' pairing by rhyming winner with unexpected words like 'inner' or 'beginner'—then flip the meaning. Instead of 'I'm a winner,' try 'started as a beginner, now the hunger within her sees a winner.' This gives depth and complexity to what could be a one-dimensional flex.
