Dub Poetry Reggae (motivation)
Bracket tags are what Suno reads — fill the parentheses with your own words.
[Intro] (A spoken-word performance tradition fusing dub reggae's musical backdrop with politically charged, rhythmic poetry, pioneered by Linton Kwesi Johnson and Mutabaruka. Set the motivation — Rising against self-doubt and outside noise — the internal decision to keep moving no matter the odds.) [Verse 1] (4–8 lines. Rising against self-doubt and outside noise — the internal decision to keep moving no matter the odds.) [Pre-Chorus] (2–4 lines that lift into the hook.) [Chorus] (They counted me out so I wrote my own number on the scoreboard — keep it singable.) [Verse 2] (Develop the story; raise the stakes.) [Bridge] (A turn — new angle or the emotional peak.) [Outro] (Resolve. male lead ad-libs optional.)
Section-by-section guidance
- [Intro]: A spoken-word performance tradition fusing dub reggae's musical backdrop with politically charged, rhythmic poetry, pioneered by Linton Kwesi Johnson and Mutabaruka.
- [Verse]: Rising against self-doubt and outside noise — the internal decision to keep moving no matter the odds; match the male lead delivery.
- [Chorus]: They counted me out so I wrote my own number on the scoreboard — this is what listeners remember.
- [Bridge]: change the angle so the last chorus hits harder.
Style field vs lyrics field
Put the SOUND in Suno's Style field — "spoken word, political, dub backdrop, poetic delivery, protest art, bass-heavy, 65-85 BPM, male lead" — and put only the bracket-tagged WORDS in the Lyrics field. Mixing style words into the lyrics box is the #1 reason Suno "sings the instructions."
Why Suno breaks your lyrics — and the fix
- Suno rewrites your words → your structure is ambiguous. Use clear [Verse]/[Chorus] tags and short lines.
- Weak chorus → the hook isn't distinct. Make the [Chorus] lines repeat and contrast the verse.
- Wrong vocalist → state "male lead" in the Style field, not the lyrics.
- Song too short → add more tagged sections; Suno length tracks structure.
- Messy output → remove parentheticals you don't want sung; keep cues minimal.
