Lyrics to a jazzish hip-hop song I've been kicking around for a while.

I actually wrote them with a guitar-based beat in mind. It's basically this riff repeating:
(Numbers in parentheses are beats. For example, (1) = quarter note)
|: Dm (1.5) Dm (.5) Dm (2) | F (1.5) C (.5) Dm (2)
C (1.5) C (.5) C (2) | F (1.5) C (.5) Dm (2)
G (1.5) G (.5) G (2) | F (1.5) C (.5) Dm (2)
Bb (1.5) Bb (.5) Bb (2) | Bbsus2 (2) C (2) :|
Basically that, with variations in syncopation, rhythm, and jazzy improvisations throughout. And during the first half of the chorus ("Afraid to go"..."American nightmare"):
Dm (Triplet) Dm (Triplet)| F (1.5) C (.5) Dm (2)
(Repeat for C, G, Bb)
Then back to the more relaxed rhythm.
