Hey there, MLK community! I'm new around here and to MLK charting in general, but have been playing Ponytone for a while. Thought I'd try my hand at one of my favorite 4EFB songs that it seems hasn't been charted yet for one reason or another. Did this all in one sitting with no real experience beforehand, so... hopefully it came out well! If you all have any suggestions for how I can improve, please let me know!

I'm a little worried about precise timings, as I don't really have the most precise musical ear. Pitches should be accurate to the best of my ability, but I kinda guesstimated with note durations and pickups of lines.

One problem I've already noticed is that the line "And I said no" in verse 2 doesn't actually come up as a singable line. It appears in USD like it's going to be the next line, but it isn't brought up into the song area, and the game just skips over to the next line. Not really sure what's up with that, as I don't think I have any overlapping notes in that section or anything...

Update: Fixed the "And I said no" line (turns out the line break was set to 1990, a full 80 beats after the line even starts!), adjusted timings on a few notes (mostly focused on removing -s and -t endings for words, since they shouldn't be scored).
