Talk:Stevie Wonder vs Wonder Woman/@comment-173.31.252.38-20161126015829/@comment-173.31.252.38-20161126021103

I agree that it's part of the rhyme scheme, but the word is actually "see",even though she pronounced it as "say". "I tell you what I say" doesn't even make sense when she is describing Stevie to himself (because he is blind).

Secondly, what she did is called the "Allowable Rhyme" or simply she bent the word. Many artists do this in their work, especially and notably in the rapping field. A lot of rappers do this, Kanye, Nikki Minaj, Future, Lil Wayne, Method Man. Eminem even has a 60 minute interview titled, "Bending Words", and he goes into depth on that topic. HP Lovecraft even wrote a famous essay on the discussion of this called "The Allowable Rhyme".

So, it's still part of the rhyme scheme. I'm not in disagreement with you there. But the actual lyric is "see", even though she tweeks the pronounciation to "say".
