@camandthegenes: Nas let this object tell its side of the story. 🎤 On “I Gave You Power,” Nas writes from a gun’s perspective, giving it thoughts, feelings, and cravings of its own. This technique is called prosopopoeia: giving a voice to something that can’t speak. It takes personification further by making the object the narrator. A songwriting lesson in how perspective can change an entire story. Want to sharpen your songwriting with other artists?
