New song; Confidence?

Started writing new song. Going for a very bluesy/latin-pop vibe. Im having a very fun time about the lyrics. This song is semi about me but to a huge exaggeration. I've found that a song not about yourself is much easier. I don't over think every lyric, and not every line has to be perfect for me due to emotional value. Autumn was easier for me to write because it was unattached to me. This song is about me, but much more parodied and humorous.
The song started with 4 simple chords A, D, F, E. I played around with barred and normal versions of the chords, eventually also adding a 7 to the chord. I was going to have a different verse and chorus chord progression, but I found it wasn't needed. Making the chorus chords all barred and slightly different (A, D7, F7, E7) created a distinctively different sound then the verse chords which are all kept down the the 1st/ 2nd fret and aren't with a 7.
I also play the verse with palm muted, and syncopated strum patter. The chorus is a bigger open strum.
Confidence?
Chorus A, D7, F7, E7 (All Barred)
Verse
Hello from the little devil on your left shoulder,
im afraid we have to talk
Im sorry if my tones a little colder,
but that's what you need to hear if you want to be what your not
If you wanna stop getting freindzoned, owend, and not get boned. Than we gotta start
We need to change the way you dress, talk, and walk, we need to almost change every single part
Im sorry its oh so true, so lets start with the introduction (Or let me start the introduction for you)
Chorus
You need to get more confident, because its quite evident that your not yet
You need to stop being so nice, think about yourself and don't think twice
Verse
You're still doing the nice guy thing,
when you really need to get more tough
You're on your way to becoming a king
You're learning very quick, but not learning quick enough
You need to stop being the shoulder they cry on, but be the one who breaks their hearts
You need to be the that well dressed, chilled out, godly whirlwind that tears their world apart
You need to class up, get smart, grow a pairs balls
Make drop dead when you're walking down the damn halls
Most of all think back to what i told you
Chorus
Line i want to use somewhere
(Hello,again from your bud beelzebub)
The song isn't complete yet. Still debating
to add more to the chorus. I also don't know if I want a bridge vs a 3rd verse.
This is the run through audio ----->
