I tried to break down the making of American Requiem because I think this is one of the clearest examples of her method of creating songs by combining various elements such as lyrics from demos, instrumentals, samples, etc. We can see that just by listening to the song.
In American Requiem, I believe the lyrics come from 4 different pieces made by different people, including herself.
There's also a interpolation of this song in the lyrics and the instrumental:

!https://youtu.be/uzWb0oVp2J8?si=MvmmZ6DoXSFt-gYKBack to the lyrics, I think these are the four parts:
1. The intro and outro I believe came from Camaron Ochs and Tyler Johnson, who are Nashville songwriters. Especially because this part is reprised on Amen and they are also credited there.
2. We know the "it's a lot talk going on..." part was written by Jon Batiste. I wonder if the "For What It's Worth" interpolation already existed here in the instrumental made by No ID and the lyrics made by Jon Batiste, or if it was added later during the making of the album.
https://twitter.com/JonBatiste/status/17741194272287625343. The "can we stand for something..." portion, I thought it was originally part of this verse written by Jon Batiste. But now I think it's from a different origin. I just don't know who wrote it? Maybe Atia Boggs, Dixson or Beyoncé herself? But yeah, I think it's a different portion from the "look there" lyrics and that she mixed both together.
4. And finally, the "grandbaby of a moonshine man" verse came from Beyoncé. Probably made during the recording of the song in the studio.
So basically, something like this:

Found another musician that worked on Cowboy Carter talking about his experience. Jack Siegel.
news.miami.edu/frost/stories/2024/04/jack-siegel-beyonce.html
Basically, he was contacted by Khirye Tyler in like 2020 or 2021 and asked to compose some pieces or give some ideas. He added some stuff in Jolene (during the bridge), the guitar during the Shaboozey section in Spaghetti and composed Alligator Tears (except lyrics and percussion).
His instrumental in Alligator Tears is one of the my favorite parts of the album.
