BBC Lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

How did the track come about?
Genius Answer

That “BBC” song happened in the night, it wasn’t planned, it’s great how life works. It was Pharrell’s 10th anniversary of BBC, we went to the dinner… We left from the dinner, went to the studio, we got Nigo, Pharrell, me, Bey, Justin was next door doing his thing, Justin walks in, Tim was meeting Nas, so Nas walks in, I’m like ‘Yo, what you doin’ here?‘. He comes in the room, so now we got 7 people and we around this console… And I say 'If we don’t make a record tonight, shame on us!’. And you can just hear the fun, and the session was just this party you know.
