I. Crawl 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 [?]

About

Genius Annotation

The true beginning of the story.

This is fifteen years after the prelude (The Library). The Boy and his friend Fam go and pick up their friends Swank, Steve, Marcus (Chance the Rapper), and AJ (Stefan). They proceed to head to Dockweiler to surf and smoke blunts. There, they meet a girl named Sasha and invite her to a party they’re having at a mansion later that night.

The titular “crawl” may refer to the opening crawl of a screenplay, such as the unproduced one that was written as a companion piece to the album. The most famous opening crawls are in the Star Wars franchise, which is referenced later in the song “Pink Toes”.
