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 [?]

What did Jeru the Damaja say about "Intro (Life)"?
Genius Answer

The intro is from one of my favourite movies ever – a cartoon, anime joint called Fist of the North Star, right? That’s the intro to Fist of the North Star… Then we just dropped the beat on top of it.
