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 [?]

Genius Annotation

“Dis Yourself in ‘89” is a remixed instrumental version of “Hey Ladies”, the lead single of Paul’s Boutique. It is one of many songs crafted after the completion of Paul’s Boutique when Capitol Records asked the group to organize the creation of remixes and b-sides. But instead of bringing in outside producers and remixers, they chose to create the material themselves, incorporating samples they’d wanted to use but did not make it onto the album.
