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

Frank wrote “Wiseman” for Quentin Tarantino’s 2012 slavery western Django Unchained but Tarantino couldn’t find the right scene for it and so the song went unused. Frank shared the piece and lyrics via his Tumblr account.

The song was used in the 2015 film “Southpaw” as an emotional tear-jerker for the ending scene, however the song was never credited or included on the movie soundtrack.
