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

Outkast’s last album, Idlewild, and their career as a whole, ends on “A Bad Note”. With nearly 8-and-a-half minutes of distorted guitars and piano playing in the background (among other things), this song is a bit of an experimentation compared to other songs on Idlewild.
