OTL 69: Gangsta Boo Excerpt #1 “Paying Homage” Lyrics

Gangsta Boo: It's weird, it's like everybody dark now, everybody mystic, everybody rapping in triplets. It's cool, but you know, we did it first. Pretty much facts are just facts, no getting around facts

SameOldShawn: When you were making it, did you know like "Hey this is something different, this is something not everyone's doing"?

Gangsta Boo: Yeah, I knew that, but as far as what DJ Paul and Juicy J were thinking in their heads as producers, I have no idea. I know that they knew it was different, but I don't think they knew we were so before our time that people would be sounding like we sounded those many years ago

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 [?]
