The Name In All Caps Lyrics

When my synapses snap
the rap world collapses
It looks like demolition photos
done in time lapses
The name in all caps is
MCPB
You'll never see me fronting
like I'm e.e. cummings
k.d. lang and art spiegelman
think they can hang as equals man
bell hooks confuses capitalization
with capitalist patriarchy
Me and the caps lock key
know that to be malarky
I just can't seem to keep my panties on
since entering the pantheon
broadcast across the hemisphere
like Denis Lear-
y as pee hits your knee from the urinal
so flows internal kernels to my journal

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

the malarkey resides in the artists delusion of reality...
