Black Pearl Lyrics

Got a little problem she said
Shift of her hips she was out of my bed
Standing in the corner with her hands on her head
This world is too big of a place for me
Seeing things I don't wanna see
Tempted to be things I do not want to be
*And I cannot feel this world
I'm tired of this pain
Caught up in my anger
Drowning in this wave*
Once I was a little girl
Had no problems with this world
This world was an oyster I was its black pearl
But now I'm tall enough to see their eyes
I'm smart enough to fight their lies
You know I'm big enough
Don't need to worry about my size
And I'm fast enough
I don't need to run
I'm smart enough
I don't need their guns
You know I work too hard but
I still know how to have my fun

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.
