Secret Handshake Lyrics

Gotta sell some posse
Think its really something
Everyones invited
Aint nobody coming

As if nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen

Every conversation
Ends just like it started
Got a secret handshake
Use it way too often

As if nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen

Everybody's thinking
Everybody's searching
Everybody's circling around themselves
Its a competition
Everybody's better
We may not be winning
Get insp.? for effort

As if nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen

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.

Just a few minor errors:

"Gotta sell some posse" - is "Got ourselves a posse"

"Everybody's circling around themselves" - Is actually "Everybody’s certain of themselves"

and "Get insp.? for effort" is "Got A's for effort"
