In The City Lyrics

it was a night to remember
charlie parker knew just what to play
to make it all come my way
clench my fist with one hand
shake you hand with the other
it'll take time
it'll take time

oh what will i do
i'm my only crew
standing on my two feet
i'm waiting for my sweet

some days
i feel like going out and falling
headfirst into the place where we

yeah

some days
i feel like it'll never stop
raining
just enough for me to move
just enough for me to move

yeah

oh what will i do
i'm my only crew
standing on my two feet
i'm waiting for my sweet

and they'll be saying now you're in the city
you are sittin' pretty
and you'll be saying
now you're in the city
now you're in the city
and they'll be saying now you're in the city
you are sittin' pretty
and i'll be saying
now we're in the city
now we're in the city
now

oh what will i do
i'm my only crew
standing on my two feet
i'm waiting for my sweet

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.
