The Ballad of Raphael the Raven Lyrics

oh, yeah. I'm fucking useless.
little black fat fuck, that's what I am.
in recent news, I want to die.
little black fat fuck.

I'm a raven with no wings, always just a cameo.
the jungle, the moon, anywhere.

might as well run around in circles
always just miyamoto's little joke

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 song is about Raphael the Raven, a character from the Nintendo universe (prodominantly the Mario Universe), Raphael makes several cameos throughout several different games. Example:(Raphael Raven appeared only as a sticker in the game Super Smash Bros Brawl), he is seldom a character of importance. In Super Mario world 2: Yoshi's Island, you battle Raphael Raven on the moon. Raphael Raven basically runs around the moon in circles ground pounding, sending shockwaves in an attempt to knock baby mario off of yoshi. Sounds to me like Raphael Raven is self loathing.
