Afterburner Lyrics

I'm not down to keep up, to keep up trying to keep up.
One slip up
Get on a, get on again, get on a.
I'm so tired of taking, of taking it, of taking.
One slip up
Get on a, get on again, get on a.
I don't buy
I don't buy it
I say
So leave it alone

(To it) and for what?
I'll always ask, always
What's the point?
Of making when making's all we're making
Only hope
It's not late, it's not too late, it's not late
To keep it real
You ask me to keep it real, you ask me
I don't buy
I don't buy it
I say
So leave it alone

I don't buy, don't buy it

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.

I know these are incorrect, the official lyrics would be helpful and then I can fix them.
