Sweat in Bullet Lyrics

Airmobility
Dressability
Tranquil
You'll never meet again
Eyes small
Take another fine walk
Expose
Society can gain
Great face
White soul
Great place
Then say goodbye
You take a walk
Another fine walk
Mission
Motion

Rolling and tumbling
Ambition in motion
Rolling and tumbling
She's sweating bullets
Grow in size
Grow in fame
Grow more
Take more
Uncontrollable
Unworkable

Airmobility
Dressability
C'est la vie
Inside
Your doing things
Making face
Making moves
You'll never do again
Great face
White soul
Great shame
Poison in your hand
Take a walk
Take another fine walk
Mission
Motion

Rolling and tumbling

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.

An AI website once said:- Sweat In Bullet presents a cautionary tale about the risks and tolls of relentless ambition, highlighting the potential loss of one's identity ("great face, white soul") and the potential for self-destruction. It encourages the audience to reflect on the balance between ambition and personal well-being, reminding us that success should never come at the expense of our mental and emotional health.
