Mr. Insignificant Lyrics

Take it up take it down take it now from side to side
He's hung up he's hung down he's taking both you and me for a ride
Banks and lawyers are on my tail
They want to run me out of town on a rail because of Mr. Insignificant
Gave him cash I gave my life
I gave my house my land
I offered him my wife
He smooth walked he smooth talked
When I mentioned risk he didn't even baulk
He's never in when I give him a call
I know my world is getting due for a fall because of Mr. Insignificant
Hear me praying hear me praying what's he saying buy and sell
A simple guy who'd rather die than live a life not doing well
I give up I give down I been left with nothing on the ground
Been had been done good been picked clean by the worst kind of hood
I hope I get to have my say
When I get there on the judgement day with Mr. Insignificant

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.
