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.
geez... on all the songs i go to no one ever posts anything. this is one of cypress hills best songs, since all there new shit sucks, no offense to cypress hill listeners, but whatever.
The Rock Superstar version of this song is such an awesome Cypress Hill song, its one of those songs you turn up real loud and just kinda drive faster than u should with the windows down kinda songs.
the meaning of this song is easy to find it shows you life of a rock superstar but theres a small message its saying that once your a rock superstar you can go out and have people not give you respect or you can keep going until death than that shows you cant live your life
I think both versions are good. But I'd have to say that their album "Stoned Raiders" (which is pretty recent) was pretty damn good, so I don't think all of their new stuff sucks. Haven't heard anything off their newest album, though.
This is a song about "yeah...I've got millions and a huge house, 5 cars and a Bentley, but my life is really hard and you should feel for me". Whatever. Talk to someone who's worked in a factory for 40 years and is no further ahead than he was when he started and rap about that shit.
I find it to be about the things that are lost due to fame. The man who has only been in the factory for 40 years in some ways rich comparatively speaking. He has something that those who sought and obtained fame (in the way described) can never get back. The song is something like warning. The "life" is real, but there's so many lies, so many things you just may not expect. But I like to read the positive into things if I can see it, so what do I know.
