The Beggar Lyrics

What's with these lights?
Is this an interrogation?
What's with these lights?
Third degree in the masses eyes
What's with these lights?
Is this an interrogation?
What's with these lights?
I've got nothing at all to say
Beggar with a soapbox
Kinesiatic with pride
Beggar with a soapbox
But I've got nothing to say
Build a bigger soapbox
The nothing just gets louder
This is just another instance of strategically placed stagnation
Move along
Nothing to see here
This is just strategic stagnation
All our stomachs growl for the same thing
Just another fix to us inside
Eat, sleep, lather, rinse, repeat
None of those things are good enough for me

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.
