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.
"No need to fix what God put a paint brush on"
This song, and all his lyrics, are just so awesome! Instead of using his rap skills to talk about drugs, and sluts and all the other crap, he uses it to talk about how beautiful you are and not to care about what other people are saying about you.
"Cause what's real is something that the eyes can't see
That the hands can’t touch
That them broads can’t be, and that’s you"
Reminds me what i told this girl.. She didn't need any make up or anything with her outward appearance. She was beautiful but she couldn't see it.. And that's you
In this song J. Cole is trying to teach his female friend how to love herself. He explains how she has a boyfriend that just brings her down even more by showing her what she's missing instead of what she has ("So all you see is what you lacking not what you're packing").He also talks about coming to love himself.
