Talent Lyrics

I met this real cool dude today
Looking like Jack Palance
He said I wanna get through to you
And help you find your talent
He said that if I had a certain style
Then stuff would start to happen
He said that soon he was going away
'Cause he's a major talent

Talent - fighting on the Eastside
Talent - taking on the Westside
Talent - fucking up the Northside
He's a major talent

Talent - fighting on the Eastside
Talent - taking on the Westside
Talent - fucking up the Northside
He's a major talent
(I don't know)

I said that he was getting through to me
And I would take his challenge
And maybe soon I'd be going away
'Cause I had certain talents

Talent - fighting on the Eastside
Talent - taking on the Westside
Talent - fucking up the Northside
I'm a major talent

Talent - fighting on the Eastside
Talent - taking on the Westside
Talent - fucking up the Northside

I met this dude today
Down in the sewers of Paris
Was hiding from the sun
What a waste of talent

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.
