No Requests Lyrics

[Verse]
Uh-uh girl, hold up
This is not my thing
This music is tired
I'm sorry, he gon' have to play something else
Let me go talk to the DJ
Or I'm out of here

[Chorus]
Excuse me, Mr. DJ
Could you play something with a beat?
You know, something I can dance to?
You know, something like
You know, something like
Something with a beat?
You know, something I can dance to?
You know, something like
Something with a beat?
You know, something I can dance to?

[Drop]
Dance to? (x13)

You know, something like
You know, something I can dance to?

[Verse]
Uh-uh girl, hold up
This is not my thing
This music is tired
I'm sorry, he gon' have to play something else
Let me go talk to the DJ
Or I'm out of here

[Chorus]
Excuse me, Mr. DJ
Could you play something with a beat?
Excuse me, Mr. DJ
Could you play something with a beat?

You know, something with a beat?
You know, something with a beat?
You know, something with a beat?
You know, something I can dance to?
Something I can dance to?
Something I can dance to?
Something I can dance to?
Something I can dance to?

[Drop]
Dance to? (x14)

You know, something like
You know, something like
You know, something I can dance to?
You know, something like

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.
