La'hov Lyrics

Thought about who you are / Your dad is all right / But you folded up to weather / You bet he's all right / Get off your ass before you go / You never look up / Should I try to undo the words that I just said? (Your father said you never looked that alive) / Replace them with your words instead, with your words instead (Nobody says you ever looked that alive) / Should I try to unmake the moves that I just made? / Replace them with your moves instead / With their sentiment

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.

Yea, I just got hooked. I saw them 2 days ago and they totally brought back the dance. Kori stage dived for the first time in her life. Everyone was having fun. It was awesome.
