Usual Dosage Lyrics

white sugar always talk it up
white sugar always chalk it up
white sugar always joke around
white sugar just boast your luck.
wouldn't say it's evil but i wouldn't try it either,
i wouldn't save it for later but i wouldn't buy it either,
it's how you pay for it how will you pay for it
how to bring it home and how to take it...
so usual, so usual, so usual, so usual
and now you fucked it up
your life a pretty misery,
bank it around unlucky secrets
vacant statues you're not o.k.

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.

Seems to be about cocaine habits or something.
