The Format Lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

The title track from AZ’s 7th LP, produced by DJ Premier.

AZ’s boastful mannerism throughout the song is supported by his immense flow, rhyme and lyricism. He does not shy away from proclaiming his talent, as there’s plenty of it to go around.
