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 [?]

Genius Annotation

On “Yayo”, Lana brings soulful, varied vocals against dreamy instrumentals that dip into an orchestral sound reminiscent of dark nights and city lights. In the lyrics, Lana tells of her passionate love affair with a notorious gangster, as he takes her far away from her trailer park life and into the glamor of a Las Vegas wedding.

The track is a remake of “Yayo”, from her earlier unreleased album Lana Del Ray, varying the original melody and adding a more complex instrumental background.
