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

“Born and Raised” is the title track of Mayer’s 2012 album. Through this song Mayer shares realization that he no longer has a lifetime of dreams and goals to look forward to – he is already an adult who has a passed a good chunk of his life. Not only that, but he realizes he has reached this point largely on his own, which has sapped the joy out of the journey.
