Intro Lyrics

[Verse]
Wake up kids
It's half past the youth
Ain't nothing really changing but the date
You a grand slammer
But you're no Babe Ruth
You got to learn how to relate
Or you'll be swinging from the pearly gate
Now you got all the answers, lo and behold
You got the right key, baby
But the wrong key hole, yo

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 [?]
