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

“The Sure Shot (Intro)” kicks off the album with a live performance. The short track heavily interpolates Gang Starr’s “DWYCK”, which featured Nice & Smooth.

The final line of the outro comes from the duo’s 2003 track “Skills”, more specifically from Guru’s chorus.
