not sure what's worst about that: it's existence in the first place, the fact that it was written after a mixtape that even pusha t stans admitted sucked, that the dude quotes a bunch of lines from said mixtape, or that "move caine like a cripple" didn't even crack the top 15

i don't wanna get all rtfm on you, but you can just <ctrl-c/copy line of text>, google: <ctrl-v> space "lyrics", and you'll get the artist and title probably as the first choice. i do this all the time, like if i hear some song i like on the radio and i don't know who it is, i just type a line or two i can pick out into my smartphone (any line will do) and later google those words, in order, plus "lyrics"

xpost R0NG! i mean, it probably works ok sometimes, but i find you're more likely to get it right the first time if you type "lyrics" at the beginning or end of the phrase. though i suppose you could highlight, right click, search google, then if it doesn't answer correctly, *then* type "lyrics" at the end of the line.
that said i suppose google might have improved it's algorithms to the point where you no longer need to type "lyrics" it justknows that's what you want <cue creepy twilight zone music>
