All lyrics are reviewed and listened through in full by our moderators before appearing on the site.
When showing the lyric, don't forget to mention where it's from, like providing a link to the site, the artist page, or the lyric itself. Thanks!
Don't worry about caching covers server-side, you can hotlink to our thumbnails.
