Thanks to technology, nowadays, getting lyrics to your favorite songs is easy peasy. Music streaming apps simply fetch the lyrics for you. Youngins of nowadays won't understand the struggle back in the days, or should I say they're lucky?😊

Every music lover like me back in the days used to buy lyrics books. This was the era when HINTS magazine was in vogue. My love for good music is huge, I guess that's why I'm now a songs transcriber on genius.com
They been de write rubbish that he year

The books shown here are even new skool books.
The very first sets of the lyrics books were published by Ayo Animashaun of Hip-hop world.
Those ones were hand written with pen.
Popular songs in the books were Boyz 2 men-End of the road.
Snow-Informer. And so on.

This got me thinking about Bone Thugs and Harmony. Are they still together?
Re-united and still Harmonized.
My Best Rap Group Ever.
Talking of this lyric books,be like some of those people get their lyrics from under bridge,na when I go buy one for 2pac's "Hail Mary" I cum see some parts of the lyrics written in broken english and Igbo.
I got really angry because I felt some of my previous ones most times weren't adding up.
But this time I got so pissed and angry with the whole misup writing that I took all the lyrics books in the house and burnt them outside including the one my elder sis kept on her bed that she was still using for WestLife's.
When she find out say I don burn her book join we fight taya coz she no won gree say the books were rubbish even after I told her they were making us sing nonsense...it was funny though.
