      She wasn’t though. Re read it. She didn’t explain everything, but it wasn’t random fornthe most part. I wish she did explain everything but NOBODY on here that explains their shit does. The editors probably cut it out
      Some parts really don’t match though. I had to rewind so many timess

    • @princylady1
      @princylady1 5 лет назад +24

      It’s kinda confusing. Like in the video when she’s singing, she’s still mumbling audible words but for some reason she decided to make some different ones up and put those in the Genius lyrics ig

    • @powerpuff4ever
      @powerpuff4ever 5 лет назад +58

      princylady1 so she explained it and the video explained it. There _were no lyrics_ . She played the track and started mumbling along to the beat to find something that stuck, then she recorded that. She added facts about herself and random thoughts and flipped them to put as subtitles in the music video and that’s what genius has as lyrics. She’s mumbling actual words along with the time of the song but they’re not supposed to make coherent lines. The explanations are basically just what the subtitles say when they’re not backwards

    To anyone asking why this and nothing from Whack World here’s a couple suggestions as to why: 1. Mumbo Jumbo is Grammy Nominated so they may want to push that 2. Every song on Whack World is literally 1 minute long, I don’t know how much of a lyric breakdown you can really get out of that
