Genius by Rap Genius — Search and understand the meaning of song lyrics, poetry, literature, and news

Genius, the official Rap Genius app for iOS, gives you instant access to annotated lyrics for millions of songs.

Features:

LYRICAL BREAKDOWNS AND EXPLANATIONS

Have you ever been confused by a song’s lyrics? Or wondered what your favorite artist meant by a line? Now you'll never have to worry about this (or anything) ever again! Genius breaks down lyrics with line-by-line annotations, many contributed by the artists themselves.

Annotations:
· Explain cryptic lines
· Reveal references and inside jokes
· Define unusual terms
· Break down technical aspects of songs
· Give context—how does a song fit in with the artist’s other work? With the genre as a whole?

FIND LYRICS FOR ANY SONG THAT’S PLAYING AROUND YOU

Just hold your phone up to the music, activate our Genius Recognition Technology™, and lo, the annotated lyrics appear!
