The ability to make changes to lyrics depends largely on your IQ and your role as a Genius user.

IQ Milestones:

• 100 IQ: You can add a song & start a thread
• 150 IQ: You’ll be able to post in the forums.
• 300 IQ: You can edit unlocked metadata & your upvotes will be counted as double (+4 instead of +2).
• 600 IQ: You’ll be able to annotate on locked songs.
• 3,000 IQ: Edit a lyric with more than 5,000 page views

If a song’s lyrics are locked, only editors, moderators, and administrators can edit them. In this type of event, contributors can make lyric suggestions, but they must be approved by an editor, moderator, or administrator.

Genius started as a platform for annotating clever rap lyrics—our original name was Rap Genius. Over the years, we’ve expanded our mission to include more than hip-hop, and more than just lyrics. Every song has a story that needs to be told, and the biggest names in music—including Kendrick Lamar, Ariana Grande, and Lin-Manuel Miranda—come to Genius to give the world insight into their art.
