This is the best thing i didnt knew i needed, it not only makes the lyrics super pretty and adds the auto scroll thing that movile has, but it gets teh lyrics from sources diferent than what youtube music uses normaly, so it works even with songs whos lyrics dont show on youtube music, i just love this, this should be how youtube music lyrics look by default
