Royalty free lyrics

On the lookout for public domain blues songs I bumped into a nice niche site listing some of the free early 20th century blues artists whose work is copyright free, at least in the US. Check out pdmusic.org if you're in need of some free song lyrics with a bluesy edge.

If you're specifically after HipHop lyrics this site is probably a good starting point, listing 'the best rap battle hip hop lyrics available at the internet'.
