If I'm honest, 2017 was a dumpster fire. Natural disasters, political scandals, horrible government policies, the list goes on.
However, one area that did not disappoint was music. So many artists dropped albums. Lorde, Jay-Z, Kendrick, Drake, SZA, Lana, Taylor Swift, and Kesha all put out new music. With new music comes new lyrics. Lyrics are good for just about everything; Instagram captions, cryptic tweets, quotes you can claim you came up it.
Since we all need some cheering up from this year's insanity, here are the best lyrics from 2017.
