Description
The Genius service for song lyrics doesn't censor the content, which seems like a thing we care about elsewhere in NetsBlox. I suppose there's artistic considerations in this case, so it's really more of a question of whether we want to do it here or not. I lean toward yes.
The biggest and easiest change would be to pass the fetched lyrics through the same censoring lib we use elsewhere. Although less important, we should also censor song titles and artist names. Searching should still work un-censored, though - we really just want to avoid clean input giving profane output.

Research direction
Start at the Genius service entry point and find the existing censoring library used elsewhere in NetsBlox. Confirm how lyric searches preserve uncensored input while fetched lyrics, song titles, and artist names are presented. Done means the desired censoring policy is decided and the service output is consistently censored without changing search behavior.
