Here's a script for [rapgenius.com](http://rapgenius.com).

The script extracts only lyrics from the Rap Genius active "lyrical definining" engine. There will be no explinations to the lyrics. I believe this is what your looking for as rap genius isen't really a lyrical database. They define it at as,

"Rap Genius is your guide to the meaning of rap lyrics (basically the internet version of the nerd-ass “rap dictionary” dorm-mate you had in college).  
You can listen to songs, read their lyrics, and click the lines that interest you for pop-up explanations – we have thousands of canonical rap songs explained (2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z – even the beginning of the Torah..)  
Our aim is not to translate rap into “nerdspeak”, but rather to critique rap as poetry.

I don't listen to much rap but this site is really something special for those die hard hip-hop enthusiats....
