Describe the bug
Lyrics are often returned with data that are definitely not intended to be, or at least expected to be returned.
This unwanted data usually includes:

X contributors (X is the number of contributors on the Genius page)
[song] Lyrics
See [artist] LiveGet tickets as low as $
,[song]Embed

Expected behavior
The lyrics and only the lyrics would be returned without any extra useless data

To Reproduce

use the library to grab the lyrics from Genius
Return or print the lyrics

I was able to get this to repeatedly happen with almost all songs I've tried, but for the testing of my own application I've been using 3 songs: A Grave Mistake by Ice Nine Kills, Porcelain by Motionless in White, and Not Afraid by Eminem.

There is no error message because there is no error, just a fault in how the library is grabbing the lyrics.

Version info

Package version: 3.0.1
OS: Windows 11

Additional context
I saw this problem was reported in issue 254 but since its several months old at this point, I didn't want to necro it. I'll try using the "solution" provided in that thread, but since this issue is seemingly unintended I wanted to make it known that its still happening.

(Also, I'm fairly inexperienced at using GitHub as a whole, so if this has been solved in separate forks I apologize)
