Google says they also license: https://blog.google/products/search/how-we-help-you-find-lyrics-google-search/ https://blog.google/products/search/how-we-help-yo

  True, though that blog post also says "We do not crawl or scrape websites to source these lyrics.", which was definitely not true (though may be now).

    I think it was true then. I believe their claim was usage via third party?

    Google licenses the lyrics through a third party, LyricFind, which in turn hired people to transcribe them. In a small percentage of cases, those transcribers did not do their own work and instead copied lyrics from Genius.
