This is unfortunately very much against ToS and illegal. For anyone that doesn't wanna go through the hassle of all of this and wants to stay within legal limits, there very much are free API alternatives that don't even require API keys. One such API is lrclib.net which I've found has even more lyrics than Spotify although some of them are a bit wrong since I believe it to be crowdsourced.
Again, this project is cool, I just wanted to spread awareness of legal alternatives which I myself didn't know until a few months back.
