Check Network Connection
If lyrics not showing on Apple Music, the first thing you need to do is to check the network connection. Make sure that your device has connected to a stable and powerful network. If you are on a bad network, you can go to the Settings app to change your WiFi.

Check for Content & Restriction
When your device has connected to a strong network and in the latest iOS version, you should check for the content restriction.
