This problem happens in the extension [Popup Lyrics](https://github.com/spicetify/spicetify-cli/wiki/Extensions#pop-up-lyrics) and custom app [Lyrics Plus](https://github.com/spicetify/spicetify-cli/wiki/Custom-Apps#lyrics-plus) mostly because your MusicXMatch token has been flagged for doing too many requests. This can be fixed by just waiting without skipping songs too much, however, if it is still a problem for you, all you need to do is to install the Musixmatch official app, which is also web based app as Spotify.
