Which music player do you use on android?
I use
Metro (link goes to f-droid) which does something with lyrics. I don't use that feature so I'm not sure if it searches for them or just displays them if they're embedded in the file.
Good player though, doesn't look like it escaped from the noughties. Local files only, no streaming.

I self-host my music with Navidrome, play it with Tempus on Android.

Just VLC. I don't stream music and most of the stuff I listen to have no lyrics so it works fine as-is

You might be interested in
Rush, which detects music from your "now playing" and displays the lyrics beautifully. Then you can use whatever local player you like for your library and have great lyrics experience regardless.
If you end up setting up a home server with navidrome or similar,
Chora has the best lyrics search and display. The website also mentions local playback, so it may meet your need, although I've never used it that way.
It's been a while since I've used a local player, but the best ones I've found were Oto Music (closed source), which has very good lyrics search and support, and
Booming Music.
PixelPlayer also looks like a promising new option.
