Mom Finds Her Young Daughter's Attempt At Rap Lyrics, And They're Certainly Something

Mom Finds Her Young Daughter's Attempt At Rap Lyrics, And They're Certainly Something
@EmilyFlake/Twitter

An eight-year-old girl revealed an interest in rapping by penning her first attempt at lyrics to hilarious effect.

Her mother Emily Flake is a standup comedian who also has been cartooning for The New Yorker since 2008.

But the burgeoning talent of her child may be her biggest accomplishment yet.


Flake shared a photo of her daughter's first masterpiece that starts with her pet hamster before taking many brilliant detours.

The result, unbeknownst to the young artist, is a worthy attempt at rap lyrics proving that comedy runs in this family.

In a tweet, Flake questioned her daughter's qualifications for the art form.

"My child has started writing raps and while I love her and applaud this development I wonder if she lacks the years of life experience the form demands."

According to the picture, the words read:

"I have a pet hamster nam'd fuffly"
"she's not that puffy"
"I youst to have a pet cat nam'd penny"
"I have a crush on sombody nam'd benny"
"I like to rap"
"I got watter from the tap'

Giphy


But people actually saw something deeper expressed in the innocuous lyrics.



People enjoyed breaking it down.





Should we be concerned about who "benny" is?





Don't underestimate this up-and-comer.



Props to this insightful young girl.


Sounds like she's got natural skillz.

Aim high, little one.

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”
