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.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
