Birthday rap lyrics for a best friend

Another year older, but you're still the same, late to the party but you're still the name.

We've been friends so long that our jokes need a map, happy birthday, legend, now go take a nap.

You're the one I call when the plan falls through, the cake's got candles, but the wish is you.

From the back of the class to the front of the line, happy birthday, partner, you're still doing fine.

Birthday rap lyrics for a brother or sister

We fought for the front seat for twenty-odd years, today it's all yours, along with these cheers.

You stole all my clothes and you blamed it on me, but happy birthday anyway, see what a saint I can be.

Same parents, same house, same terrible jokes, happy birthday from the better of the folks.

Birthday rap lyrics for mom or dad

You taught me to drive and you're still not recovered, happy birthday to the best dad, no, the best mother.

You said "when you're older you'll understand", I'm older, I get it, now let's eat the cake, man.

Every year wiser, every year cooler, still the only boss and the only real ruler.

Birthday rap lyrics for a boyfriend or girlfriend

I'd skip every party to sit with you, but it's your party, so I guess I'll come too.

Out of all of the birthdays, this one's the best, because I get to spend it with you, and forget the rest.

You're the beat in my song and the hook in my verse, happy birthday, my love, you're my favorite verse.

Birthday rap lyrics for a coworker

You fixed the printer, you're a legend for real, happy birthday, now let's take a long lunch deal.

You answer my emails in under a day, that's rare in this office, so hip hip hooray.

Funny birthday rap lyrics about getting older

Another year passed and your knees made a sound, the candles cost more than the cake that we found.

You're not getting older, you're vintage, it's true, like a classic old record, scratched, but still new.

They lit all the candles, the fire alarm cried, you're not old, you're just extra bright inside.

How do you write a personal birthday rap?

1. Add their name. It instantly turns a generic line into theirs.
2. Use one real detail. "Late to the party" only works if they always are.
3. Keep it short. Four lines read well on a card; two lines work as a caption.
4. End warm. Roast if you like, but finish on something kind.
