For mom
[Verse]
NAME on the mic and the whole house knows
She found my keys and she found my clothes
"Did you eat? Did you text when you got there?"
AGE years strong and she's still the boss in here
[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Mom, it's your day
Put the phone down, let us take the plates away
For dad
[Verse]
NAME on the grill like a legend in his prime
Tells the same joke and he laughs every time
Thermostat locked like the vault at a bank
AGE today, and we've got you to thank
[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Dad, take a bow
Best dad jokes in the world, right here, right now
For a best friend
[Verse]
NAME walked in and the party got loud
Late to every plan but the first in the crowd
AGE looks good, I ain't saying it twice
Still owe me twenty, but the vibe's worth the price
[Chorus]
It's your birthday, NAME, turn it up
Cake in one hand and the other in the cup
For grandma or grandpa
[Verse]
NAME is AGE and still running the show
Sunday dinner's the hottest ticket in town, you know
Beats us at cards, never lost a game
Crown on the head, we all know the name
[Chorus]
Happy birthday, legend, AGE and gold
Never getting older, just getting bold
Kid-friendly lines
Lyrics for a child's birthday, rapped by a parent or an older sibling (the child cannot be in the video, because photos of minors are not allowed):
[Verse]
NAME is AGE and the cake is here
Biggest smile at the party, give a cheer
Party hat on and the games begin
Frosting on your nose and a giant grin
[Chorus]
Happy birthday, NAME, hip hip hooray
Blow out the candles, it's your big day

Then make the video
A video raps 15 seconds of the song, so pick the chorus: it has the name and it is the catchiest part. Upload one photo, yours or the birthday person's with their OK. Choose the balloon throne with a gold crown and cake, or the party booth, and pay once: $9.90 per video.
About 5 minutes later you get a vertical MP4 with sound. Step by step: how to make a birthday rap video. Gift ideas for parents and grandparents are in a birthday rap for mom.
Tips for better birthday bars
- One real detail per verse. "Still owes me twenty" beats "you're the best".
- Put the name in the chorus. That is the part the video most likely raps.
- Short lines. They rap more clearly and lip-sync better.
- Tease gently. Age jokes land best when the birthday person will laugh too.
