^Me listening to these songs to properly round up this post.

So, with that in mind, here are some of the most ridiculous song lyrics shared, as well as Redditors' funniest reactions to learning about them/remembering them:

1."Drowning" by A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie ft. Kodak Black

"I'm the shit/ I'm fartin'. I don't know how to potty."

"I have listened to that song, like, a hundred times. I thought it was 'I’m that shit. I’m foreign. I don’t know how to party.' I’m literally shook. I did not know that’s what he was saying."

2."It's Everyday Bro" by Jake Paul ft. Team 10

"England is my city."

"I've heard Jake Paul try to defend this by saying that there is a real city called 'England' (I believe it's in the US? Maybe?), but that clearly isn't what you meant, Jake. The lyric is about Nick Crompton, and he's from the UK — where England is not a fucking city."

"Me not working hard? Yeah, right, picture that with a Kodak. Or better yet, go to Times Square, take a picture of me with a Kodak."
