(Chorus - Sung melodically)

Kanye West, you really are the best,

Changed the game, more than just fame,

From Kim to Bianca, your life's a bonanza,

Influential, so essential, your impact's monumental.

(Verse 1)

Yeah, it's Cardi, on this beat, I'ma start this,

Talkin' 'bout Ye, man, he's the hardest,

From the Chi, to the sky, his legacy won't tarnish,

Every bar he spits, critics astonished.

Kim was the queen, in his high-fashion dream,

Now with Bianca, he's still on the team,

Influential, his credentials, in every scene,

Man changed the game, in every magazine.

His style's wild, shoes walked a thousand miles,

Yeezy jumps leaps, making stacks in piles,

Producin', reducin', negativity with smiles,

Kanye's the file, turning trials into vials.

Creating art, from his heart, tearing charts apart,

From the start, smart, playing his part,

Influential in gestures, both small and vast,

Ye's icon status, forever gonna last.

(Chorus)

Kanye West, truly one of the best,

Innovation, elevation, he's passed the test,

From Kim to Bianca, life's complex drama,

Influential, fundamental, a saga of grandeur and armor.

(Verse 2)

Let's get it, Cardi B, in the place to be,

Speaking on Ye, he's history,

From beats to tweets, controversy in the streets,

But at the core, his music's a treat.

Talk Saint Pablo, Donda, to The Life of Pablo,

In every album, his genius ain't subtle,

Far from a muddle, rise from the rubble,

Ye's in his bubble, creating on the double.

Influential like a stencil, his impact's presidential,

From design to the vine, his vision's quintessential,

Fashion lines, divine, headlines sequential,

Ye's narrative,

(Verse 1)

Yo, kick back, let me weave you a tale,

'Bout a man whose ambitions never fail.

Elon Musk, yeah, he's the name,

Changing the game, ain't no shame in his fame.

Started with PayPal, stacking his cash,

Then moved to Tesla, making a splash.

Electric cars, yeah, they go fast,

Zero to sixty, leave you in the past.

SpaceX the dream, shooting for Mars,

Building rockets, aiming for the stars.

Not just a dreamer, but a doer, you see,

Changing the world, setting humanity free.

(Chorus - Singer Style)

Elon Musk, taking us higher,

His dreams of Mars, igniting the fire.

In a Tesla, across the stars we blaze,

With Elon Musk, we're in a new space age.

(Verse 2)

Now let's talk about the man's vision,

Talking Mars colonization, not fiction.

He's planning a city, for us to dwell,

In space suits, living well.

The Boring Company, don't sleep on that,

Digging tunnels, like a mole, combat the traffic jam combat.

Innovation's his game, in everything he names,

From internet in space, he's securing his fame.

SolarCity, bright like the sun,

Renewable energy, the future's begun.

Elon's mind, it never rests,

Pushing forward, passing all tests.

(Chorus - Singer Style)

Elon Musk, taking us higher,

His dreams of Mars, igniting the fire.

In a Tesla, across the stars we blaze,

With Elon Musk, we're in a new space age.

(Bridge - Rap)

From PayPal to rockets, he's soaring above,

A visionary leader, with dreams made of love.

Mars ain't just a planet, it's a new hope,

With Elon's guidance, I know we can cope.
