How do singers, especially lyrically dense rappers, memorize dozens or even triple digit number of songs?

Question

I’m notoriously bad at memorizing lyrics so it’s mind boggling to me.

Everyone is human, people forget all the time. Some people find creative ways to save it.

Also, memory is repetition. If you write and record and perform and practice a song 100 times, it’s easier to remember than hearing it a few times on the radio. I’ve memorized my favourite songs because I’ve listened to them for a decade. Most songs I really like will still take 20-50 listens before I can sing along confidently
