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

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

I’ve got over 3000 songs downloaded on my phone and I’d bet the house I can sing at least 25 percent of them without a lyric sheet and make no mistakes, the rest I could likely sing with a handful of mistakes

I’ve always been told, and known that I have an incredible memory for lyrics, which is funny because I have a horrible memory for literally everything else, but I can memorize most songs within a few listens and I very rarely forget them once learned

Answer is, some people are just better at some things than others, and the singers that aren’t good at it just spend a lot of time memorizing it, it is their job after all

On top of this if the artist actually helped write the song or wrote it themselves they’re already very, very familiar with it so they likely memorized it as they wrote it to some extent
