Is grammar matter in songs (pop songs/rap songs)?
Because I want to write some english songs but Im not a native speaker, I can write simple lyrics but there might be some mistakes/ terms that english speakers wont use . Would it be weird if people listening to these kind of songs?

Grammar often is second to musical concerns. Example, I just answered a question about a piece of rap music. There was nothing even approaching proper grammar in the text. I should point out that specifically American gangster rap has its own vernacular/way of speaking. If you're writing those kind of songs, you will want to be accurate to that vernacular.

@Devion_lehm8 There's just as much grammar in music as in other media, but it often takes a different form. I'm sure much of the same is true in your language(s). Never be afraid to make mistakes — if writing lyrics is something you want to do, such as to improve your English, then do so.

@Blink01 Different grammar can still be proper grammar.
And just because existing practicioners use a particular style, it doesn't mean newcomers have to adopt it.

@Bearsca Find something proper in this. Good luck. That's why I said specifically American gangster rap. If that is the target audience, they have expectations about how it should sound.

@Blink01 thank you for explaining, i had some more question.
The problem is the ‘english vernacular’ in my country/culture might not same as american ,
For example, we say ‘I need no fake friends’ , but people telling me american would say ‘I dont need fake friends’
Is it matter when it coming up in a song, although I guess at least they can understand , will US people think the lyrics and the song were weird?

@Blink01 It's not standard English, but it's just as grammatical.
No artist is beholden to the expectations of the audience.

@Bearsca True, unless they actually want to sell albums. There are a lot more songs that don't become popular than do become popular. They don't meet expectations of the audience.
