Trinidad James actually didn't win a grammy ...

[RC998]

On Monday night, Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' mega-hit "Uptown Funk" took home two Grammys for "Record of the Year" and "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance." Trinidad James' hit, "All Gold Everything," was interpolated on the hook, which made him a credited contributor on "Uptown Funk." Despite being credited on the song and attending the Grammys on Monday night, Trinidad didn't actually win an award, according to a rep for the Recording Academy. The rep confirmed to Complex that because "Uptown Funk" won for "Record of the Year" and "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance," only the performers and producers of the song actually won a Grammy. "Songwriters do not share in the nomination or win for a GRAMMY award in a record of the year," the rep told Complex via email.

To clarify, if the track had won the award for "Song of the Year" instead, Trinidad would have been awarded a Grammy because everyone involved in the making of the song wins in that category.

This is from a Complex Magazine article, here is the link to it

What lyric was it?

the lyric was ''Don't Believe Me, Just Watch''. Trinidad James got 5 % of the royalties or something and made $ 150,000 off of the song and got song writing credits.

if they won song of the year then everybody involved, producers, songwriters, performers win grammys which means that Trinidad would win a grammy. they won Record of the year which means the producers and performers will win a grammy but songwriters like Trinidad won't

Song of the year, lyrics of a song. The people who actually wrote get an award.

Record of the year, the actual master recording of a record, so the artist(s), producer(s) and engineer(s) get an award.

The article says that a record is performers and producers. A song is writers, mentors etc that are credited. Outside of awards, there is no real difference.

Only the people with songwriting credits get a song of the year award.
