My view/experience is that any music with lyrics = cognitive load / distraction.

Yes. My belief is that that is due to the "irrelevant sound [or speech] effect".

(What about non-lyrical music? I'm not sure. The research literature on music interfering/non-interfering with cognition is old, large, and highly equivocal in my impression: https://www.gwern.net/Music-distraction )
