    When you write lyrics...

    First off, I'd like to say sorry if this thread has been made a billion times before.

    When you right lyrics, do you listen to music? Or would you rather write lyrics in silence?

    What helps you write lyrics?

    Write to the beat you're gonna record on, obviously. Or write then listen to the ebat and edit your verse. Text write to a beat if it helps your flow or no beat if it helps you that way. I guess this is just someones personal preference, theres no right/wrong way.

    write to a beat if you have one handy, but if not, just write what sounds good in your head

    I need to write in silence..cause I find when I write to a beat..trying to keep my typing up with the flow doesn't work..so it always throws me off..and it comes off not flowing..

    I usually just think of lyrics in my head to an imaginary beat, but if there's something with a a beat to it like a clinking gas pump it helps a lot a more. Then if I come up with a cool line or idea I try to find a beat that'll go with it and then write to the beat.

    But honestly the biggest things that ever helped me write lyrics was hooked-on-phonics and my 75 cents to buy a pen.

    I usually write when im stressed, because thats when you can show all of your emotions well. I listen through beats until one gets my attention for that moment, and then I write to it... Thats me, and I only write at night, I hate the sun light...
    It ruins the mood for me...
