what lyricists do you admire?

Lyrics are an art, and art is subjective so you can get away with almost anything... Just saying.

Just unleash your subconscious and don't restrict yourself. Also what the first user said..

read a lot of different books and styles of writing
i could write pretty well when i was reading several books in a week, but now that i'm on something like three in a year i can't write worth a damn

it doesnt have to be quality to be popular
just add something like

wo oh oh gonna party hard
wo oh oh boy want ur trump card
wo oh oh trump gets me hard
wo oh oh gonna party hard

drop the x8
drop the bass n shake dat ass

inb4 millions, you´re rich now

just do what Jeff Mangum does and pick words you like and mix them all up

or just copy Rimbaud or Milton

Tell me what ya think of this song idea I had.

Here's some lyrics I have so far.

I'm a bragadious dude I skate everyday I grind the grind I made it mine
I'm a bragadious dude. I have over 100 email accounts, more than you

I'm a bragadious dude I skate every day I grind the grind I make it mine cause I'm a bragadious.

I have a grandma whose 95, older than you

Do you like poetry and classic literature?

Start by reading as much as you can of the old masters. (Ok, just start with one poetry compilation book. I think the first one I read was called something like American Anthology Of Poetry. Or something like that.)

When singing, you will be using poetic license a whole lot to stretch a rhyme or cut down a long bit of prose into something that kind of rhymes.

Also listen to classic rock and roll a whole bunch, if you like rock and roll.

When you write, write from the heart. AKA Write what you know. Go out and live a little to keep your moral and interest up.

thanks.
Im starting to read poetry. love sonnets.
