Lyrics are so important, but they’re really underrated.

The way I work uses a very on-the-spot flow, and I write the lyrics and the music when I feel them coming.

Let’s be honest, ‘Ginza’ doesn’t really have lyrics to speak of. It’s a party track – a party for Reggaetoneros to come out of the closet.

I see myself like what Drake did in the game. I came with melodies and different lyrics, from a different place – reggaeton is from Puerto Rico; Drake is from Canada.

I think maybe since there isn’t a great deal of access to the mainstream media and people don’t understand the language of mainstream media, if you put music out there with lyrics that are loosely political, people absorb some of it and spit it back out.

My heart is a weatherballoon caught in an updraft of a chinese tax percentage, the tax percentages are unequivocaaaaaaaaaal, Unequivocaaaaaaaaal. This is the sort of lyrics you could never think of, loser. Here’s a razorblade go cut yourself

I don’t write lyrics, the lyrics write Thom Yorke

Alot of my lyrics are about beating my children. ‘Hit the bottom and escape’ is a cry for help. oh god someone stop me

Most Radiohead songs are actually REM songs, I just have a mentally ill child read the lyrics aloud and then I change the melodies a bit

Roughly 90 percent of songs have mating as their central theme, and this holds true regardless of cultural setting or historical period.

A right balance between music and lyrics is important. Music complements lyrics.

My songs are all about celebrating poignant music. While some of them focus on fun and revelry, they are fortunately backed by powerful lyrics. Put together, the lyrics, tune and my voice strive to take the songs to the next level.

Music is the medium. Words merely enhance the composition.

My Lyrics Aren’t Offensive. Some People Find Everything Offensive

When I first started making music, I was all about wordplay and how fast I could rap, but over the years, I’ve really gained an appreciation for melody. What’s cool is that when you’re singing, you have to be concise, and when you’re rapping, you have the opportunity to be really detailed with your lyrics.

As a songwriter you have an umbilical cord to the song and it’s hard to expand on your understanding of the lyrics. Whereas when you cover a song you can create your own reason why you’re attached to it.

It was such a sweet, sad song with such sweet, sad lyrics. Old-fashioned a little, but also timeless.

I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics

I’m not saying I’m God. But as far as lyrics, I’m God MC.

Country music busts the wall between performer and audience. There’s a connection because there’s a vulnerability, a confessional quality, to so much of the songwriting. Those lyrics take you in.

You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay ’em, But you won’t take the sting out these words before I say ’em.
