I would say the most simple shit, and probably the most meaningful and helpful shit in this thread...just stay in school. If you learn new words and vocab and shit like that...you can use better wordage and don't have to be the average nursery rhymer. But alway stay true with your lyrics. If you're writing lyrics, and got a dictionary right next to you...UR A BUST!!


reading contributes to one of the aspects of being a technically good lyricist, ie vocab

therefore it ain't bullshit, but i guess your the only one who don't see it

think of any lyricist that you respect for being dope and i dare you to try talk bullshit like they don't read books
