Need help writing lyrics.

I'm writing songs for a present for one of my friends, but I am a complete weirdo when it comes to songs. They used to be so cheesy when I was little. Let's just say... depressing rap sung by a little girl does NOT work.

If I can get a couple words then that would be awesome. I can't really say in the CD "Credit to many people I met off the internet" so it can't be more then inspiration xD

When I was little I wrote a song about graffiti, and it's actually pretty good. So here's the album so far:

1. Graffiti

Thanks!

PS: I can't listen to my iPod right now for inspiration. My little sister is listening *cough* ow my ears *cough* and singing along.

Re: Need help writing lyrics.

I rap. I'm a very skilled rapper, actually. Not to brag  tongue
Er, I dunno. I can't really suggest things for other people to rap/sing/write/anything about, because they're all supposed to be ways for the writer to express themselves  tongue

This DID get buried very quickly. Like, insanely quickly o_O

Re: Need help writing lyrics.

What sort of theme do you want the lyrics based around? (Unless you want us to just give random lyrics)

I either want it to be about being happy, just basically lighthearted. Graffiti is the only weird-ish song.

Re: Need help writing lyrics.

gosh I wish they didnt take all the good songs! Anyway here you are!

Trying my best to play along
This is why I'm singing this happy song
I am usually pesstimisic
now I am optimistic

That Bites right!XD
Here is the real thing:
You have been there forever
Trying your best through every endeavor
I know without you I wouldn't be anything today
Because your the reason I wanted to stay
__________ I've been trying my best to keep moving on
Person's Name
But your grip is tighter than iron
Your the reason I've wanted to stay
Just on another day

Inspiration Blam!!!!

Re: Need help writing lyrics.

It Bites all of it probably..When I was little I made up a song and I sung it in front of the whole class. it bit when I looked back at it.
Mama mama please dont leave me
Mama mama please dont leave me
Something like that is what I can procurr

Re: Need help writing lyrics.

This will probably make me sound like a big DIsney-Nerd, but yesterday Selena Gomez's "A Year Without Rain" inspired me to make this for my friends.

Re: Need help writing lyrics.

I, personally, get my inspiration from staring at a blank, white, wall in silence.
I doubt that would work for anyone else, though  tongue

Re: Need help writing lyrics.

Here's some inspiration  lol

I'm rhymin'
At the wrong timin'
I'm a poet
And I sure know it

I'm walkin' down the street
Starein' at mah feet
I try to make a rap
But it's a real piece of c**p

I wish
I could be a fish
And eat a big dish
I can't rhyme this line

Wait!
I just did!
This song is kinda stupid
I like the number eight

Oh well
This song sure was swell
I guess this is my farewell!
Bye
