  • Building on this, once you have a rhythm, you can start to imagine what your lyrical structure and flow is like. Once you know how the words are going to fit in the rhythm, look for words that articulate the thoughts and feelings that went into the melody. Then find words that rhyme with the previous set of words, and string them together with the beat as a guideline for how many syllables you can fit.

    Unfortunately, your first few goes are going to be either word salads that don’t really make sense or pretty derivative of lyricists and poets you like. But a wiser fella than I once said “Sucking at something is the first step towards being sorta good at something.”










  • The only sport I’m actually talented in is lacrosse, but it’s so goddamn bougie that no school I went to ever really supported it. I remember one time in PE we just kinda split the gym in half with floor hockey on one side and basketball on the other. My buddy and I went to grab sticks and we saw they had lacrosse equipment so we dug out a couple sticks and started tossing a ball around. Our teacher was like “Hey, I appreciate you two finding something you’re excited about, but it’s just not what we’re doing right now.”
