"How do you think up those lyrics?"

I like my lyrics to be personal. I love connecting and relating with my listeners. At the end of the day we are all human, we all have some similar outlooks, and experience some similar things. Such as Death, Love, and Health. I like using this to create a song that the listener can relate to. Off course there are always some expectations where i want to write catchy fun songs, such as "My Teacher". 

Inspiration for a song can spring from many things, Ive had many occasions where i am brushing my teeth and a song ideas pops in my head. I write it down and create a song based upon it.  My song "Figured You Out" for example, i was arguing with a girl through text messaging and i told her "You just don't like that i figured you out". and from that, the song was born, i wrote the whole song off that one line.

I used to always find a beat, listen to it, and write the song depending on the vibe i get from the beat. Now that i produce my own beats, most of the time i do it backwards, i write a song, then create the beat around the song i wrote. It works really good, but because i do the entire process now (Make the Beat, Write the song, Go to the studio and record it) it shortens the amount of tracks i can put out in a period of time. But remember Quality over Quantity.

If you are someone who is interested in writing songs, just do a quick Google search of "How to write a song" and you will find tons of useful articles.
