For me particularly, if I'm writing lyrics, I visualize in my head how it will be sung as I'm writing, and maybe music to go along with it. Poems I tend to focus more on rhythm and rhyming because it will usually always be read the same way. You can't really tell how lyrics are going to be sung until you actually hear them. I don't know if I'm still making sense or if I'm rambling to myself, so I'll just second that 'practice practice practice,' because it is important.
