A little different, but I write rhymes for songs. For me, its usually at random times a rhyme will just pop into my head. A really clever one-liner or a great metaphorical bar will just hit me out of nowhere and ill try to jot it down.
When I sit down and really write a song, it's usually when I'm at an extreme in moods. AKA either really depressive or feeling really confident and happy. Then once I hear a beat that puts off that same vibe, everything just clicks. I make up hypothetical situations in my head and kind of play off of them. Or when writing about relationships or women I take past relationships and alter them a little bit. Almost pretend certain things happened to really put me in the mood for a song writing.
