hire a good lyrics prompter

There's a couple good tricks. Song blueprinting certainly helps. Usually, a chorus comes most easily; so to figure out how to structure the verses after you're got a good chorus, you write out what you want to be the goal of each of the verses you wrap around thereafter.

And be sure to memorise as many great lyrics in as many styles as you can, as well as much great poetry in as many styles as you can. It works the same way as it does with learning how to play an instrument. The best way to get good is to memorize a lot of great songs.

If his lyrics were sooooo good, why did he kill himself? Any writer who kills himself is admitting he was bad.

Study what you believe constitutes as good lyrics and you will attain "good lyrics"!

You don't

You write mediocre lyrics and your let the the music as well as your general image as an artist delude your audience into thinking they're good

Most song lyrics would seem like absolute shit if they were a poem, but the truth is that they don't matter that much in music.

Study post-troubadour poetry.
