1. Base your songs on experiences you have personally gone through. They will be more relatable, and what has more meaning than issues that every person has to overcome each and every day?
2. Learn how to use metaphors correctly, and expand your vocabulary as much as possible... and remember, LINES DO NOT HAVE TO RHYME! there are such things called "soft rhymes" as well. just make sure your melody has rhythm, and you'll be absolutely fine
3. Just start by putting words on paper. Even if they don't rhyme and have no meter or rhythm. Just get them out. Then start to work them into a melody. As you rework the words into a poem-like structure, it's easier to find the melody. Others create a melody and just add words to it as they go along.
