I've done both. I've written lyrics and put the music to it and made the music and put lyrics to it. I've discovered that it's hardest to put music to a song that you have written the lyrics first but can definitely be done (I did so for a friend "King Siah" on his song "Motivation". It's on our website www.OrganicPoetTree.com). And the song on there that it labeled "You Got to Change" has the music written first and then the words were put to it. However, Working on our fourth song we are making both the music and the words at the same time and to be 100% honest, it is the most work but is turning out to make the best product. Treat making a song like building with legos. Put the pieces that you see fit first and build.
