would it be lyrics first or the melody? from what i've heard the common is lyrics comes first. but there are also who says melody comes first.
now if ever, you have the lyrics and the melody now, which ever came first, the next question is in what genre or style of music is the end result of your composition? who decides? the lyricist or the arranger, the one who do all the musical arrangement?

Sometimes, i start from playing my guitar, and found some chord or melody that nice to be arrange into a song. And sometimes i start from singing a own lyric. but it's more easier if you make a melody or arrange a music first then make a lyric for that melody.
