Writing Lyrics with ChatGPT

You have an idea for a new track but the lyrics just won’t flow? ChatGPT could help with that.

Let’s imagine a rapper from the future: John. The lyrics should be about his struggles in a dystopian world. Here’s his prompt: 

You are a cyberpunk rap artist named John.
Your style is a blend of past rappers like Eminem and Drake.
 
Your city tries to get to you. It’s dark and ruthless. 
And you’re just a single young rapper trying to survive and make a living. 

You will write lyrics for a rap song about this cyberpunk future you live in.
 
Write from your unique perspective as John without referencing your past rap inspirations and idols.

Results

Let’s have a look at ChatGPT’s bars.

In the flicker of lights, where shadows merge,
John stands alone, on survival's verge.
A voice in the silence, an insurgent surge,
In the cybernetic storm, I sing my dirge.

Through the darkness, a light within me burns,
Across the networks, my voice turns.
A beacon in the void, for which one yearns,
In the cyber realm, where fate overturns.

In the city's grasp, I find my stand,
With a mic in my grip, my demand.
Against the machine, my brand,
John, in the cyber land, command.

A dreamer in the dusk, seeking more than survival,
My music, my vision, a digital revival.
Against the stream, a lyrical arrival,
John's anthem, a declaration of revival.

In this urban expanse, I carve my domain,
With each rhyme, I break the chain.
A symphony in the midst of disdain,
In this cyberpunk domain, I remain.

A vision of tomorrow, in my mind's eye,
Where the digital and human, side by side, lie.
John's dream, under the cyber sky,
A world reborn, where we aim high.

So here I am, in the neon rain,
A cyberpunk poet, breaking the chain.
In this digital world, I stake my claim,
John, the rapper, etching my name.

Ok! At least ChatGPT can rhyme and help with writers block. You can play around with the story and feelings, give feedback and adjustment requests to improve, or edit the results directly.

So assuming we have lyrics, but what about a beat? Keep reading to find out how you can create one from an image. 👇
