4. Clever Wordplay and Rhyming
Heavy use of wordplay and rhyming can make a song fun and interesting because listeners can pick up on little fun things that they may have missed the first few times. These techniques demonstrate the imagination of a lyricist and bring more interest to the hearer to a piece of music.

There are actually countless reasons behind why people know him as one of the world’s best rappers; one major reason is that Eminem uses unique wordplay and rhyme schemes. One of his famous songs, ‘‘Lose Yourself’’ released in 2002 has complex internal rimes and syllabic rimes making the flow quite fast. This lyrical trickery is done superbly and contributes to the forceful message of go and take control of your opportunities this is form Eminem.

**Joni Mitchell** also employs whimsical terms in order to express mature themes. When she released the song, *Big Yellow Taxi* in 1970, she produced the lyrics *they paved paradise, and put up a parking lot. * The use of humorous approach is applied to the message instead of formally addressed and serious-reaching topic which makes it more easy-listening but does not underestimate the task.

5. Simplicity
As with most things in this world, we have those that go for the extremities which apply the depths of language and bombast in metaphors and those which apply straightforward might. Straightforward words are more effective in transferring a message and leave the powerful meaning contained in the song’s melody more prominent.

*John Lennon*’s ‘Imagine’ (1971) retuned sentiment nothing’s better that the music stripped of its flamboyant and unnecessary frills. Hence the song got simple lyrics such as; *’…imagine them all living life in peace’* Lennon got a simple message of unity and peace. Because the text of the song is quite minimal, that is why everybody can easily sing it and this factor has led to its pervasiveness as a song of change.

Conclusion
Most of the aspects inherent to famous lyricists including storytelling, use of metaphors, true emotions, play with words, and the plain language used are the aspects that make greatest hits timeless. From intricate stories of sadomasochism or themes as open as love and death these lyricists have found ways to paint the human canvas in black and white. Their songs make us realize the difference that a song actually creates it is not just about coming up with lyrics that fit the tune but coming up with something that people will carry long after they have left the concert.
