lyric stump 

When you are producing words for a song (or something like that) and you all of a sudden lack any quality in your lyrics or genuinely can't think of any, this is called a lyric stump and it is a very common problem among all types of musicians, and some solutions involve:
Listening to Music
Reading something
Painting or looking at other paintings
You get the idea.

This will often happen if you are changing how you are singing about something and/or what you are singing about.
An example of a lyric stump:
He knocks on Satan's door
Delivers whom he bore
And...And..err...Damn it! I was getting somewhere with this!

Dirty-Lyric Syndrome

Dirty-lyric syndrome is when you have a song stuck in your head, but all you can remember are the dirty lyrics. e.g. Cuss words, innuendo, racial slurs, etc.
Wendy: Argh, I've got dirty-lyric syndrome.

Wilfred: What's that?!

Wendy: Well, it's when you have a song stuck in your head, but all you can remember are the inappropriate lyrics.

Wilfred: Oh, I get that all the time. What's stuck in your head?

Wendy:
"Sarah got fucked up in the back seat last night
And she don't give no fuck.

She got fucked in the public bathroom last night too,
And she don't give a damn."

What about you?

Wilfred: I've got some of ICP's Chop Chop Slide stuck in my head.

Wendy: Orly? How's it go?

Wilfred: Like this:
"Fuck shit pussy ass,
Motherfuckin' damn bitch

Bitch damn motherfuckin',
Ass pussy shit fuck."

Wendy: Your's is worse than mine, content wise.

Wilfred: Yeah, if I sang that at school I'd get a week's worth of dententions.

Wendy: Same here.

Lyric-snitching

Lyric-snitching is the act of incriminating yourself or others through online content, like rap lyrics or music videos. While it's not always direct evidence, it can be a critical tipping point in a criminal case, making or breaking the prosecution.

Example:
police already had his phone records and seized the drugs, but when he rapped about cooking crack in his kitchen, it was an online confession that—lyric-snitching that sealed the case against him.
Lee: Bruv, I keep seeing all these rappers getting busted for rapping about their crimes online.

Frank: Init, bruv, they don't do themselves any favours, do they? Love lyric-snitching themselves,

LOL.

Lee: Init, bruv, LOL.

Frank: LOL.

Kanye Lyric Syndrome 

(n.) A condition where a hip hop song is blessed with an immaculate instrumental/track, but is also cursed with bizarre or terrible lyrics, resulting in a song worshipped regardless.
Pablo: I just listened to Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1 by Kanye. The vocals and beat are goated!
Taylor: Yeah, but the Kanye lyric syndrome kills the vibe – especially the stuff about the bleach and model.
Pablo: Meh. I don't even want to talk about it. Kanye is still goated. I WANNA WAKE UP WITH YOU IN MY ARMS~

I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE'S IN THE BLEACHERS! 

A half-assed, CAPS LOCKED attempt at an apology for interrupting an awards acceptance speech. An obvious try for a compliment before going back to the original point to which you are originally apologizing for.
