How do I write good lyrics?
I used to make songs a while ago and I wanna get back into that, but whenever I try to write lyrics my mind just goes blank. What should I do?

One of the best ways to become a better songwriter is to turn to the songs and poetry you admire for inspiration. Maybe take a break from writing your own lyrics and listen to your favorite songs again: what is it about them you love? What do you find moving or meaningful about them?
When you do sit down to write, go slow, and don't feel pressured to write a perfect song from the get-go: it may take time, especially if you haven't done it in a while. Brainstorming and freewriting can help you develop ideas to write about. So can changing your environment: take a walk, and take notes about what you observe.
