Singin is swingin and writin is fightin, but what

from Black Star (Ft. Vinia Mojica) – K.O.S. (Determination) Lyrics on Rap Genius

Singing is swinging refers to the jazz style of “swing.” Black Star’s rap often samples jazz music.

Writing is fighting is a reference to getting past writers block, but also writing as fighting replaces real life violence, which Kweli renounces above.

Swinging is also a pun because you swing when you fight.
