Either way. Whichever is inspiring you more at the time. You can always sing the lyrics to yourself to help you come up with a melody. And there are many possible lyrics that can go into a pre-existing tune. Sometimes its even better to come up with meaningful lyrics without the tune, otherwise, you may find yourself trying to mold your lyrics to a set tune, and change the meaning of the song in the process. This could be good or bad depending on how it turns out at the end. If you come up with a tune, explore it, write it down, you may even change it. Then add lyrics later. Or if you have lots of thoughts in your head, write the words first, come up with the tune later.
I guess this is sort of a long-winded answer, but it goes to show why many of the great song writers were song writing teams. And I'm sure you've heard really great music that had stupid words, and cases of really great words stuck in a crappy tune.

It all depends. The creative process is different for everyone. Do you have some words in mind? If so, write a melody to the words. If you have a melody and no words, find words that fit the tune.
Good Luck!

Write them both at the same time so you can blend the melody and the lyrics together to make a good song, and if you write them together, you can change one thing that doesn't quite fit in one part to match the other instead of writing them separately

Unless you have a little melody or riff spinning around in your head already, then you should start with text. It will give you a sense of the type of song and the rhythms that the finished product will have.

I've done it both ways. Typically, however, the music comes first. Depending on the mood of the music I'll put appropriate lyrics to it.
