Both, but if I had to choose one or the other; lyrics.
Do you listen to music for the beat, lyrics, or both?

I have to like both the beat and the lyrics in order to truly appreciate a song. If it's just the lyrics, then I wouldn't be too disappointed, but nonsencial beats don't ring to well in my head. For shorts no matter how catchy a song is if I don't like the lyrics, I won't like the song...unless it's foreign...

I listen to music for the overall sound - the instruments used, the quality of the singing, the tune, the way it blends together...
The lyrics are more of an added bonus, but a song with fantastic lyrics can turn a really good song into an outright masterpiece. It's no wonder why I love Epica so much...- Sep 06, 2010

Oh, I realized something kind of obvious: depending on what genre the song is and what singing style is being employed, the lyrics are prone to have a varying effect on the song itself. Death metal, for example - in most cases, the lyrics are incomprehensible on a first listen through, or at least for those who aren't any good at distinguishing one harsh noise from another. On the other end of the scale, most pop songs actually rely on their lyrics to make the song popular enough for success (whether because of the fact that a huge portion of their target audience are teenage girls who cling to romantic fantasies or something else, I'm not sure - I generally make a habit of keeping my distance from pop at all times).

I believe that convinacion of both must be one so that it arrives you to a song at the heart and the soul

Both. For example, there are songs whose melodies I don't particularly like but their lyrics make me like them and vice versa. Though, if usually prefer both. Those kind of songs are the best.

Lyrics are a big factor because I love to sing along, but that doesn't mean the lyrics have to be deep. But without a good beat and sound and a bunch of other factors that make music what it is, the lyrics are just a poem. So I listen to music for both. Even if I don't know what the lyrics mean because they're in another language, I still think they play an important part, because it's generally the lyrics and the way in which they're presented that make a song stick with you.

Both obviously. Losing the lyrics would make music become melody and losing the beats would make it plain singing.
