Instructions
Step 1
The most important thing is to choose the topic of the text. There is no need to invent here. Rap is the music of the streets, which means that the lyrics, like in any other poetry, should come from the heart. They should be about what is painful. Again, in order for rap to be interesting to many, the topic cannot be only personal experiences, although they can be expressed in such words that they will touch the hearts of people. And remember that good text can be practically without rhymes, but it cannot be without meaning.
Step 2
Next, we begin to select rhymes. It is important here to move away from clichés, in other words, get rid of the most obvious and hackneyed rhymes. If the word "cannon" comes to mind only "edge", then you can not continue. If there are other options, you must choose the most original ones. Don't forget about imprecise rhymes. The main thing is for the listener to be surprised.
Step 3
You can rhyme both adjacent lines, and through a line or two. You can rhyme within one line through a word or several words in a row. It is more difficult to rhyme line by line - here all words in a line must rhyme with the words of the next line.
Step 4
All in all, this is all it takes to write good rap lyrics. It is also important not to forget about the beat - the written text must clearly fit into the beat. Since rap is a modern example of accent verse, tonic versification, with the right composition, it will be easy to fit into a beat. It is important to remember that rap is based on the quantitative equality of stress in a line, while the intervals between stressed syllables can be any.
