So two bars would be, for ex: "Laid his ass flat in the street, ya I splattered his mind// Walked away with his life and his shine//" (Fat Joe). Secondly, when you write it's a good idea to pick a general topic, e.g. having a tough childhood, and focus your rap on that. Thirdly, if you're actually interested in making songs, then hooks are key! Hooks are the choruses, i.e. the few bars that get repeated throughout the song at the end of every verse. Put together a catchy hook and people will eventually listen to the verses. Finally, the best way to learn how to write is to freestyle...you have to be able to freestyle and flow fluently in order to write imho. After freestlying for a bit you'll see how to put together words and how certain things flow together better than others. I don't know....those are some helpful starting points I think. Nick.

yo gives you some ideas with starting points he thinks
but you gonna have problems if you know you pink
cuz every move you make in public gonna sink
and you end up lookin straight up rinky dink
