I'd do what Geno suggested. It's the clearest and most cohesive way to write your lyrics. You should definitely check that link in my signature as well.

Writing in couplets is also good because if you have different sets of ending rhymes on every 2 bars it'll keep the whole thing more interesting. As for the "mathematics" of it, just do the first line that ends in a rhyme and it's a clear statement. Like "I'm sitting here typing crazy advices". So what you do is, you think of a couple of rhymes for "advices" (or maybe for "crazy advices" if you want to do multies) and then pick some of the rhymes that you like. See what that word is associated with i.e. what does it mean. For example first thing that came to mind for "advices" is "vices". Vice means a bad habit so I can say:

I'm sitting here typing crazy advices
Drinking and smoking are my vices

Now this is stupid as fuck but you know what I mean. Or if I opted out for devices or dices, I could've said something else and direct my ides in a different way. Also try to keep the length of each line around the same as the previous one.

I will check out ur link as well as I really wanna improve my writing.

U guys think it is a bad thing to use the rhyming website for words to use?


You're welcome!

Well I don't know, I never use such website for writing on my own language because I think it's cheating, haha. As for when I write on English (which is rarely) I do use them but it's more so that I make sure that the words rhyme. I think if you try to come up with the rhymes by yourself it will help you to store them in your memory more easily. And the problem with writing block is usually the lack of stored rhymes and that's why writer's block is a bigger problem at first. Also, the more you write the more your brain will get used to coming up with rhymes and connecting ideas so it'll become like a second nature.

Nah it isn't terrible. You definitely have the idea of rhyming down, I'd suggest just do what everyone above has said. Pick a slow tempo beat, and focus on rhyming. You can go without couplets if you want to, but it's pretty difficult to flow unless you've practiced at it.
You'd be surprised...
How many truths you can hide in flows

This. And man, don't worry about the quality of your content just yet, for now the most important thing is to practice the fundamentals. And remember, the quality goes hand in hand with the experience, so don't think that you suck because you've compared yourself with someone who's been doing it for 10 years.
