    I like it. Although I feel as if you were focusing more on the flow and delivery than the fluidity of your lyrics placement and track mixing. I envy your voice lol. I would like some feedback on this verse if you don't mind:

    How real can it get this mortality is something else/
    The appeal within its over shadowed by limited health/
    Lives dealt with a hand of illness and other people die/
    Because to them ignorance is being fearless why even try/
    My reason is logic self preservation/
    Of ones moral compass for those who got it some consciences stay remaining vacent
    Composite traces of remorse not detected even though lectures/
    Some stay disconnected like corpses from specters/
    Hectic though it seems problems being of our own creations/
    With pursuit of dreams unreachable destinations/
    We are a team fighting each other over our cadence/
    Who instead of staying clean would rather cover up with a fragrance/

    Sittin here bored outta my mind, writing rhymes just to kill time
    On the frontline my style is sublime, airline to Anaheim
    Then head to Huntington beach for the women & sunshine
    Life couldn't even get any better like Floyd playing in Mayweather,
    A mover and shaker, niggas shook, meet your maker,the Undertaker
    This shit is blood, sweat and tears, I have no fears
    Tighten up your security like wheel locks on lavish wheels
    Your girl take a trip to my crib, and took semen as her souvenir
    I surpass my peers, can't see'em in the rear
    I got $4,000 worth of metal in my mouth, so I can hear the girls say damn nigga you have a nice smile, wow
    Things never changed if your still tied to your mother's apron strings
    So get up off your ass, and overcome the impasse, and progress to be first class
    Or just sit in the back of class and get high, Money and fame don't mean a damn thing to most
    Unless you never had it, and they always boast but it comes and goes like mother natures ravage
    Savage your ego, live life in the shadow, like John Doe and found in the streets covered in blood from head to toe
    It's a sad story though

    I'm going to focus on logical structure rather than rhyme scheme and flow for this one.


    How real can it get this mortality is something else/ - seems like two topics smushed into one line, try something like ; How real can life get, my mortality is something (word describing mortality that rhymes).
    The appeal within its over shadowed by limited health/ - limited health doesn't sound right, limited life or declining health would make more sense. Remember, a lot of people from all backgrounds have to understand you, the words you choose are vital.
    (whos?) Lives dealt with a hand of illness and other people die/ - I get what you were trying to do here but it took me re-reading it to make sense of it, think about changing it.
    Because to them ignorance is being fearless why even try/ - Liked that phrase, good job.
    My reason is logic self preservation/ - your reason for what?
    Of ones moral compass for those who got it some consciences stay remaining vacent - I could not make heads or tails of this, i get the general jist of what your saying but it's not clear.

    Composite traces of remorse not detected even though lectures/ -
    com·pos·ite


    Made up of various parts or elements.

    Some stay disconnected like corpses from specters/ - Good line
    Hectic though it seems problems being of our own creations/ - What is it?
    With pursuit of dreams (come) unreachable destinations/ - (or you could put unreasonable expectations)
    We are a team fighting each other over our cadence/ - no idea who your talking about again.
    Who instead of staying clean would rather cover up with a fragrance/
    Work on being a little bit more specific and using clearer sentence structure. if your unsure, even a tiny bit about what a word means, go and look it up!

    Life couldn't even get any better like Floyd playing in Mayweather, -> good
    A mover and shaker, niggas shook, meet your maker,the Undertaker -> sudden change in tone, bit confusing.
    This shit is blood, sweat and tears, I have no fears -> basic
    Tighten up your security like wheel locks on lavish wheels -> not a fan of this metaphor
    Your girl take a trip to my crib, and took semen as her souvenir -> meh
    I surpass my peers, can't see'em in the rear -> meh
    I got $4,000 worth of metal in my mouth, so I can hear the girls say damn nigga you have a nice smile, wow -> is this actually true?
    Things never changed if your still tied to your mother's apron strings -> if isn't needed in this line.
    So get up off your ass, and overcome the impasse, and progress to be first class -> meh
    Or just sit in the back of class and get high, Money and fame don't mean a damn thing to most -> meh
    Unless you never had it, and they always boast but it comes and goes like mother natures ravage -> underlined bit is good
    (add something here like i) Savage your ego, live life in the shadow, like John Doe and found in the streets covered in blood from head to toe
    It's a sad story though

    Overall it didn't spark much of a flame for me, seems basic and wrote in a hurry.

    The verse I posted is the second verse to a full song I have written entitled "Nothing's New". What I meant by "it" through out this verse is life in general and how we choose want over need, desire over will, and lustful imagination over logical thought. Below ima post the hook to see if it makes it have a bit more sense.

    What's the point of having healthy eyes with a broken tongue/
    People who believe the lies say I'm the hopeless one/
    Understand we only choose to die when the world is done/
    From the earth to the sky nothing's new under the sun/

    the games done changed with no freedom of expression
    all theese labels can care about is protecting there investments
    and the payment they collectin
    or the profits they projected
    or the revenue expected
    while theyre artist stay neglected
    then they disrespect ya
    say you goin the wrong direction
    when the direction youve excepted
    is the one that they selected
    and what do they expect when every lyric is inspected
    and your rhymes are some molested
    or corrected
    or contested
    its pathetic
    patience is tested
    when on your first alleged
    cant even get a lyric in whithout election
    when did hiphop drop to become so much less than
    a musical mess or maybe exponential stressin
    i remember back when rapper sent a usable message
    ya parents say do ya best in every thing that comes next kid
    but producers say it equels irrelevance
    id rather eat a million millameters without a vest
    than not follow whats beatin under my chest
    so ill rap my heart out and whatever comes next
    is just the rest
    puth the bullshit up on a shelf
    until my lungs cave in or until there aint nothin left
    man **** a deal be your self

    I think you need to make your lyrics more compact:

    Why have healthy eyes, with a broken tongue,
    you believe the lies, (and) say im the hopless one,
    we only choose to die, when the world is done,
    from the earth to sky, im a hamburger bun,

    Under the sun is used so often in regular talk, i find it pretty boring. Ditch the words that arnt neccesary. why dont you go and ditch the words you are using that are not neccessary to the message.

    Liked it though, good work.

    Edit: Forgot to say don't use people; use you, me, them, they etc.

    E.G. what evokes a stronger response - People say i lie, You say i lie.

    or the revenue expected - saying the same thing 4 times in a row

    My suggestions:


    Uneccesary words


    Rethink structure to simplify understanding

    Use a different word
