I had a nightmare and a dream at the same time 
woke up screamin it aint mine 
thinking i lost my damn mind
cuz when i closed my eyes i saw that i'm,
a father with a daughter thats fourteen 
who could easily pass for, 
anything thats between sixteen n twentyfour 
and the pass few months have been a war
she been cutting her eyes n sucking her teeth
doing a lot of shit thats bold, 
like i wont put my foot in her ass.
i guess she think she to old 
cuz i heard she been getting into fights at school 
and hanging out like she all to cool 
talkin to a nigga that should of graduated like last-year  
and he want to be a rap-per said she gonna be a trap-queen
and it'll be a happily ever af-ter 
my baby mama said she already slapped her  
calling my phone wondering what to do
took a toke of the weed and a sip of my brew 
then it all faded from my point of view 

i had a nightmare and a dream at the same time 
woke up screamin it aint mine
 thinking i lost my damn mind 
cuz when i closed my eyes i saw that im 
just a little nigga with big dreams  
to one day run the whole rap scene 
i can flow for days n every bar clean 
and my homie makes beats n they all mean 
copped them shits for only fifty on the low low 
made a demo tape and got me my first show 
rocked that shit n smashed me a groupie
she had B-cup, Titties and a big-ol, booty 
and i aint gonna lie bruh i had to hit it raw 
in the V.I.P. lady's bathroom stall  
i was blowing up quick, hoes all on my dick
yea everything was good n dandy 
getting paid to tour no more free randy 
i'm talking more money than i ever seen 
now that big booty bitch claiming billie jean
n come to find out she only four teen 
 saying i'm the one, yea it gotta be you  
then it all faded from my point of view

Well, this was oddly satisfying lol. In terms of technique it's not amazing but damn, I loved the story lol. The first verse is something I haven't seen or heard before, so you get props for that. Usually it's people talking about their kids when they're newborn up until they're like 8 years old. So yeah, I liked this.

Flow was smooth throughout, I just didn't follow the transition in the middle of the first verse.
This section:

I see what you did, but I'm not able to replicate it. Unless you say "rap-per" like "rap-peer". Then it would work I guess.

The second verse was a lot more solid regarding flow and you made me laugh. Especially the line where you described the girl. I always spit the most retarded freestyles to my girlfriend and they usually contain that type of shit. And then I wonder why she doesn't wanna listen to my verses lol.

Overall: This was basic, yes... But the stories in both verses were well done, the flow (for the most part) was smooth and enjoyable and you gave me that Warren G kinda vibe. So I like.

thanks for the feed bro and yea haha the part in the first verse was a flow thing i didnt know how to really write it out, tho i knew just simply reading the words it would be off beat its how i say it that makes it work by slowing down and picking up the speed of some words.  i should mention that both stories evolve around the same girl for example the "rap-per" i mention in the first verse is the perspective i'm speaking from in the 2nd verse. Also id like to work on making drops less basic just not to sure how to or what i could do to be better any suggestions for that would be appreciated too

Oh of course! Should've picked that up earlier, ha. As for complexity: the best bet is starting out with multiple syllable rhyming. You had that a couple of times during the verse, so the start is there. Just don't try to overdo it. Sometimes a multi will come over as forced and ruins the flow and content of the line.

We actually have a really good guide here on LA. Check out the dedicated section for an in depth breakdown.
