critique this verse for me?
Not sure if I should continue with it or leave it at that. I'm new to rapping and songwriting still so I know it's probably not good, I'm just trying to get better.
Whats self control if youre not free
Whats a freedom if the cops see
What do I got if they got me
Well **** I wish they just shot me
But they hit me with charges like its hockey
So I hit mics with hooks call me rocky
Goin uphill from rock bottom don’t stop me
Growin up quick I’m speedin don’t clock me
It’s just not your time yet got a curfew
It’s not the cops but the law that’s gonna hurt you
So seek legal advice but lawyers are pay per view
They found an 1/8 now it’s vice versus virtue
Gimme community service hours to work through
I guess everything worked out the way it’s supposed to
My dream is far from the reality Im close to
Prepare to sink if life is something you coast through
Im not askin for liberty or death
Just a second for me to catch my breath
It seems im headed to court every right and left
And if I have to sell my soul for salvation
Then please give satan my salutation
All this from a traffic violation
No mercy its annihilation
Sittin on the curb yes I’m there again
Hearin my rights as an American
People stare as they pass but I bear and grin
I’ll get back up, just don’t know where and when
Solid advice, thanks both of you.

Honestly this isn't bad. I have a few specific points of advice. Raps are most pleasing to the listener when the rapper has multisyllabic rhymes (you have a decent amount of 2 syllable rhymes) and a complex rhyme pattern (you have mostly the same style of end rhymes in each line). Try expanding on the syllables you are rhyming and try including some internal rhymes on top of just end rhymes. Also, your subject matter is, at times, cliche, which there is really no excuse for. But honestly this is decent for someone who just started, so keep it up. If you want some help writing verses, check out my page: http://fiverr.com/users/kgilmore465/gigs/write-a-g... and I'll show you how to put some of these techniques I've been talking about into a really dope rap verse. You won't be disappointed.

I believe you are pretty good for songwriting, except you seem to be trying to hard with the rhyming just let it flow together. You don't have to rhyme in every verse.
If this helps try to think outside the box.

Keep doin' ya factor - scorching quotables come from folks who rap approximately what is truly - be certain you pair your rhymes with a bangin beat and give them such as you suppose them. By the best way, do not reply to the detest - upward thrust above it.
