1. Inspiration is everywhere
2. Take care of a natural flow
3. Listen to different songs and try to copy various flows. You'll improve as you have to constantly change your writing so that it fits the flow.
4. Practice, practice, practice and fun.

Homie, you just trying to improve your writing? How long have have you been rapping for? Anyways I don't really think there's a such thing as "great lyrics", it's all subjective. Some people think DOOM is gods gift to rap, and some people think Soulja Boy is gods gift to rap.

First of all, more multies/syllables/metaphors/internals/etc doesn't equate to a good lyricist, yes it does impress, but a truly great lyricist can do any amount of that while having incredible flow and delivery. What's the point of complicating lyrics if you can't convey it properly/sacrifice flow? Although you still want to keep from doing basic rhymes like cat and hat after every line. Yup, lyrics are a tricky subject.

The only thing I can say is to write, practice, write, practice, and write everyday. Eventually you'll have gone through so many crappy lyrics that you'll have nothing left to write about except for greatness. Example (not a good one but meh), after writing everyday, I'm slowly finding myself trying to rhyme things I said before in a different way/look for other ways to say it, see what I mean? This leads to more creative lyrics rather than bland straightforward ones (that some people really enjoy).

Looking at what you think are great lyricist and analyzing them is a good thing to do as well, but do more than one, diversify yourself my dude.

To be honest though, that's just icing on the cake. You know how many mainstream rtists say bull but are so well received because of their cadence and delivery? Yeah I know, you want to become great, but you'll get there in a few years I'm sure.

I write a lot lol
