Many times intro’s will be playing just sounds with no drum beats. They generally last 2 or 4 or 8 bars long. Dont be overwhelmed by the extra information about 16 bars and pre-choruses. Intro Some beats have intro’s and some don’t. A bar in a rap verse is the complete section of that 1 2 3 4 count of the beat. Try to aim for trimming down your output to that amount. Generally hip hop beats made by producers will be structured with these pieces in mind. The average song will have 2-3 verses of 16-20 bars each, and 3-4 chorus sections of a variable number of lines.This will act as a kind of strainer-you won't be able to remember the less effective bits, and you'll have to fill in stronger material for what you can't remember. If you're having trouble figuring out what works and what doesn't, try to rewrite the song from memory, without looking at it. Focus on the most memorable lines and images, and cut out everything that doesn't match that theme, that tone, or that story.As you're writing, let everything that wants to come out come out, but then you'll need to scale it back to a workable and efficient set of lyrics.
Bob Dylan's first draft of "Like a Rolling Stone" was 20 pages long and terrible. The song is the first 8-bar grime tune, switching beats every eight bars so that MCs laying down the usual 16-bar verse could rap over two rhythms. Unless you're a world-class rapper who makes magic every time straight off the dome, your first draft of a song won't necessarily be the best.
