Multiple-syllable structure. For example, if I rhyme car, far, tar, bar - those are just single syllable rhymes. If I rhyme you all, to fall, through ball - those are double syllable rhymes. If I rhyme I'm not done, Time's all one, mind's dull from - those are triple syllable rhymes. You can go up to as many syllables as you can handle. It also works with single words that have many syllables (say the word in-di-vid-u-al-i-ty - 7 syllables), and rhyme them multiple short-syllable words (in-this-did-you-fal -la-cy). Work on your multis - a good lyricist gets his structure down. After you get good at multis, you can start alchemic/poetic metaphor wordplay.

Poetic wordplay would be using multiple definitions to analogous metaphors. For example, when I say the rhyme "I duel for sport, like ruling the court", I could be talking about a basketball game, or a swordfight in a kingdom - the interpretation is up to the reader, and/or how you word it.

When you get good at structure, and wordplay, THEN you can start to build segregation of topic throughout the structure, instead of just randomly going from rhyme to rhyme. If you get good at this, a new meaning can be found every time someone reads your rhyme, no matter how many times they read it. Also, another sign of this, is if you can end your rhyme, and make it analogous to how it begins, and worked all throughout it's lineage. Don't just go from rhyme-to-rhyme, and lose topic - keep focus on what you're delivering, because mastering the order of your topics is what awes a crowd. Instead of a winding river that's viewed as rushing twists, and turns from a distance, make your language like a puddle that gathers the ripple effects of rain dropping - in other words, a web of your personal beliefs, or spirituality. Those often tend to motivate the lyricist the most - what they truly believe, and defend.

If you get good at multis, poetics, and topics, you'll be well on your way to finding the placement of the rest of your talent throughout your rhymes. I hope this helps!
