first off, welcome to text. I can tell you're new because this whole verse reads like a live battle. its not necessarily a bad thing, but there's a pretty significant distinction. basically, the standard battle formula is 'setup related to punch'-'punchline containing flip'. here, you had a flip in scratch like a dog with flees, but the way it was set up was poor - it was entirely unrelated and addressed your opponent in the second person while your punch was in the third. little technical things like that can take a lot away from bar. the concept here was incredibly basic and would need either an added layer of complexity or to be worded incredibly well to hit. a basic tip for wording is to think of it like a joke - the 'flip' is the wordplay that its centered around and its more effective when placed at the end. so something like
beat me? no chance. this lames got the wrong steez
i'll scratch off this pest w/out thinkin bout it like a dog with fleas
notice how:
-the first line is focused on setting up the punch
-the punchline has an added layer of complexity ('without thinkin bout it' which is weak but keyed)
-the flip is placed more effectively
So this L cuts deep...im out to hurt feeling pinching nerves aint enough...
Cut down the beef godda diet to die for .. you lunch
the beef/food connection is incredibly played - and you basically did everything that the first bar was lacking
So sad its tragic...picture me losing to this faggot...

Nev - basically the entire verse was the same. in general, it seems like youre wording like you would a verse, which isnt bad but it basically means theres a lot of unused space - to really do some damage you need to do expand on concepts a lot, whereas your whole style was kind of basic. you have a grasp on it, but theres plenty of fine tuning and that comes with reading good battles and time/practice.
also watch out for little thingslike how in the first bar, first line you're addressing him in 3rd person. second line youre in second. things like that can take away from a punch.
but yeah, nev had a much clearer grasp on how to do text, so he was able to do more damage.
