Id like to learn how to use proper structures in my raps, how to build a good story, etc. is there anywhere I can go to learn these things? (preferably free). Or is this stuff I need to teach myself? The hard headed never learn.
Write stuff and show people ask them what they think. I just started writing like last month and I think it has improved. There's no magic formula or anything you just have to try. Or at least that's how I see it correct me if I'm wrong.

Do not go on websites to learn how to rap if you are a super amature. Start rapping for a little bit on your own get good at a simple flow then you can experiment with others, if you learn about different flows and styles all at the same time then when you spit you will be all over the place
the best way is listen to the classics, nas-illmatic, wu tang, mobb deep-infamous, eminem-sslp etc listen to how they structure the songs, when they take breaths and their flows. then just start writing yourself and you will improve
Ive been freestyling and writing a lot. The hardest part for me is finding words to use. Any suggestions on how I could expand my vocab and remember those words for when im freestyling?
