damn that hits heavy i like it. i think the lead synth is a bit overwhelming in spots and that you could take the 808 out of the build so it hits harder in the drop.

Thanks for the feedback! I will definitely take that 808 out of the build you are right!

the 808 decays too fast -  throw a saturator on it so that it has harmonics. especially ableton's saturator - set it to sinoid fold (if i recall) and turn up the base knob by the slightest.

using a sample would be better. try the 808s in the TriSamples 808 Trapstep pack.

sidechain the trap lead. it's extremely nasal so i would try pitching it an octave down.

throw a vocoder on it. it works wonders.

i would put a hall 1.5s delay on it with maybe 159-200ms predelay. compress the reverb with it to get greater presence.

You can certainly do wonders with that lead if it has the right structure around it!

Right now I'd have to say it falls kind of flat since it's hard to tell which part of the song is which. Look up some song trap song structure and how a trap song generically sounds and try to follow it, some things which may seem very boring (increasing tempo+pitch on different elements leading up to a drop and so forth), but it really has it's effect.

Song could become really nice if you put down the effort into it!

I would write something here, but I'm too lazy to do so

I'd add some more punchy-ness to the kick.

I agree with the kick needing more punch, and I also suggest adding some more high end reverby synth stuff in the high ends while that catchy drop plays, just make sure its not too much cus I always make that mistake in my tracks. But this is a good start, keep it up!
