Edgar Miranda & Verbal D
Chorus:
Thank God, I'm no island, I'm no island, I'm no island, no
Thank God, Thank God I'm no island, I'm no island, (oohh Jesus baby)
Edgar Miranda
Verse 1:
Thank you Great God for I am no island
As if I was in the Bahamas when the sun rises
While me and my crew in the studio, we stay shining
Every note taken is like molecules colliding
Mashing every concept as if they were fighting
But really they are all just overly excited
'Cause I’m writing and my pen delighted
I tell it what to write, therefore it is reciting
At the same time D, on the mic cyphering
Touching the community, always remaining righteous
Holding onto the soul, and I am the co-pilot
The key is positivity, can you see the brightness?
The future holds a lot of us, I hope you like it
Anything is possible with a good mindset
Just don’t forget about who matters most in your life
You are your best with your people you are no island…
Edgar Miranda & Verbal D
Chorus:
Thank God, I'm no island, I'm no island, I'm no island, no
Thank God, Thank God I'm no island, I'm no island, (oohh Jesus baby)
Verbal D
Verse 2:
Feel the glory and His vibrance
I'mma story with no violence
I'mma vessel for His blessing
He can use me like appliance
I owe Him my life
He showed me the light
'Cause when I was young
I was victim of defiance
Used my brain instead of my soul
A victim of the science
He brought my heart and soul together
Rhythm of alliance
He rid me of my lying
Gave a bed that I could lie in
God is my main
Like a mane on a lion
I'm a man, not an island
I'm susceptible to my dying
Think a lot about my flaws
Inside my mind when I am trying
To open these closed doors
With all my strength that I am prying
Got pressure on my chest
Can only breathe when I am sighing
Never liked it when I am crying
Still I fight, without me hiding
The way that I can survive
Is through my prayers and my writing
Hope my days will only brighten
There's no nails that I'm biting
I'm ready whenever, whatever
'Cause I’ve got God for my guidance
Edgar Miranda & Verbal D
Chorus:
Thank God, I'm no island, I'm no island, I'm no island, no
Thank God, Thank God I'm no island, I'm no island, (oohh Jesus baby)
Verbal D
Verse 3:
We’re gonna change the world
Let us work in compliance
'Cause the way that God works
Is just purely reliance
If God gives me a vision
I'mma open up my eyelids
God is my contact
I've changed out my eye lens
Let's all make a difference
Whether small or it's giant
I'mma treat you like my brother, sister
Never as a client
We've gotta keep on trying
What we learn, we've got to apply it
Whatever holds you back man
You've got to sacrifice it
Edgar Miranda
Bridge Transition:
Thank you God
For giving me
Music, food, and my family
Without you I’d be nothing
Thank you God, yeah
Edgar Miranda & Verbal D
Chorus:
Thank God, I'm no island, I'm no island, I'm no island, no
Thank God, Thank God I'm no island, I'm no island, (oohh Jesus baby)

Thank you for reading & listening to this post in its entirety, I hope you enjoyed it for what it's worth.
I'll still be continuing accepting donations until I can reach my goal to fly out to america with my children and wife to visit my family as it is very urgent indeed.
I've raised $1763 and .82 cents of Steemit Currency in total from both My Posts and Donations from Steemit Community Members this 2017 forward and $95.00 in US Dollar Donations so far towards my goal of $ 6,000.00 (Six Thousand) US Dollars and will keep everyone updated with every new future post that I submit.
This total amount will not only include donations I've received to the Paypal account I've provided: [email protected], but it will also include the Steemit Currency that I accrue/receive from all of my personal posts starting the 1st of January of 2017 forward calculated after a 48 hour time frame is finished for the payout cycle of each post to avoid miscalculating the fluctuating price of Steemit Currency.

oh man you always impress.

I would love to get an original track from you for this project for steemit.
Thanks so much my friend for your wonderful words, I shall definitely check out this link you have shared with me, much appreciated!
Well done, keep spreading musical positivity!
Thanks so much I appreciate the positivity from you
Always dig your singing brotha. The rap part is where you shine in this one tho. Killed it..
Thanks so much bro, much appreciated, glad you enjoyed it all the way to the fullest. The rap was a quick whiplash style, I haven't performed this one in a couple years for sure.
A1 as always. Fire flows and lyrics
Thank you for the generous compliments bro, I will keep bringing forth new tracks every week, I appreciate you listening, God bless
Getting tough to scroll to the bottom :D
And what a beautiful toughness it is lol, it lets me know how much music I have shared with everyone, and this song was pretty long with all the lyrics, so I understand your concern, appreciate your feedback though, hope you enjoyed the song, if you listened already.
I did but I can't do my elaborate comments now :D see you later but yes it adds up :) great work :) Cheers to and for all the mothers
I'm glad you did, thanks so much, gotta keep pushing forward always, hope you're having an amazing Monday and a new week. Cheers and same to you and your mother, hope it was a blessed weekend
Nice collab with @edgarstudio once again, brother! The smooth flowy beat contrasted well against the lightning-fast rhyming. Lots of conviction and lots of soul. Nothing more you could ask with regard to the topic discussed by the song. Powerful stuff, brother!
Thank you very much, another Thirdpage beat as you can tell, I love cycling through all these beats, and yeah I wrote that verse pretty swiftly with the timing. Without conviction and soul, my music would equate to elevator or waiting music to say the least! Glad you felt the power and intention behind this one bro.
Cool show, love the vibes, keep it up!
Thank you very much, always positive vibes to share, appreciate you listening and your encouragement
Awesome song man. Really like the chill-spiritual chrous. Just listened today and got the chorus stuck in my head. Like the collaboration too! Keep up the great singing/rapping.
Thanks again as always bro, gotta make those catchy ear worm choruses for you to enjoy. Glad we have your approval, it's a beautiful thing. Much appreciated
Great performance as usual. I like that you are showcasing others within your work. Big upvote from Brother B!
Thank you very much Brother B, you know music connects us all universally :) Appreciate you
It's all good my Brother
your video is great. I also checked some others and also your birthday one. I hope you can get the tickets for your flight and meet your family.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I hope so too! Working hard everyday and jumping on opportunities when they arise. Definitely determined and passionate about this life goal for sure. Appreciate your support
