Full Song Lyrics
Verbal D
Chorus:
There’s a place where I can go
Where water always flows
And the food is never cold
Love is plentiful
Climb the tops of every cloud
Place that never crowds
Don’t know of my whereabouts
Can’t find it, word of mouth, give it up
Verbal D
Verse 1:
People, they want to know where I have been
Yeah, So this what I tell em-
Use your imagination, your Cerebellum
Keep it under my tongue
Just below my frenulum
A place that gives me peace
With nobody who is nettlesome
Nothing but time
So my tempo be the pendulum
It’s hard on the ears
Like the beat of a metal drum
Keeps me out of trouble
But my rhymes still meddlesome
Giving out my love,
Through the music I will send you some
‘Cause I’m in a secret location
I’m in between the lines of this music notation
Sink into my thoughts, leave behind the flotation
It’s got me in a spin, whirlpool in rotation
If you ever saw this place, any home it could replace
Creator of this land needs a standing ovation
Verbal D
Chorus:
There’s a place where I could go
Water always flows
And the food is never cold
Love is plentiful
Climb the tops of every cloud
A place that never crowds
Don’t know of my whereabouts
Can’t find it, word of mouth, so give it up
Verbal D
Verse 2:
I found a new spot,
‘Cause I was feeling out of place,
This love has made me blind
So I’m feeling out her face
When she’s gone, I am gone
Like I’ve been in outer space
It’s Very dusty on the moon
It’s gotta glitter, powder base
Go at any speed
It’s always been about her pace
Working sweet rhythms
Never give her sour face
She’s strong and fearless
Never gives a coward chase
She always lifts me up
‘Cause she’s in a power state
Her pics are…
More animated than Pixar
I love you, Miss Music
Let me pick up this guitar
This feeling is bizarre
‘Cause I am into ya
Like I’m in India
I pick up this sitar
Never take me out your life
Don’t wanna get disbarred
I see us in the future
So I wanna get this far
Only moving forward
You can catch me a Windstar
We’re blowing in the breeze
Silky smoke of a cigar
So feel it!
Verbal D
Chorus:
There’s a place where I could go
Where water always flows
And the food is never cold
Love is plentiful
Climb the tops of every cloud
A place that never crowds
Don’t know of my whereabouts
Can’t find it, word of mouth
Verbal D
Verse 3:
This place that I speak about
Ain’t something you read about
Finding it is difficult
Trust me, you gon’ need a route
Honor my word
Most definitely gonna need a scout
It’s invitation only
So the people gonna scream and shout
Yeah the truth hurts,
Doesn’t mean you gotta bleed it out
Cracks on the sidewalks
Eventually a weed’ll sprout
But we’re devout,
Me and Miss Music are
Bringing freshwater flows
So drift, row and eat a trout
Swimming through the currents
of this sapphire
Love be burning up like rubber ends of a black tire
We stay connected through them audio black wires,
‘Cause misery’s a joke and we laugh at this satire
It’s here I can escape,
Where Eve and Adam ate
If this is heaven, I’ll be here to man the gates.
Shout out to my roots in the Bay like Mandalay
This is true happiness, it’s here I plan to stay, stay, stay
Verbal D
Chorus:
There’s a place where I could go
Where water always flows
And the food is never cold
Love is plentiful
Climb the tops of every cloud
A place that never crowds
Don’t know of my whereabouts
Can’t find it, word of mouth
People, they want to know where I have been
Yeah

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 $1825 and .85 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.

My very own wonderful gif logo provided to me by the generous and kindhearted @papa-pepper Thanks again very much!
love the latin tinge to this. From the <3 as usual - peace and blessings to you.
Thanks so much bro, appreciate you taking time out to listen, peace and blessings to you as well
Sweet! Your consistency amazes me.
Can't slip up now with all this momentum built up! Looking forward to every week bro, I'm pushing myself to see how far I can go. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and do an open mic post before the deadline when I accidentally fall asleep out of sheer exhaustion lol I'll probably write a post about it soon
How cool is that? When I used to write songs for a living my father once asked me what inspired me to write so much and the honest answer was deadlines.
Not what he expected to hear but having a deadline when a song must be completed by made the song get finished.
Lol I can completely relate to this, deadlines for sure help boost the writing and execution process but I'm non stop writing and creating constantly because that's what I do,
I'm bound to stumble upon something significantly impacting and inspiring by he sheer volume of practice, forced or relaxed. We can truly only improve as long as we don't let up the pressure for too long, it's good to rest up, but I don't want to get complacent anytime soon and the Open Mic Contest is helping me keep track of how many songs I actually have created :)
Thanks again for starting it up and keeping it going
Killed it homie! Not many people can sing like that and spit. Keep it up. Upvoted!
Thank you very much bro, that's a very generous, humbling and kind compliment. I shall definitely keep it up. I appreciate your continued support
And I'm right.. ANOTHER CLASSIC. You weren't kidding when you said the music is going to knock my socks off. Sick beat! My head kept bobbing the whole time. This might even be your most head bobbing rhyme to date, brother! I really like your execution on this one. You never miss a single step, bro :D
Yeah I have a funny backstory on posting this particular Youtube video, I have to write that up for tomorrow for sure! This is one of my all time favorite beats EVER, and it's definitely a sick beat, J Dilla is too skillful with producing. Thanks for giving this a listen bro, your support is highly valued
Awesome! Excited to read what the backstory behind it is, brother.

Yeah the truth hurts, Doesn’t mean you gotta bleed it out Cracks on the sidewalks Eventually a weed’ll sprout
Even though you've made me into more of a fan of rap music, I love when I get to hear your beautiful voice in the chorus :) Awesome my friend :)
Thank you so much my dear friend. I enjoy singing almost equally or a slightly bit more on my good days. Also big thanks for the SBD, maybe i'll end up in the east coast soon to visit my aunts in NJ so anything is possible, I also have a musician friend and brother in the faith in NY, it would be great to meet you :)
