Full Song Lyrics
Verbal D
Verse 1:
This is God's world and I'm a citizen
I stand for truth but I sit in sin
My bible's a lot to read, I wonder when I'm finishing
But I know it's my soul I'm replenishing
It's not always a hit and win
But I can't get hooked gotta watch what I'm fishing in
It's not always hell I'm envisioning
But if I do it's a fiery imprisonment
I have a judgement, so what's my sentencing?
Is it worse than Mortal Kombat's finishings?
Thrown inside a volcanic fire kindling?
Knowing that it burns forever, never dwindling.
Can't plan escape or shake these chains hindering.
I cannot fathom or picture this, these images
I'll find a breakthrough point, lines of scrimmages
Cause when I think of these rhymes, mind's limitless
I'm apart of something bigger than me, God's appendages
Made from the dust in the land, I am indigenous
Dear Son of The Father of great parentage
Will I make it to heaven? What's the percentages?
Born as a sinner, never truly had innocence
Christ rebuild my life, that's assemblage
Guide my path without so many wreckages.
Make my mind the definition of what vintage is
A man of understanding over standing all his differences…
Then I hope you're willing to accept me through your heritage
I accept you, no longer am I a heretic
A vessel of God like a pod with no rhetoric
Rotating the Word just like a chariot…
Entering a spiritual battle until I'm perishing...

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 $1836 and .76 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.

yep, head bobbing here for sure :) another strong entry, I do admire your consistent effort.
Thank you very much my friend, I always appreciate your feedback and encouraging comments. I try to keep the rhythm sharp :)
Oh, man, I totally did not expect that! That unorthodox beat really tied everything together. I didn't think this was a head bobber when I read parts 1 and 2, but it definitely is. This has quicly risen to be one of my all-time favorites of yours, and that completely caught me off-guard. I am speechless. You keep one-upping yourself, brother. A sign of inherent greatness!
Thank you very much bro, I am always surprised by how much you are surprised by my music lol It's pretty funny to me but I'm glad you enjoy the different approaches I embark upon. However the beat sounds, I just try and compliment it as best as I can and become meshed into the music and drive it forward, appreciate your uplifting words!
You always come up with surprising stuff, is why! Often times, artists come up with a brand that people identify them with. The advantage is familiarity, and the disadvantage is monotony. Your brand is fueled by your passion and your love for the craft, that's why I believe that you will never be stagnant :D
I refuse to become stagnant, boring and predictable bro. I really push my brain to explore and expand on similar topics because I know there are levels and depths of details to the same topic. Thanks so much for acknowledging my persevering and driven efforts
Dude! Very awesome. I really like your flow and loving the positive vibes. I'm an artist as well so you should reach out if you ever wanted to collab I think we would mesh well!
Thank you very much for your feedback, encouraging kind comments and interest. I am always open to collabs, especially with a positive vibe. The message is indeed important in my music. I'll check out your page and see if you have posted any music to hear your style and approach :)
Here is one you might like
Clean and positive hiphop.
Thanks for sharing your music, I just listened and I think your rapping isn't bad at all, maybe a bit more conviction and emphasis on your delivery, cadence and flow but I dig the message and stand by the positive energy for sure. Your singing needs some work but you can strengthen that area with practice and learning technique.Overall nice chill music video. If you have original beats I can listen to, we can talk on steemit.chat and go over some things together in regards to a collab if you're interested.
solid flow @verbal-d! this is my first chance to hear you rap, this is tight dude
Oh thanks really? I've been doing open mic every week. you should hear week 33 Haven, it's one of my favorite songs to perform, I appreciate you reaching out and giving my music a listen, most grateful indeed bro
wooooo yes yes @verbal-d is in the house all smooth
thanks for the gracious praise as always my friend, I do my best, I'm glad it is well received
Amazing! thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for listening, I truly appreciate it!
Oooo I'm diggin' that piano loop. This one has a real strong tone to it man, sort of "conscious," dialogue as well! I'd love to see a performance of you doing your thing over top a live band! I just saw Oddisee yesterday night. Sort of similar vibe going on in this track to some of his material.
Nice thanks for the feedback bro, I love performing with a live band, I definitely prefer mic checks beforehand, there have been many live performances where the sound engineer just did not know how to balance out the sound, not sure if it was lack of knowledge or limited equipment, but that definitely affects the overall presentation. That piano loop is indeed so catchy, appreciate you listening
