Beat "The Opus" Produced by Verbal D

Verse 1 & 2 Written, Created & Performed by Verbal D

Full Song Lyrics:

Verbal D
Verse 1:
He writes his rhymes in a darkened apartment.
Tryna shed light but hesitatin’ to spark it.
His dull lines off beat, and even slows time
But he won’t cry ‘cause he’s hoping that he will sharpen.

He practices at work, out loud in his office
The desk phone’s ringing as he forwards the call list
Rappin’ five hours straight, exhausted and coughin’
He’s reaching for a dream, before his time in a coffin

I told him, It’s hard kid,
Living life flawless
Speaking heavy bars that’ll leave your mouth jawless
Don’t go in it heartless
You gotta keep your brain moving forward
Even when you reach the border, no parkin’

And if your game stop, you can hit the switch off
Go pull your heart out, and blow into it like a cartridge
Only way you lose is when you end up as Departed
How many of them beats rest in peace, when your barz hit?

Verse 2
What you leave behind? I’m building up a legacy
I’m never sidetracked, thinking ‘bout where all the ladies be
Always on my hunt, tryna catch up on the latest beats
Pourin’ out my heart and soul, even when they hatin’ me

Yeah I’m speaking blatantly, They won’t even face the heat
I make ‘em uncomfortable, that is why they’re changing seats
Another undiscovered talent, I don’t need an agency
Tell me who I’m rappin’ to, no matter what their ages be

Tell me what I’m rappin’ about? Never have your chains on me
There’s a Martin King in me, I’m standing tall and you can see
No matter what the circumstance, apart from you, I know I’m free
Ladder is my only chance, delivering the potency

Feel like I am raking leaves, yard work is hard work
Rapping ‘round the tree of life, seein’ who will fall first
Game will never start to stop until I make the ball burst
There’s no Chorus needed, ‘cause I bring it to you all verse

Can I get cashed out, for what it’s all worth?
This beat is sick man, I think I need to call nurse.
Chew the beat apart like a pack of starburst
No pain, no gain, do it ‘til my jaws hurt

I’m not leaving, got my roots up in the raw earth
Haters stay grimy, I pull ‘em and they claw dirt
Snatched the game like a small purse
The way Hip Hop died, after it saw birth…
