Open Mic Night Wk 17 Entry: What Could Go Wrong? (Original Song)

verbal-d (71)in #openmic • 7 years ago (edited)

I believe this to be one of my first story raps ever, if not my very first story rap. I hope you all enjoy it for what it's worth, I had a lot of fun with this one 8 years ago. It's amazing how far I've progressed and improved in my passionate music career. Please forgive me rapping over my own vocals, very ironic that I had to do so for this video because I couldn't find the beat. Emcees/Rappers, do not rap over your own vocals without a valid excuse! lol Live performance over studio any day.

Full Song Lyrics and Due Credits provided below.

Verses 1 & 2 & 3 Written, Created & Performed by Verbal D

Full Song Lyrics:

Verbal D
Verse 1:
Just waking up, it’s such a beautiful day
So I pull up the blinds and let the sun hit face
Got my girl on my mind and just for the occasion
I’m feeling romantic, gonna show my dedication
Just for the hell of it, tryin to be considerate
Illiterate, ‘cause you can’t read me a little bit
Randomly practicing acts of kindness
I used to be fighter but I cut the violence
Quick to get fresh as I hopped in the shower
In less than an hour
I’ve got her flowers
Bouquets so tall, they over Tower
Pisa
Devour me a slice of pizza
Jump in the whip and roll down the block
Radio’s bumping old school hip hop
I cross an intersection after passing a cop
Then a truck hits me from a Hollywood stop, man…

Verbal D
Chorus:
It’s A Beautiful Day
In A Beautiful World
Gotta Smile On My Face
Gotta Beautiful Girl
So Glad I Woke Up Today
What Could Go Wrong?

Verbal D
Verse 2:
I blacked out after all the hyperventilating
There were voices in my head I didn’t know what they were saying
Now looking down on the ground, there he was laying
His body all twisted, blending in with the pavement
Towed my car to the shop
Had a homie pick me up but I still had to drop
Off these flowers in my hand
Didn’t want her waiting on her man
So I called her up and started making some plans
But every time I talked in the background
I heard something else other than her voice Man, What was that sound?
She said it was the TV, please believe me
I’m busy this evening, please forgive me
I was about ask a question but I lost the call
I looked at the phone but it wasn’t me at all
I had full reception, now she got me second guessing and
I tried to call back but I had to leave a message like

Verbal D
Chorus:
It’s A Beautiful Day
In A Beautiful World
Gotta Smile On My Face
Gotta Beautiful Girl
So Glad I Woke Up Today
What Could Go Wrong?

Verbal D
Verse 3:
I drove to her house and I walked right in
The front door closed quietly behind me then
I, realized in the corner of my eye
A black leather jacket that was hung up high
I took it off the hook and looked in the pockets
I found a gold chain with a heart-shaped locket

“It said for every star in the blue night sky
I will love you always until all the lights die”

I snuck upstairs, left the jacket on the floor
Slid my feet right up to her bedroom door
I grit my teeth as I heard the bed squeaking
Who would ever think my girl would start cheating?
Just hoping that she would be watching pornos
Swung the door open, saw their legs and elbows
They ran for their clothes, and the image was blinding
The last thing I saw was my best friend hiding…damn

Verbal D
Chorus:
It’s A Beautiful Day
In A Beautiful World
Gotta Smile On My Face
Gotta Beautiful Girl
So Glad I Woke Up Today
What Could Go Wrong?

Wow man your voice is amazing, I've always been enjoying your rapping but I hadn't heard your singing voice just stunning.

Thank you so very much my friend, I am so happy you enjoyed my singing voice, I have many other songs with me singing if you scroll up above those links and do some browsing, you might enjoy Change The World, The Steemit Song, Statements and so much more. I also love songs that tell a story, I think next week I will release another original story song for next week's open mic contest since I got so much love and positive reception today :) I'm grateful and humbled by your response.

No worries at all, I just went and listened to the songs you recommended and you're right I really enjoyed them especially change the world.

It was really beautiful, your voice has an amazing harmonic tone quality to it - and I found myself singing along by the end.

To me that's a pretty huge kudos to you, as it's rare for me to enjoy a song enough to sing along to it on a first hear through.

I can't wait to hear more from you, good luck in this weeks comp your entry is fantastic!

It's easy to see you love your music, the songs are always so polished.

Thanks so much I did Waltzing Matilda this week as it's an Aussie Bush Ballad and yesterday was Australia Day so it felt fitting.

It's a really beautiful song written in the late 1800's by an Australian Bush Poet, tells a tragic tale of a swagman - commonly referred to as our unofficial national anthem.

But still the other entries are phenomenal this week I am also really loving @soundlegion's entry, shit is getting real lol.

I actually thought this was really good... Could listen to it twice. At least. Yes, I'ma little surprised as I think your raps tend to be of a slightly different taste than mine, but hey this is a really good piece and a nice melody too. =)

Liked from the Busy platform!

verbal-d (71) 7 years ago

Thank you very much for the in depth comments. I think it is great when emcees have different tastes because if we all sounded the same or similar, it would be more difficult to inspire and surprise one another. I'm glad you thought this was really good, you're very generous with your compliment and I am grateful for it. This is a busy platform indeed, appreciate you checking my post out!

Thanks friend, I appreciate you chiming in. I def have to check out your paranormal series. Something I can completely relate to. I'm glad you loved this one. That's a big compliment.

dreemit (71) 7 years ago

Well I love all of your music actually :) If you like paranormal, you should like this-make sure you start with the prologue (there's a link to it in every chapter) No pressure though, I know all about being busy!

$0.00

[-]

verbal-d (71) 7 years ago

I know i missed your last two novels you're currently working on, you're a busy writer just like me! But i will take time to read the prologue and move on from there into the further chapters because I am so intrigued by the paranormal due to my own experiences throughout my life from childhood until recently, did you ever read the pearlescent poems I had written called Spiritual Awakening part 1, 2 and 3? And thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoy all my music, that's a big compliment.

It was a joke about a superstitious phrase that is used after a question when the asker doesn't want it answered.

What could go wrong?
knock on wood

Since there were three instances in the song I thought it was a funny idea to exaggerate the number as if you owed all the wood around you a good knocking.
