Open Mic Night Wk 21 Entry: No Defeat Part 3 (Original Song)

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

Here is Part 3, the final installment as promised. Please enjoy the musical ride and let me know what you guys think. Best of luck to everyone else's entries. Side Note: Chorus is written with Harmonies in mind and I have no idea how to record multiple videos and splice it together to harmonize my voice for this entry so the raw uncut solo voice is what you get for now, but the recorded version I have, which is unreleased, sounds really solid so far.

Full Song Lyrics and Due Credits provided below.

Full Song Lyrics

Verbal D
Chorus:
No Defeat
We can't afford to lose this battle now
So who gon' stop us?
We accept no losses! (x2)

Verbal D
Verse 1:
So many people still praying up for my downfall
They're having meetings, plotting, scheming in the townhall
They're tryna hit me up, hunting like Outlaws
But they'll be way off hitting target, like a foul ball

No weapon formed against me's ever gonna prosper
So it doesn't matter from assassins to a mobster
From principalities, entities from their roster
God and Jesus Christ gon' protect me from any monster

The pen is sharper than the sword, and I'm an author
But with The Word being my sword…then I can slaughter
All of the deceitful unequaled evil that alters
And steady bring the strongest of love, that our life can offer

I'm only human and flesh, but put my spirit to test
And you gon' see that I'm blessed, when I confront and address
Any powers that devour any coward oppressed
Rebuke 'em with finesse, a given success

Verbal D
Chorus:
No Defeat
We can't afford to lose this battle now
So who gon' stop us?
We accept no losses! (x2)

Verbal D
Verse 2:
I may have come from dust, but I am that no longer
Fueled by His godly spirit I am more than stronger
With His authority I conquer as my soul begins to ponder
Baby Jesus in the manger, never sell your soul to mongers

With gift of everlasting life, you'll never be a goner
Dreaming of the heaven near The Father way up yonder
The Son is yet the only way, so don't you ever wander
Or else your chances are squandered, by everything that is conjured

Who's gonna stop us?
No demons or any goddess.
False idols waltz out my life, won't dance with Devil, hell's the hottest
He may control the game for a time, but I'm not a novice
I stay cautious in the pocket, weaving through with a holy promise

Repel the lawless, I'm a wise council artist
I refuse to be a zombie, a carcass, body so heartless
I am here to lift you up, strap in my lyrical harness
Fighting off all the darkness, while prepping for God's harvest!

Verbal D
Chorus:
No Defeat
We can't afford to lose this battle now
So who gon' stop us?
We accept no losses! (x2)

Thank you very much bro. I'm glad you chose that line in particular, that was one of my favorite lines to write when I was ending the final verse. It just worked really well. I am happy this music uplifts you spiritually. We fight evil with good everyday. Sharing the gospel is what God expects me to do, so I gotta keep pushing forward since He gave me the gift of music.

For a new gospel beat, check out my newest post "Ethereal Presence", hope you enjoy that one as well bro. God bless

Hey bro, I'm glad you did too! Thank you very much for the comment, much love indeed. I think you will also enjoy my newest Melodious Music Memoir "Ethereal Presence" which I just posted now, also gospel related but it is an instrumental.

Update: I'm currently working on that song you have requested, and it is coming along nicely, I hope to have it mapped out soon, I'm glad you suggested it as it is indeed very important to raise awareness of the evils occurring in this sick and cold world that the devil rules temporarily.

I'll continue to keep you in the loop about that song and will notify you when I post it! God bless and thanks again for the donation, I plan to fulfill my thanking you with that song.

Very nice! Upvoted! Get a DAW installed (some free ones) and a good Mic setup. Would love to hear some harmonies laid down in a mix. Sure you would get some quick public recognition with a good mixdown of your awesome work. Good stuff!

I thought I had commented on this! This one takes charge. Sometimes you ride the beat like a wave, and sometimes you get on top of the wave and ride it all the way into shore. You just accomplished the second sir. Congrats last week, man.

verbal-d (71) 7 years ago

Thank you so much bro, this song definitely had the intention to take charge and grab the mark of the beast by the horns. I really really enjoyed the analogy that you used, it was very cool and had me imagining a pro surfer in their prime spitting bars over their favorite beat while they spread the biggest waves and surmounting the top and gliding to shore to victory. Cool imagery for sure. I appreciate the congrats as well, I have been pressed for time, I'll definitely make sure to check out your entry for wk 21 and comment to you and everyone else. Thanks again

OH, MAN! My missing of this is completely unforgiveable. To think, you even gave me a shoutout here, complete with correct pronunciation, too! :'( I'm really not sure how I could've missed this! I commented on parts 1 and 2, and I'm always on the lookout for part 3! I must've gone through some major life thing that prevented me from going online. Last month has been a bit turbulent, so I attribute it to that.

I really need to establish a stricter protocol in terms of checking posts of my close friends so I don't lose track of any one. Maybe I could write a small script that emails me whenever you guys put up a post.

As for my thoughts regarding the song, WOW! When I commented that this was a rallying cry, I never thought it would turn out like this. This turned out to be one of your catchier songs that makes my head bob uncontrollably. And, Lord knows you've amassed quite a lot already. You're really making this into a new art form! Your silky smooth vocals really carried this. Heck, as I write, I keep humming "Noooo defeeeeat". This is one of those songs that you play in your head before you play a big match or a championship.

Magnificent work, brother! And, I'm not saying this because we've really gone close these past months, but this comment truly is coming straight from the heart of a fan :D

Oh wow, I could have sworn you commented on this one. And I'm so glad you loved it! It definitely is a battle war cry spiritually and is good for any preparation of battle, even for Ledd and "The Great War" of his ancestors :)

And yeah, I'm glad that turbulent month is over for you bro. That would be cool, but you would get almost an email from me nearly everyday since I post pretty consistently. I'm still working towards my goal to flying out to USA so everything helps.

But yeah I appreciate the feedback and support always bro, I'll keep bringing out new songs for you to enjoy and PS, this wasn't the song I was referring to. I was actually talking about "THE STEEMIT SONG" which can be found on my brother's page @sirwinchester, as he helped me film and post it when i had first joined steemit. I wanted to be the first to make The Steemit Song, and it was nominated to be played at the first Steemfest but never came to fruition. If you have never listened to it, when you get a chance, please put some headphones on, peep the lyrics, I would love to record that one professionally soon, especially now that Steemit is one year old. This was back when Steem was worth a dollar I believe. I pray the price raises up to help both you me dreemit and Zepp.

even for Ledd and "The Great War" of his ancestors :)

I was thinking about the same thing! Will definitely post this in a later chapter where this fits ;) No spoilers though!

I'm still working towards my goal to flying out to USA so everything helps.

I know it's not a lot, but I transferred an additional 25 STEEM your way yesterday to make my contribution an even 50 for your trip. When STEEM rises, that would be worth more. With the way you're going, I'm sure you're not far from your goal. I've been keeping up with your tally, and I hope one day that you strike big and a generous whale would put you over the top.

this wasn't the song I was referring to

Shoot! My bad! I checked @dreemit 3-month recap and I saw the link there, I thought it was it. It's such a great coincidence though!! Out of all the songs that I've kept up with ever since we became friends, I was linked to the one song that I accidentally missed! That's fate and destiny at work, my bro.

I haven't seen or heard The Steemit Song before, but I'm viewing it now. My comments on it after the jump.

The ambient noise and the distortion really took away some thunder, but otherwise it was a very intense throwdown. I'm sure that the quality would improve once you re-record this professionally. It's interesting to see your take on it after experiencing Steemit for more months after. @sirwinchester's camera work was impressive, and it really added to the experience. You should definitely have someone filming you for your submissions as it definitely adds a dynamic effect when viewing.
