Full Song Lyrics
Verbal D
Verse 1:
God, please humble me
Don't sting like a bumble bee
My ears ring from the rumbling
I stand again even though I keep stumbling
It seems these walls and these floors keep crumbling
I can’t speak right, as though I keep mumbling
I try to shake it, but my body keeps tumbling
Can’t think straight, my thoughts keep jumbling
I’m hungry for the truth, my curiosity is grumbling
I spit these words to keep shuffling
Hear me out now, my voice, it keeps muffling
A bird's eye, ever-ready, steady keep summoning
Peace and happiness, although my problems keep bundling
Tryna catch flight, my body starts shuttling
I cut the wind sharp, so the air starts muttering
Tryna see the light, though them curtains keep fluttering
My life is in my hands, but I can’t keep fumblin'...
Edgar Miranda
Chorus 1:
Now that I have looked up to the sky
I see us together, I can’t lie
Maybe thinking love is
What makes life seem something more
That I can’t explain, in mind
Verbal D
Verse 2:
Always on the move for a life more comforting
Won’t settle for black or white, I need more coloring
Dealing with these scars that I wanna keep covering
Speaking to the beat before my heart starts rupturing
Puttin’ in work when I’m punching in,
Gotta keep on functioning
Even through the puncturing punishments, I be once again
Rising for another day
Keep my head up when I’m fed up,
Tryna find a better way
Life is always beautiful, people call it glamourous
Music tells me nail the beat, and I began to hammer it
Rapping’s getting dangerous, 'cause dealing with my anger it’s
Releasing all my tension and sometimes I cannot anchor it
But I'm only human, does it mean I can excuse it?
With my temper I just lose it, serve me beat and I will chew it
Start the music I will move it, I don’t need someone to cue it
When I'm flowing I am fluid, I just don’t know how I do it
Edgar Miranda
Chorus 2:
Now that I have looked up to the sky
I see us together, I can’t lie
Maybe thinking love is
What makes life seem something more
That I can’t explain, in mind
Verbal D
Verse 3:
I'm searching for some answers and I wanna yell out there it is
Wanna know my story? I can’t tell without a narrative
I have a life without the need to show comparatives
Can't complain ‘bout what I’ve got or speak upon how fair it is
God has shown me why I live, music is my relative
I be taking deep breaths 'cause I know it’s in the air He gives
Music is my energy, music is my sedative
Possibilities are like creating with a pair of if’s
Music is a passion that I’m cherishing
Me and music take it back beyond our native heritage
Before the time when gladiators rode in chariots
And beautiful is what our marriage is...
We’re still together, past a hater that disparages
Rap to anybody, any hater that embarrasses
Bring it to their terraces, but I’m not a terrorist
Even on their premises, all up inside their crevices
Treat her with respect, she’s my only representative
Farthest from the negative, loving is not preventative
She don't need a diamond ring, buying her all the necklaces
and I will love her closely 'til the day this body perishes
People see me rapping, they say 'Music’s what he relishes
Decorates the world with lyrics, always he embellishes
And for every star that ever fell so fair to wish
That guy has gotta mouthful like a pelican that carries fish…

PS. The beat should have been a bit longer to end with the chorus x2 but I'll release the official recording soon enough.

My very own wonderful gif logo provided to me by the generous and kindhearted @papa-pepper Thanks again very much!
Loved it! When I had read the lyrics in the last post, I was wondering how exactly you'd flow. Feels good to hear it now.
Great work!
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to give this a listen. So glad you loved it, that's a big compliment. Now I must decide what to perform this coming week. Tough decisions to make. The next one might be heavy serious, or lightheartedly upbeat.

This is definitely way better than I imagined! I knew this is going to end up in my top faves, but this has become my fave son of yours by far! Excluding the M.M.M's of course. Wow! From 2009? Talk about way back. It's nice to see how your writing has evolved. When I saw @edgarstudio was involved I just knew that we were in for a treat. Awesome beat and who knew he had pipes on him. Great work, you two! Your collabs are a real highlight.
Thank you so much, anytime any of my newer released hit your favourite's list, I see it as a big compliment because I am always aiming to top my last performance lol, but each song has its own intention, energy and purpose, so they vary of course but the passion and intensity are pretty consistent throughout. Yes, Edgar definitely can sing!, he has wonderful vocals and is a pro with Harmonies and melodies. Collaborating with him is easy and full of creative originality. Thanks for all of your praise, it's always so generous and heartfelt. I might do my 5 part either this week or the next. Still deciding, but it has to be decided quickly. 5 parts means 5 days in a row! lol
Definitely something I'm excited for, bro! You haven't missed the target and I doubt that your five-parter is going to break that trend :D
Yeah, it didn't work out for this week, but when I drop it, I actually need to start practicing it now! lol gotta be polished before steeping before the video camera, especially for a song of this magnitude
Definitely worth the wait for sure, bro! Take your time with it :D
Indeed I shall, thanks bro!
Yeah Mr D ) Loving this one ) so great that you express your spirituality in your texts
" God has shown me why I live, music is my relative
I be taking deep breaths 'cause I know it’s in the air He gives
Music is my energy, music is my sedative
Possibilities are like creating with a pair of if’s "
spot on we think alike man )
upvoted easily, GoodLuck to you Brother ) Steem On Old Man Gomer !!
Thank you so much brother VibZ, you are also on the same wavelength as me, this is my favourite section of all the verses. I am glad you shared this with me bro, best of success to you as well! Steem on
I did actually listen to this the other day, and loved it, but my internet was being a jerk and I couldn't get my comment to post. I have yet to see what else you got up though, so I will be checking those out :)
I'm so glad you loved the song my friend. thank you for always lending your ears and thoughts. I think it is time to feed your internet to the wolves lol
