Headphones are recommended, press play, scroll down and read or sing/rap along to the lyrics

Couldn't find the instrumental for this song, it is lost in my plethora of music files somewhere, so forgive me for rapping over my own vocals lol That is a Hip Hop No No, but you all know I can perform live just fine on my own. You can let this fun entry slide by to the wayside. :)

Full Song Lyrics and Due Credits provided below.

Full Song Lyrics


Edgar Miranda & Verbal D
Chorus:
Chorus:
Everytime I'm down
I wanna change my life around
Right now, somehow

I'm stuck on earth trying to reach these clouds
My smile, is upside down still I hold my head proud
But I will never give up baby

Verbal D
Verse 1:
We are never giving up
Never giving in
Gotta keep our heads up
And keep our vision
Gotta stay together
Even if we’re distant
Separated, segregated
Even if by inches

Nobody isolated
We build them bridges
We are all related
We are God’s children
So even when we’re down
This life we’re given
Is worth re-climbling
So start your rising

When I’m down
I write to heal men
Write to heal self
I write to heal friends
But there are sometimes I can’t
Type these feelings
But that doesn’t stop
This life I’m living

Dealt with my past
and showed resilience
I never became the people that hurt me I knew then
I’ve Spread out my love
Without resistance
Time for us all
To show our inner brilliance...yeah, yeah

Edgar Miranda & Verbal D
Chorus:
Chorus:
Everytime I'm down
I wanna change my life around
Right now, somehow

I'm stuck on earth trying to reach these clouds
My smile, is upside down still I hold my head proud
But I will never give up baby

Great motivational message and also relatable. Keep it up yo!

Thank you very much. Truly appreciate you giving this a listen bro, much appreciated. I always enjoy when people show their favorite lines, that is one of my favorite sections as well, the ending came out strong. I am glad you can relate to the message, that's wonderful to hear.

No problem bro... You're good with words, and it's a great and powerful gift to have! Because speaking from the heart stops the world from falling apart :)

I do what I can when I can how I can, thank you for your kindness bro. Much wisdom you have shared, what we speak into existence does affect the world immensely, Words have power and the pen is sharper than the sword :)

All I can say is wow wow, I love the words, and the music can't wait until your album comes out I'm a big fan of yours. 🔝

Thank you very much my friend, this one is an oldie but goodie. I appreciate your support and you taking time out to listen to my music. Albums are being prepped as we speak. Making big progress :)

Good work! Never give up! :)

Thank you my friend, I appreciate the re-encouraging comment. It's so easy to give up! But so worth it and rewarding to keep pushing forward through adversity.

Great positive lyrics. You're awesome @verbal-d

Thank you bro for always supporting my music, it means a lot. You're awesome as well, let's keep up the movement


This post got a 4.73 % upvote thanks to @verbal-d - Hail Eris !

inspiring lyrics, nice beat, would love to hear a studio version.

Thank you very much for checking this out, I aim to inspire with my lyrics, I'll be releasing the official version, possibly tomorrow :) My best friend made the beat, @Edgarstudio, feel free to follow him.

Upvote and follow me I ll update follow u thanks @abutaleb265

Word of advice, Robotic responses aren't going to help you get noticed, more so ignored and looked over.

Amazing post

This was another great collaboration with Edgar, brother! The smooth flow contrast against the motivational words really meshed well. It's shorter than we're used to, but the effect is all the same. I really like the parts when you're rapping and there's a second voice you're vibing with. Everything came together really well and it depicts a powerful message that everyone needs to hear. Great work, you two!

Well there is a reason for it being shorter this time around, thank you bro, I will be releasing the official track later today I believe. Hope you enjoy the chill vibes when you peep it out , much appreciated.
