![](https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://media.giphy.com/media/GsGRj27VM1UHu/giphy.gif)
This is one of the first songs I ever used any German phrase in my music as I was learning the language. It may be a small phrase but it has a bigger meaning and impact and I believe it serves its purpose perfectly within the message I'm delivering.
Just wanted to make a feel good song, with an upbeat vibe to get people pumped up and motivated for life.
I hope you all enjoy this for what it's worth and take something positive from it.

Full Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:
It's a cold world, so we live in the snow
People quick to take but the giving is slow
They'll be little you low little bit of crippling blows
You're bound to get frostbitten 50 below
Got to make a campfire with the sticks and the stones
If I call you for help better pick up the phone
We are here for each other not for living alone
We can set a foundation stead of ripping up homes
Slip in the zone focused on the images shown
People showing true colors when they're Switching up tones
Make a difference any place that we can enter and roam
I'd rather stand out than be another the split in the comb
A war going on outside and inside, but outside there's gotta be somebody picking up bones
There's too many people losing lives as soon as they arrive from young kids to those full-grown
Verbal D
Chorus:
If you want to make a difference in this world never hesitate to start with yourself
Lass Gehn Let's Go(x4)
And if you do make the time and won't blow that aside and you've mapped out a plan to provide
Lass Gehn Let's Go(x4)
Verbal D
Verse 2:
Peep the black ice if living the fast life
Dash right, gonna need much more than flashlights
A jackknife, a slack rope that's wrapped twice
Ice picks and vice grips to grab tight
It's no game, every one of your past fights
So it's gonna be trickier than a half pipe
And you're gonna need much more than half life
If you plan on traveling areas with stalagmites
You gotta be sharper than every trap spike
Quicker than every land mine, clearer than every hand sign
Cause there's people that's waiting to backstab ya, laugh at ya, if they're given a moment, they'll have at ya
So keep your guard up, doesn't mean you gotta start building new walls and always keeping your heart shut
Be open-minded, even through the cold shoulders providing a warm heart in the world that froze over
Verbal D
Chorus:
If you want to make a difference in this world never hesitate to start with yourself
Lass Gehn Let's Go(x4)
And if you do make the time and won't blow that aside and you've mapped out a plan to provide
Lass Gehn Let's Go(x4)

I'll still be continuing accepting donations until I can reach my goal to fly out to america with my children and wife to visit my family as it is very urgent indeed.
I've raised $220 and .90 cents of Steemit Currency in total from both My Posts and Donations from Steemit Community Members this 2017 forward and $00.00 in US Dollar Donations so far towards my goal of $ 6,000.00 (Six Thousand) US Dollars and will keep everyone updated with every new future post that I submit.
This total amount will not only include donations I've received to the Paypal account I've provided: [email protected], but it will also include the Steemit Currency that I accrue/receive from all of my personal posts starting the 1st of January of 2017 forward calculated after a 48 hour time frame is finished for the payout cycle of each post to avoid miscalculating the fluctuating price of Steemit Currency.
For more information on that, please check my New Year's/Happy Bday Post
Thanks sincerely again in advance for all your help, anything and everything helps.
A SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL GENEROUS AND GIVING DONORS HERE FROM THE STEEMIT COMMUNITY!

My very own wonderful gif logo provided to me by the generous and kindhearted @papa-pepper Thanks again very much!
Fun one man! Love the positive vibes :)
Thank you very much bro, it is a fun one to perform, but requires a lot of energy, as do a lot of my songs lol Gotta stay fit with the cardio for the best delivery.
Looked like it! Makes me wonder if you're breathing properly? I dunno, I don't sing very well...
Well, if I wasn't breathing properly, I could assure you I wouldn't be able to perform this song in particular, rapping is different from singing, but breathing techniques are important for both. For faster paced songs like this one, controlled breathing and quick inhales between lines and not always at the ends of lines is necessary depending on how I've structured my writing and verses.
Sure. I can tell it's hard, I just wonder if there are certain rules to follow or tricks? I'm newb^^
There are so many breathing techniques to use, but usually you learn them with time what is best for your style of delivery and energy and projection.
Great rap you bring back Chali2na memories , might have to revisit him again :), great plug tho, great text, I'm sharing with some of my friends ,I want to see what they think, they have a few rap tracks , but have to work and all , so it's a shame how much people grow apart , but yes great text very uplifting :) , Cheers !!
glitchy, musical, chill hop instrumental, they have a few tracks , those are the instrumental ones,the first one is from the master track builder :D
I feel like I'm falling behind all my replies lately lol, sorry for the wait. Thank you so much for your comment and for listening. Chali2na is a talented rapper, and I'm grateful you are sharing my music and giving me recommendations. I'll definitely check them out and yes we must uplift each other no matter what!
I checked out all three tracks, glitchy was a favorite and the others were chill. I left a comment on each of the tracks for your friends. Thanks for sharing, it was nice to listen to new music.
Wish they could find time to make more, they do but jobs has them , that damned steve :D , guess money and a foundation are as important as creating art.
Yeah, very few can fuse the two into a lifestyle, but at least they have made art to appreciate and I'm grateful to have heard it. Music and creativity is a gift indeed to share with the world.
woo up another level my friend this was hott!!! love it.. the lyrics perfect. flow is right in the pocket. sound wise reminds me of some old school good vibe Will Smith when he was sportin dj jazzy jeff and the fresh prince "summertime" . LOVE IT!!! upvote lyrically motivational and uplifting
Thank you so much friend, I take that as a big compliment. A lot of people say I sound like Will Smith, especially when I do my story telling raps, I shall do one soon and show you what I mean. I love summertime, and I actually did a rendition of my own version using the same sample from that song in a fusion beat my friend Troy The Kid had produced. I'll try and release that soon as well. So glad you enjoy my uplifting lyrics. That's what I'm all about.
Very smooth. I'm trying to remember the actual song from the intro...I can't think of it. My favorite part was the ending when you did like an echo for the go. That sounded really mellow. Keep it up man and good luck!
Thank you so much bro, appreciate hearing feedback from you as always. I also can't remember the song, but I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I have been known to echo out my outros more often than naught, it just ends well to me personally. Thank you again, I shall keep it up. You know me!
Bro, I want to repeat, your rap is deamn perfect, good luck in competition:)
Thank you very much @justhope, I am really humbled by your generous words. I appreciated the luck, but you definitely deserved to win. I will be preparing my next entry for wk 17 real soon, just trying to decide which song to do now. :)
Great lyrics and performance! I listened to it a number of times!
I especially liked this part.
Thank you a lot, I'm always happy and grateful when people tell me which parts of the songs are their favorites. That happens to be my favorite part too and thought it ended the song very well on that verse. By the way, my kids have been sick, that's why I'm slow to reply! Catching up as I type
