Full Song Lyrics
Verbal D
Verse 1:
I love slow beats, but often I don’t use ‘em
For Steemit Music League Challenge Week 8, I’mma start bruise ‘em
I say the title of this contest, so you know that this is a new one
It ain’t a thang for me to write verses, my flow hot, I brew some
This beat is called New York, shout out to Gold Flame, this is propane
This practice, I show gains, I’m Verbal D, not a no name
Every line right now’s got a New York reference
Liberty, staying free’s my preference
East coast vibe’s, a taste that your testing
Night city lights, a place that I rest in
City don’t sleep, doesn’t mean I’m resting
Crime rate great, seeing fiends arrested
People making moves, traffic too congested
Wall Street green, seeing things invested
Hip Hop Mecca, Boxing Mecca
New York’s influence is all set up
So much history in one era
Other cities they cannot compare ta'
Operas, to musicals, to dancing schools, and acting gigs
Skyscrapers, high wagers, life makers, entertainment biz
It’s a focal point for all travellers, and a home for the battle rappers
Salute and respect this whole state, no hate, know its fate’s ever great, it’s a place that matters…

Thank you very much bro. I appreciate you fully. You already know I'm gonna take a jab at the mc challenge round 1 you got going on. Bone Thugs are one of my favourites naturally.
I will peep the music video soon too no doubt
Your welcome and this might be random but do you know if @minnowpond does refunds? I was using them to help to promote the music video, sent sbd and got no upvotes or resteem!
I don't know bro, search their profile for contact info or customer service, maybe they are on discord or steemit.chat, best of success solving that
Ayyyyyyyy he comes back swinging o weeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Man are those New York-inspired lyrics so incredible. Love the creativity to describe the essence of New York line by line. And they are so insightful and have depth. You are teaching us about the brand of New York absolutely love it.
My favorite line is your closing one: "Salute and respect this whole State, no hate, know its fate’s ever great, it’s a place that matters…"
What powerful lyrics with depth to end this awesome flow. You know how to deliver a performance that is for sure.
Appreciate you creating this bad boy and sharing it with the community.
God bless buddy
I couldn't wait to show this one to you bro
I know it's been a while since I showed up in the Beat Battle League or SMLC. Beat making can be pretty time consuming so expect more performances and songs on the SMLC side of things. I was super juiced to structure this verse on the theme, because I have been to New York more than a few times and have had some great memories there.
Yeah that last line was a tricky one, simple rhymes, but a nice message and a quick flow that gave me a challenge.
Thank you for listening bro, it is a pleasure to share my music to those willing to listen and appreciate it :)
God bless indeed
Hip Hop Mecca.....
So much history in one era
Other cities they cannot compare ta'
So true. You slaying it brother. Dope lyrics and flowing. Tight.
Thank you very much bro,
Glad you got a chance to peep this one.
I was having a lot of fun flowing on this one. This is all practice to stay sharp.
I don't even remember the last time I rapped over a slow beat.
Things are looking up. I feel ready for our track :) Only get small windows of time when my daughter is at Kindergarten, so I'll hit you up on Discord and we can chop it up there.
