I actually performed this song acapella as an additional showcasing in the X Got Talent spaces held last friday by @DJ Doge on X which you can hear on his profile, a big shout out to their whole music community and the Vibes Team.
Here is my entry titled "JUST TO LOVE" with Full Entry Lyrics provided below
FULL SONG ENTRY LYRICS BELOW (KEEP SCROLLING DOWN)
You know I always come with heavy wordplay, deep meaningful storytelling, parables and powerful messages, to inspire, uplift, create conversations, and welcome critical thinking and soulful artistry into all that is music, and how I embody and express it through my various styles.
God has truly gifted me with the gift of music with which I gift back to you all, and I hope you can take something positive from it and get a glimpse into my soul with each new verse and song idea I release.
God bless you all, may He receive the glory.

Full Song Lyrics
JUST TO LOVE
Intro Choir Singing
(Vocal Sample From Nature Boy
By The Singers Unlimited & Gene Puerling):
The greatest
The greatest, thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved...
In return....
Verbal D
Verse 1:
God blesses those who stay humble
Fight for what's right for the kids when you're living in this jungle
Not only am I a father, but I'm an Uncle
Living in this present tense, never the past moments where I've sunk low
Looking at pictures of my children, when they were months old
Reminiscing on time, just hoping that I could love slow
They're all growing fast, my learning process is subtle
Making these moments last, adapting to daily struggles
Be there for my family, even if all my funds low
Actions speak louder than words, even those untold
' Cause we don't have much time to make positive impacts
Make sure your love is intact when memories start to unfold
You can study life through experience without the research
Stay close (clothes) to your family like handmedowns of a T shirt
Music hits hard, that's why the beat hurts
Never shake or break under pressure like a cheap purse
So many talk death, I'm here to speak birth
Giving life through the lyrics', how I clearly teach worth
Gotta value your soul, have life goals that you can reach first
Want to change lives for the better
Sharing each verse...
Verse 2:
'Cause in this realm of existence, it's do or die.
People changing colors, twisted upwards, like a hairdo dyed
I'm off the war machine, while soldiers committing suicide.
People see the how, but never knew the "Why"
(God bless the dead)
Cold in plight
But colder the nights
And even at the highest altitudes
It's coldest in flight
You gotta learn to let go like a string to a broken kite
'Cause it's No Holds Barred in this life like an open fight
And the ghosts of your past aren't always cloaked in white
That is alchemy and spirits, alcohol with Coke and Sprite
Seeing double, tunnel vision, apparition, ghost or sprite
Is your glass half empty, half full, or only ice?
Can't drink your problems away, losing focus, sight
See the Proof is this still (distill), as real as Hope and Light, light, light, light....
(Short Break)
Verse 3:
So many lost souls
With no home in sight
So they settle for the streets
Cardboard boxes, what they go inside
While they're sleeping on asphalt
The rich never at fault
The wealthy got black vaults
It's what they put their gold inside
Don't the need the greed or their white rules
'Cause money's a life tool
So how you use it
Shows what coincides...
Your soul is what will truly glow inside
The ruly won't provide
Gotta stay whole and complete
With no divide
And God is love, so don't rely on when the cupid fly
Evil in this world, as people group to hide...
When our soul needs the light of Christ who they have crucified.
People worship devils, getting Lucified
I gotta cut through the BS and start to loose the ties
Aiming up for heaven's gates, golden in the bluest skies
Focus on what’s right, not hypnotised by the Lumen eyes
Easy for the Mark of the Beast to now dehumanize.
Put down like an animals, Satan begins to euthanize
But you'll see into the future when you're staring at the youth in eyes
Stare into the windows of the soul and see if pupils lie
Wanna be a teacher? Gotta bring your pupils by
Reviving all the brain dead souping from all the noodle fry
No strings attached, cutting loose noose, no loopholes high...
(Short break)
Verse 4:
We gotta fellowship together, how we fully gonna unionize
It all starts with us, it's truly you and I
They say we can't spell UNION with NO 'U' N 'I'
Anagram wordplay, shuffle letters, find the truth inside
People dying off and getting eulogized...
No laws inside the jungle, if nobody's being supervised
Behavior patterns of our life are getting scrutinized
Ever seen the deaths from all the violence humans brutalize?...
*Jesus Christ is the way, the light, the truth, and future side
Mind is awake, I fight for truth, so you can try
Free will is given, be driven whenever you decide
Elites in suits and ties tryna neutralize
But I'm saved by faith
By God's grace
Should've died for my sins,
But Christ took my place
Sweet Jesus is my strength
The Can when I can't
Plan when I blank
Helping Hand when I... tank
Verse 5:
I'm gon' be laughing when I'm back in action
Patience is a virtue 'til we reach our satisfaction
And those without the understanding be the saddest faction
Who try to downplay our presence with depressions, bad reactions
They be talking out of anger like the maddest maiden
But my pen is sharper than their swords, as they're trying to wedge their blades in...
...We'll rise again like a fallen painting
They saying, ' Not gon' work', playing hookey with called in statements...
Talk is cheap, but power statements can win
Don't put your money where your mouth is
You don't know where it's been
Don't put your money where your mouth is
Might be blood dividends...
From all the skeletons in closet, hidden up in the vents...
The people dealing out the cash, they might seem innocent
Only 'cause you didn't catch them off guard while they're in a sin
False angel claiming they're from heaven, from which it isn't sent
Third eyes, sixth feeling see beyond the inner sense...
People doubled over, belly hurting, got their innards bent
'Cause they can't stomach the truth, when it's delivered, sent
Cold world and winters got us thinking what the shivers meant
While a warm body, drunk, be wondering where it's liver went...
Our very souls can't be priced by all the Bitcoins
Sound of our spirit's sweet, with heart and mind, if it's joined
Need a helping hand? If I can reach, I'll stretch with this joint
And I'm very mindful of my words not like a "diss" joint
Keep the truth popping out them sockets like a disjoint
Keep a sharp mind, full knowledge when I pin point
Writing these rhymes with full purpose as my pen points
Quill pen spilling and spelling, quelling the killing, 'til the end point!
Wow, am 100 bars and words, I think I need to go download you song 🎧 this is. Hit
I actually rap also but I wasn't sure this competition was for also for traps, and I had made a random song video but seeing your post gives me motivation to pin down my bars. I love you sir, you like a motivation to me on this Vibes competitions and I hope to see more punch lines from you , so I can add to my hot list 😂 You are the best of all sir
Oh nice, comment again and let me know when you post your Vibes entry, I will definitely check it out, plus it's good to connect with more Hip Hop emcees. The Vibes Music Community is accepting of so many various styles of music. A couple of artists, including myself, have won the Vibes Contest in 1st place and the 500 Dollar Reward by using Hip Hop songs.
I also sing and play piano, so I will switch it up from time to time. But thank you for your kind words. I am so glad to motivate you and others. More punchlines are on their way, that is my style, no force necessary :) appreciate your support man
Thank you for the fresh feedback, yeah this is one of those songs that KEEPS me in CHECK, whether or not I have my breathing control down, and I can test my overall endurance and performance quality as well. I appreciate you listening
I was like wow! Like VerbalD you are so damn good at what you do and those lyrics, how are they so much! 😳 You are making get the feeling that you think so fast because those words can't just come to just anyone, hehe.
Indeed we should just love and you've given us more than enough reasons to be reminded that it's just for us to LOVE!
Another great presentation sir 🥰, God bless you ❣️
Thank you for your blessing words once again, May God Jesus Christ receive the glory for any victory, musically, physically and spiritually. I actually do write fast, but it is only seemingly easy with the guidance of the Holy Spirit plus all the experience I have gained over the years. I recently heard some songs and read the lyrics to a couple of my very first tracks I ever made and recorded, and let me tell you
They were not even close to being good in my eyes and to my ears, we all start somewhere of course but those songs were not only awful, but they were so bad, all I could do was laugh, I couldn't even rap those verses now even if I wanted to, and I definitely don't want to haha
Lets keep spreading the love indeed, with everything that we do. Keep God first and we can't lose. For God is indeed love, and love we shall.
Yeah, God's words have filled you will the right words at every point in time and those experiences too which God has helped you experienced.
I know right, going back to how we started can hardly ever be better than how we are today except of course we don't learn.
It's always a pleasure stopping by 🥰
Hold on bro, where you going. You just left those heavy bars on my shoulder. Damn bro you good fr and your attitude is giving.
Hahaha, thanks bro, you can lift them up no problem, they are both heavy and uplifting simultaneously. GREATER IS HE (Jesus Christ) that is in me, than he (the devil) that is in the world.
Appreciate your encouraging words. We gonna keep this energy going.....
Smiles...Cheers to more entries my bro.
That's really inspiring! You really appreciate the art in music and use that as a tool to communicate and share important messages with the world. That's really something that should be appreciated. I'm sure that with every lyric and melody you create, you touch the hearts of many people. You're using your talent to make a difference, and that's pretty incredible. The world needs more artists like you who care about making a positive change through their art. I can't wait to hear more of your music in the future!
Your comment is also inspiring ans detailed on the levels and layers that I focus on with the intentions and message of my music. I really appreciate you taking the time out to point out all of these important factors, I completely agree, we do need more artists that are willing to make a real change and positive difference with how they write their music and what they share, and who to... my purpose is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and shed light and perspective on the dark corrupted things in this fallen world and promote why we need leaders and lovers. More music from me is coming soon, in the meantime please feel free to check out my previous 6 entries into the contest, I hope you enjoy them as well.
Your goal in music to enlighten is a great one.

Excelente mi estimado amigo... Te comento que perdimos la cuenta varias personas de acá de la ciudad, por un ladrón de cuentas llamado @sonft, nos están vaciando los monederos, no sabemos como lograron dar con las llaves de seguridad, pero quedamos jodidos... Comenzaré de nuevo Dios mediante con esta nueva cuenta...
Oh no brother, I am sorry to hear that, how much money did you lose because of him? That is terrible, but I know the Hive community will help to support you and give you back what you lost! Did this happen just right now? Or when did it happen? If there is anyway I can help to make this aware and spread the notice, I will definitely assist. I followed your new account immediately. Your first post should be a written and video blog explaining what happened. And who else was affected... I will help promote it
Mi hermano @davidcentenor, @morenaluna, la mamá de mi esposa @eltrendelsaber, un aluno de guitarra de usuario @dannielalejandro, mi hija @dreamystar, fue algo terrible, aún más porque estamos pasando por una situación muy difícil, ya que nos están pidiendo desalojo dónde vivo con mis dos hijos, en verdad esto ha sido una calamidad, por el momento en que sucedió... Y debo cancelar 450 dólares antes del 12 de abril porque la conserje del edificio eso nos dijo... Gracias por escribir hermano, en verdad lo aprecio...
As usual -always killing it! Also loved the moment you showed the pic of your kids! That hit home for me ❤️ amazing job
Oh snapss, I didn't even see this comment yet and I just got done listening to your amazing song as well. Perfect timing truly, and definitely no coincidence, I feel we are getting closer to that time to start lol thanks for chiming in and listening, I love my three little kiddies, but two of them are not so little anymore... makes me think of having a fourth one haha, but it's another LEVEL lol
Yoo.. This is so good bro .! You got Bars 🔥🔥🔥 .! Loved it
Thank you very much bro, I appreciate all the love, it is a blessing to receive
From the moment the track started and I saw your attitude, I knew I was in for a very tough lyric in this song brother. Tough this entry for the competition, congrats man 😎✌
Haha thanks bro, I appreciate you and your kind words, I want the tough challenges in music so I can level up and elevate!
Your participation was powerful and of great impact @verbal-d. Reflections made into song. What talent brother. I was already out of breath. I am content to listen to your mastery and excellence in rapping.😎👍
Tu participación fue poderosa y de gran impacto @verbal-d. Reflexiones hechas canto. Vaya talento hermano. Yo ya hubiera quedado sin aliento. Me conformo con escuchar tu dominio y excelencia al rapear.😎👍
Thanks alot nancy for your amazing comment and compliments. The rapping does take a lot of breath control, but after so many years of practice it becomes second nature. I am so glad you enjoyed this entry
What an amazing composition! I loved the lyrics, without a doubt family is a powerful motivation to move forward. I congratulate you, brother, you are a great musician.
I appreciate you very much, thank you for your moving and kind words, God and family first, and since God is family, Family definitely comes first. Thank you for listening and your great feedback
