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.

FULL ENTRY LYRICS
“MULTIFACTED”
by Verbal-D
Beat Prod. By 9th Wonder
Chorus:
What's up? The cost of living
What's down? The conviction of white collared criminals
What's left? hope, love and faith
What's right? Changing lives, even if it's just one….
What's up? The cost of living
What's down? The conviction of white collared criminals
What's left? hope, love and faith
What's right? Changing lives, even if it's just one….
Verse 1:
Born into the eighties
Gon' be rappin 'til I'm 80
Let 'em hate along the journey
Let 'em hate, 'cause I'll be waiting
Top is where we're headin'
There's no time for second guessin'
Every gift that has been given,
Recognition Godly blessin'!
Back to our community
Struggle is nothing new to me,
Sick of our government
‘Cause few have immunity
Love and peace inside my heart,
There's nothing more that's true to me
Know the Light of Truth!
Beyond the darkness of its cruelty...
Stand by all your friends and fam
Without a day of truancy,
Attend the day I met you first,
‘Til both our graves say 'You & Me',
Focused on our unity,
Won't catch me rappin' stupidly,
Smarter than the most of them...
Ask yourself ‘cause you can think!
Don't ever let them dumb you down
Vicious circle, run you round
Malicious, superstitions
Have a vision that will hunt you down...
Ghost sounds, haunted town
Bird’s eye look around...
We're born as Kings and Queens!
Don't ever live it like they took your crown!
Chorus:
...The cost of living
What's down? The conviction of white collared criminals
What's left? hope, love and faith
What's right? Changing lives, even if it's just one….
What's up? The cost of living
What's down? The conviction of white collared criminals
What's left? hope, love and faith
What's right? Changing lives, even if it's just one….
Verse 2:
Visual Acuity
We're rising up so you can see
Positively approaching life
We live it like a Jubilee
Release your mind more fluidly
Turn it into Poetry
Don't bite into the apple...
If you want to see the Golden Tree!
Want to enter Happiness?
Help you find an Opening,
A shoulder to Lean on
Even when we're holding things
We stay strong forever
Whenever an opponent's seen
Fellowship is Key
And true friendship is our potency...
Faith is what we're all about
Hope is what we're focusing...
We can change the world together
Hope that you are noticing...
That when I wrote in ink
That's how I float and sink...
We need to elevate together
So we float in sync!
Searching for the Fountain of Youth
What we're supposed to drink
Potential has been founded in you!
You are the growing link!
And even though the Mountain has grew...
And we've been grounded to dew...
We'll cover the world with CHANGE like we are upholstery!
Chorus:
What's up? The cost of living
What's down? The conviction of white collared criminals
What's left? hope, love and faith
What's right? Changing lives, even if it's just one….
Ah wow - very very good! Big fan of the chorus "up, down, left, right" with the strong messages - that makes it very memorable even after the first listen!
Much much gratitude, so glad you found this one memorable, it is indeed one of my favorite songs to perform because of the message and delivery, the beat especially just amps me up, I feel like it is an anthem like song for my kind of music of what I like to make most, let's see if you can vibe and enjoy the newest song I just posted. I'm gonna check out your page and see what kind of music you make. I see you play guitar.

Thank you very much for the comment and great suggestion, I will check out some Salsa Hip Hop fusion beats, that sounds like a lot of fun, I appreciate you listening and for your kind words
You make beats..?
Hello @capitandelbam, yes I do make original beats. Various kinds and styles. What are you searching for in particular?
My love for a rap music is beyond telling and how fascinating when I see someone who does it historical greatly.
This is lovely man,for me this is the best I have listened here so far, bravo man
Thank you very much for your kind words of acknowledgement and appreciation for this style of music and art. I am grateful and glad you enjoyed it so much. Looking forward to sharing more songs here.
Another week with us. Great to see you again. Another lyrical mastery. :)
Thank you so much. Much gratitude to see you as well again in the comments section. Appreciate you lending your ears to this particular piece. It lifts me up when life gets rough. Glad to add it in the VIBES experience of our audiences.
Excellent lyrical performance. I congratulate you, you are versatile and multifaceted.
Big compliments, all glory to the Most High God Jesus Christ. I couldn’t ever do it without Him. I wasn’t always lyrical or versatile but as I grew in my teenage years when I started at 12, the gifts were developed into skill sets over long hours of practice and dedication. Thank you for your support truly
Love the lyrics, always with the powerful message. You're good!!
Lyrics are for sure a focal point in the creative process, thank you so much for your blessing words, coming from a skilled violinist and pro-singer as yourself.
Me encantó. Muy buen delivery y flow y pude entender algo de la letra. Saludos bro
Greetings. I'm glad you loved it, thank you very much for the nice words, some of my lyrics are straight forward messages and others can be encrypted and complexly layered, the creative writing process is always a fun and interesting one, appreciate your support and feedback.
Wow, this is just amazing and the lyrics was so relatable.
To think that this is an original song just puts an impressive smile on my face, nice one sir 🥰
Your words produce a smile out of me as well, thank you so much for your kind expressions. Original music is what I focus on, there are so many amazing artists in this world, but at a young age I realized, who is going to tell my story? Yes I can relate to songs but as Tupac Shakur said, there can be a million or more people in the world that Do what you Do, but they will never be able to Do it the way that You Would Do It, and we can inspire and influence the minds of the youth to create change for the future indeed
His words are true, so true and I'm even more impressed to know you have those words in mind always and I'm definitely keeping those words in mind too.
Now that I know my words could put a smile on your face I'm also smiling too, keep doing what you do best because you are totally amazing at it ❤️. I'm definitely looking forward to your next entry, the one after that and after that and so on 🤭🥰.
Yes, truth does not need to be defended or explained when it is a given and simple acceptance of what we know to be truth.
God made each and everyone of us uniquely.
Thank you again, keep up your singing as well, and I can’t wait to share more in the future.
You're right, Truth doesn't need defense because it is defense on it's own. And yes God has made us all uniquely and we are just a living testimony of that.
You're welcome and yes I will keep it up. I hope you have a beautiful weekend.
Yes indeed. Thanks you too
You're welcome 🥰
Man you had a new follower at "follower of Jesus Christ" on your profile and then listening to how good you rap... I hope i've met a brother in arms 🙏🏽
Appreciate you brother, indeed we are in arms for we battle not against flesh and blood but against spiritual wickedness in high places, principalities and entities over whom we have authority to trample on such serpentines and scorpions through Jesus Christ’s powerful name. I appreciate you indeed, glad my music can resonate with you
