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.

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!
