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!
