Congrats to all the winners of WEEK 4, I look forward to future songs and project collaborations with those who have reached out to me privately and publicly, I am always open to creative and positively inspiring collaborations. Let's keep it going with Week 5.
I believe this song speaks for itself, Rest in Peace to all Victims of war, both Soldier and Civilians, Adults and Children alike... We are all people, God's children, deserving love and peace, and not dying a brutal and tragic death, let alone the witnessing of innocent lives that are slaughtered in the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, to even millions...
When you apply your heart, mind and soul into music, emotions become inevitable as you embody, sympathize and empathize with the story you are aiming to share and the people involved in those situations...

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 ENTRY LYRICS
“When There's War, Where You At?” by Verbal-D
Chorus: When there's War Coming from the East Coming from the West From the South Coming from the North People wanna know
They say, "Where you at?" Uh, They say, "Where you at?" Ohhhh
We're asking "Why, People Gotta Die?" Bullets passing by Hear the cries Victims still alive Help is far and wide They say, "Where you at?" Uh, They say, "Where you at?" Ohhhh
Verse 1: What are we fighting for? Why does it always have to come to War? Ask the shooters, 'What's the meaning?, Who they're gunning for?' 'Cause it don't make sense like selling Blanks at a Hunting Store
Enemies approaching and They're coming with a Hundred More... Only got a blunted sword... Couple bricks and wooden boards... Combat boots, old matches that are done and worn...
Purpose on this earth's Not Just Survival or Who wants it More... World on their shoulders, marching troops, you know their soles are sore Fighting for their Freedom, heavy breathing, sweat is on their pores Just One Body shot down is Enough of gore!...
People want Peace, No Escape So where they running towards? Anybody helping, 'stead of hiding, Are YOU coming forth? You can be rich in love but you are dungeon poor... Still make a difference, save a life, so What you waiting for??? What you waiting for??? What you waiting for???...
Chorus: 'Cause When there's War Coming from the East Coming from the West From the South Coming from the North People wanna know They say, "Where you at?" Uh, They say, "Where you at?" Ohhhh
We're asking "Why, People Gotta Die?" Bullets passing by Hear the cries Victims still alive Help is far and wide They say , "Where you at?" Uh, They say, "Where you at?" Ohhhh
Verse 2: Bombs on the land overseas from the sky to shore Precious lives lost, sentimental things you had insured People dying off and that is something that WE can't ignore Tryna blow up whole communities, that's HOW they damage core
And there's no way of dodging that, not even a Matador Mother with her newborn thinking, "I'm Not Having More.. " Nobody wants to raise up any babies in such Havoc, War You can be so rich in love, and still be seen as a Savage more
Enemies who hunt you down, watch your Flag get torn Can't just make it disappear like body of a Damaged Corpse This is not a magic store Bullets fired, ran their course Raising up a panic storm Fathers feeling helpless, they slam the door!
They just want protection for their family From any tragedy Missiles over head are shot, whistling, crackling Elderly give up their lives, Assault and Battery Guarding the little children in these moments truly sad to see!...
... A baby, toddler, child, teen should never have to see! War should never happen, B, so why does it all have to be??? So much Pain inside the heart and mind, the flames are grappling! It is all in disbelief until they're saved and they all have relief...they all have relief...they all have relief...they all have relief...
Chorus: 'Cause when there's War Coming from the East Coming from the West From the South Coming from the North People wanna know
They say, "Where you at?" Uh, they say, "Where you at?" Ohhhh
We're asking "Why, People Gotta Die?" Bullets passing by Hear the cries Victims still alive Help is far and wide They say , "Where you at?" Uh, they say, "Where you at?" Ohhhh
Verse 3: Old man trapped in his car, thinking bout his Daughter's house They're treating them like animals, so now it is a Slaughterhouse Gotta duck down deep and under seats to dodge the Target Rounds Laying on the streets, Others carried, and they are Harness Bound
Husband in the hospital is gonna be a Father now His baby being born is gonna have to wear some Armor now Getting Thrown/Throne from the balconies, like they were just a Tarnished Crown Life is getting harder now With shrapnel pieces falling down
Everywhere is water now Broken pipes, explosion sounds Holes in roofs of houses, and the countless people martyred down... Many young lost souls are buried treasured on Uncharted grounds... Some families will not leave, 'cause this is where their heart is now!
Where does Anybody go? Where do All the Bodies go? Many roads are blocked by tanks Where heavy bombs will surely blow...
Where does all this Anger go? We don't want this Hate to grow We just want the Purest Love It doesn't take a Saint to show...(x2)
Chorus: When there's War Coming from the East Coming from the West From the South Coming from the North People wanna know
They say, "Where you at?" Uh, they say, "Where you at?" Ohhhh
We're asking "Why, People Gotta Die?" Bullets passing by Hear the cries Victims still alive Help is far and wide They say , "Where you at?" Uh, they say, "Where you at?" Ohhhh
Outro: In this life... You Gotta Be A Positive light,
Share a Powerful Love, Inspire in a Pivotal Position with a Purposeful Passion.
'Cause if you want to change the world, it takes Character, Faith, Perseverance, Plans and Action...
