lyrics

In a world so big you know it’s hard to find your place
we all have incidents that we wish that we could erase
we all have consequences that at times we’re scared to face
Struggle is something that happens on a daily base
through pain we all relate in my mind it’s guaranteed
that we will all face times of hardship eventually
after we overcome only then we truly see
the natural gifts of life pleasure and serenity
no one is promised longevity in this world today
at any time of the day your life could be taken away
after we’re dead and gone beneath the soil deep in earth
what comes after death eternal bliss or something worse
not a believer in a heaven or hell
the truth is hard to find so it is impossible to tell
where our souls dwell as our bodies slowly decay
nothing is promised in life so I embrace today

Some days I wake up and feel as if I’ve been cursed since birth
but then I realize that my situation could be worse
I’m among the fortunate and now I start to see
that there are others in this world who have it worse then me
and there are others in this world who have it worse you
life is short take nothing for granted remember that to
take it to your grave and make sure that you don’t forget
that everything you have can disappear right in a sec
there are children in this world who only face neglect
lack clean water and have parents who don’t care to protect
so before you speak stop hold your breathe and think
everyone faces struggle and any ship can sink
will tomorrow come it’s impossible to say
every second minute and hour lives are taken away
and as I sit and think the only thing I have to say is
nothing is promised in life so embrace today kid

about

The Verbal Surgeon Massachusetts

Unabashedly East Coast, The Surgeon creates music that’s universally enjoyable. This is not snack-pack rap, this is grown man hip hop. Thought provoking, illuminating, honest. The Massachusetts native has a definite East-coast vibe emanating from his soul. He’s an open artist and a lyrical tyrant; The Verbal Surgeon has all the tools to make the game his.
