About This Track

Ocean Wisdom enlists Dizzee Rascal for 'Blessed', a collaboration that reunites the pair following their earlier work together. Rascal moves through the track with characteristic ease, cycling through boasts and affirmations across a relaxed beat. The song settles into a straightforward groove: work, rest, invest, and the confidence that comes from having sorted yourself out. Rascal's verses build from material comfort (big yard, pretty woman, respect on the street) to something closer to philosophy, the kind of self-assurance that doesn't need to shout. The chorus is simple repetition of a single word, each iteration a small declaration. There's no strain in the delivery, no need to prove anything beyond what the lyrics already state. The track moves without urgency, which is precisely the point.

"Blessed" is a track by Ocean Wisdom, from the album Big Talk - Vol.1 - The Mixtape, released 13th August 2019. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Blessed

[Verse 1: Dizzee Rascal]

Live long and prosper, Star Trek

I'm a star and I ain’t been parred yet

Try par and see how far you get

I'll be at your neck in just a sec

I'll be at your neck it's not a threat

I don't pet, I get me some respect

On the net lookin' out for a buy to let

Big yard in a country where I slept

I mean where I sleep

Got a pretty peng ting in my own suite

She's so sweet and I'm on heat

I try keep it neat and be discreet

Big feet and it's making it hard to creep

And I'm in too deep it's hard to cheat

Got spars from the street, but we hardly speak

Still I hardly weep, I won’t accept defeat, I’m hard to beat

I pattern up the beat, it’s got an easy vibe, I want an easy ride

As long as I can provide for the fam, I’m live

And I reside where the hell I decide

I’ve decided I’m the biggest baddest thing alive

Number Johnny 5, the prototype

I’m photogenic even in the night, with a lack of light

You see me shining

I ain’t outta sight, I ain’t got a hyping

And you ain't gotta like it

I’m so excited, I ain’t gotta fight it, second sight

I might be a psychic, second-sight, I might reignite it

Get what you deserve, you invite it

Swerving through the dirt, clocking mileage

Looking stylish, I ain’t got a stylist

And my vibe is violent

Likkle man be silent

You're a fly in the eyes of a giant

I been flying high so long, I’m tired

I ain’t tired enough to retire

But I’m tired of preaching to the choir

I got what you require

You deny you’re a liar, liar

Set fire to your attire

I supply, you're a buyer, prior

I was the guy on the flyer

I ain’t letting it fly, you’re a trier

Try test me and I'll get the UMP, yeah I'm the umpire

Caution when you inquire

Right or wrong, I fight for what I desire

Call me Rascal or call me Sire

Why? ‘Cause I rule the Shire

And I'm

[Chorus: Dizzee Rascal]

Blessed

Work rest and invest

Got it sussed I don't guess

Spoke to God and he told me that I'm

Blessed

Be a boss and be the best

Better say it with your chest

I don't stress I just finesse and yes I'm

Blessed

Work rest and invest

Got it sussed I don't guess

Spoke to God and he told me that I'm

Blessed

Be a boss and be the best

Better say it with your chest

I don't stress I just finesse and yes I'm

[Verse 2: Ocean Wisdom]

Blessin' blockin' up the road

See 'em droppin' like it's snow, mm hmm

Erratic chillin' at my home

It was rainy on the roads, mm hmm

Indecisive with your flow

Will I skip or will I won't, mm hmm

You will or won't I bet you choke

You ain't blessed you on the ropes (wait, wait)

Niggas knowing that I will

Overcompensate with thrilI, I just kill 'em prolifically

Too many mandem are moving fernickety

Rickety with it they dissin' my trickery

Intricate lyrics on top of the imagery

Me and my money are working in synergy

Cinematography all in my video

Look at the influence look at the mini-me's

Oi look at them bark up

Man saw the pussy when the pussy just park up

Manna got the matic in the attic he a hard nut

Calibrate the badness now a brudda feelin' charged up

Been around the world and never seen a brudda start up

Seen a brudda panic from the jabbin' to the

Heart, gut, chest, leg, back

Sitting where he sat I bet he wish he had armour

But, but you know that's irrelevant

I'm lookin' at a nigga like he suffering impediments

A brudda couldn't figure out how da Wizzy do it elegant

A brudda with da vigour tryna cover unintelligence

A man there with a matic kinda looking like he tepid

'Cause a brother caught him slippin' send him to the paramedic

And a brudda with the heart and soul of an elephant

Quiet and calm made more than the rest of 'em

Made more than dem man

Dem man run man down with ten man

Dat man done man ducked out lapped man

Now man's balling more than Henman

And they don't pay rent fam

Dat man got more cribs than dem man

Dem man ask man now for a ten pound

But it ain't that when dem man beg man

What you know about that fam

Man left the pack by the gaff in the trash can

Man couldn't have a backpack full of that when I'm

Whippin' a car worth more than a man's flat

Ay, but you know a man met man, came with the dead flow, dead hook, dead pan

Stare man down like dude you a dead man if you try spit

Those at the event fam

You are not

[Chorus: Dizzee Rascal]

Blessed

Work rest and invest

Got it sussed I don't guess

Spoke to God and he told me that I'm

Blessed

Be a boss and be the best

Better say it with your chest

I don't stress I just finesse and yes I'm

Blessed

Work rest and invest

Got it sussed I don't guess

Spoke to God and he told me that I'm

Blessed

Be a boss and be the best

Better say it with your chest

I don't stress I just finesse and yes I'm
