Blessed

[Verse 1: Twista]

Now I thought I was born to not have nothin'

Thought I was put here to honor those that had somethin'

I asked, "How can I believe in the righteous God?

How can I be so young realizin' life is hard?"

Seein' so much pain and hunger grow up from a adolescence

Realizin' that I never had a blessin'

And look at momma

Wasn't like God had her life cut off

I see her cryin', prayin' night 'cause the lights cut off

My comin' of age, poor even though we government paid

Hard times 'cause we came up off of public aid

And, shit, didn't drive 'til I was twenty

But didn't know we had somethin' even though we didn't have money

Lovin', it is the truth

Strong family roots

You can make if you work hard and pray it, I'm livin' proof

Don't be tellin' me to get well or to rest in peace

I thank the Creator for bringin' out the best in me

He blesses me

[Chorus: Jessi Malay]

I'm blessed and that's okay

He's takin' care of me

And I'm thankful for each day

'Cause I know He blesses me

When the new day unite

As hard as it may be

I'm thankful 'cause I know-I know He blesses me

[Verse 2: Twista]

Always to Allah, take some righteous advice

You could to Jehovah or get some Christ in your life

Whatever your belief, just know that God is in you

Have a little faith in yourself and you could do what you do

Get a job, get some ends, get a Bentley, get a Benz

Get some ice, get a [?], give a blessin' to a friend

Sit back and watch it come back to you ten times fold

I thank the Lord for my ability to spit rhymes cold

I know you got some static but, shorty, put down the gun

Keep the faith and study up on the mother, child, and the son

I got a rifle but my life and career's revival came when my grandma said, "Put a letter up in the Bible"

That I wrote to God, it should be no man's shame

'Cause I got my life together, that's when Slow Jamz came

Dropped a album, Kamikaze, and did away with the stress

When you lay that triple platinum, can't you tell I'm a success?

I've been blessed

[Chorus: Jessi Malay]

I'm blessed and that's okay

He's takin' care of me

And I'm thankful for each day

'Cause I know He blesses me

When the new day unite

As hard as it may be

I'm thankful 'cause I know-I know He blesses me

[Break: Twista]

I thank the Lord for the air that I breathe

I thank the Lord for bringin' blessings to my seed

I thank the Lord for fillin' all of my needs

I thank the Lord you better get down on your knees

I thank the Lord for my family and they health

I thank the Lord for all the money and the wealth

I thank the Lord for givin' me a better way

I thank the Lord and every night I gotta pray

I thank the Lord

[Chorus: Jessi Malay]

I'm blessed and that's okay

He's takin' care of me

And I'm thankful for each day

'Cause I know He blesses me

When the new day unite

As hard as it may be

I'm thankful 'cause I know-I know He blesses me

I'm blessed and that's okay

He's takin' care of me

And I'm thankful for each day

'Cause I know He blesses me

When the new day unite

As hard as it may be

I'm thankful 'cause I know-I know He blesses me
