Blessed

Lyrics

[Intro: Jered Sanders] Hey W, you a fool for this one, homie Yo, this sound like, like elevator trap music [?] on the boards Real hope-hop circa 1985, baby Trying not to do too much, man, but Elevator trap sound like the new wave, don't it? [Verse 1: Jered Sanders] Yo, I done had a long, hard road, gotta get 'Bout a billy on the check Going silly, caught a milly on the neck Big Willy on the net Gordon Liddy in my city, I'm a vet My committee on the jet, you the best Budapest, Nuba guest to the left If you hating on the flex I'mma take it you in debt, pay respect They regret every minute they ain't put me on they playlist Now I'm flying to they city on the spaceship Ay, I ain't had a dollar, homie, not a grip I ain't had a lot of things, homie, I could jot a list Fresh Js, groovy chick, press play, groovy with Movie scripts, tooly grip, newly picked, ooh he spit I had to come from the bottom But God's Son told me, "Boy you a problem But in the city where it's dark nights You gon' be a light up in Gotham" And keep the fight up 'til they bright up the problem And we invite 'em, homie, right out of Sodom, Gomorrah And back to Zion, we supply 'em new life in the Torah A bloody massacre for lots of passengers, restorer 'Cause if it wasn't for that rugged cross Everybody running lost, homie, ah [Hook: Jered Sanders] Gotta thank God every morning Though they tryna cut me off I be lifting my opponent, I'm so Blessed Coming back, nah I don't want it Lotta blessing coming down, so I'm living in the moment, I'm so Blessed Man I never would've made it, I'm so Blessed Even when it's hard to fake it, I'm so Blessed Even when I'm kinda jaded, I'm so Blessed I'm so Blessed, yo, yo [Verse 2: Derek Minor] They say that I don't rap 'bout Jesus enough But Jesus ain't rap about himself, so what? My homies are confused this out of the church They say they talk about grace but they don't match they words Like Jesus wouldn't have called out racists Stood flat-footed and said it to they faces I'm about action, I don't judge what you saying Plus talk is cheap, so pay me in blue faces I'm starting to think that you don't love me Some salt of the earth tryna slug me Hate that I keep it real, they wanna hush me But when I'm telling the truth, don't interrupt me It was cool when I was waving my fingers at drug dealers It's a problem when I say that them dealers in God's image, yeah Thought that we was family, maybe I'm tripping Starting to look like the heroes becoming villains [Hook: Jered Sanders] Gotta thank God every morning Though they tryna cut me off I be lifting my opponent, I'm so Blessed Coming back, nah I don't want it Lotta blessing coming down, so I'm living in the moment, I'm so Blessed Man I never would've made it, I'm so Blessed Even when it's hard to fake it, I'm so Blessed Even when I'm kinda jaded, I'm so Blessed I'm so Blessed, yo, yo [Verse 3: Jered Sanders] God is a general He uttered a word and He counted the minerals The body is pitiful A lot of it's folly, a lot of it's cynical I'm jotting a visual We not even jolly, [oh golly?] it's criminal We try to copy and not an original We kinda funky and not even biblical Looking for minimal syllable lyrical miracles, eh Little is spiritual, eh Gimme the pinnacle, send me the digital, maybe the physical Wanna be visible up in the biggest arenas You've got a part in the genius All of the pride is egregious Not even hollering "Jesus!" Ay, [climbing so much peak?] I'm in the zone I might never get a Grammy just to put my people on Probably pick a iller beat to get the heathens gone Then I teach 'em secrets [?] Then I'm preaching Jesus 'til the demons gone Holy, holy, holy from a [?] stance Used the underhand for the upper hand See my dog catch a body, call it Son of Sam Flip that celly, call up Papi, do the shmoney dance God told me "Sonny, don't play the odds You don't gotta stray, why you play the fraud? Now you gotta pray, you don't play the dog You ain't gotta worry, you the man of God" [Hook: Jered Sanders] Gotta thank God every morning Though they tryna cut me off I be lifting my opponent, I'm so Blessed Coming back, nah I don't want it Lotta blessing coming down, so I'm living in the moment, I'm so Blessed Man I never would've made it, I'm so Blessed Even when it's hard to fake it, I'm so Blessed Even when I'm kinda jaded, I'm so Blessed I'm so Blessed [Sample] "Mmmm" "Come on, Bishop!" "Mmmm" "Yeah" "Mmmm, mmmm" "Listen" "Let it go, let--"
