Twista 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
