Nicolay - The Blessing lyrics

[Verse 1: SouL] There's been alot that's goin' on In the life and times, uh You're probably gonna hear it Up in the ryhmes, uh but Black Thought told me to Maintain my grip for just a little bit Keep it steady 'Breathe And Stop' with 'Tip I've done the dumb collaborations with the zeros and Experienced the let downs of some of my heroes But I learned from the mistakes in the past Emotional first degree There's bringin' out the very best and worst of me I'm thirsty see, for that somethin' new, somethin' real Aretha Franklin type give me somethin' I can feel But still, gotta keep my focused on the "who I am" And "what I do" "what I'm all about" and "who I do it through" Did some complainin' through the reign of mental stress and strain Try to maintain from all these MCs who won't use the brain Still sayin' its a shame, to be so tight when writing Steady [?] But you can't enlighten The brothers come with weak attempts Like Martin Lawrence in Black Knight They get upset when we be callin' 'em wack, right In my opinion, it's time to be what we cannot see on MTV I'm with [?] Let's talk about some beautiful change a lil' bit And cancel negativity and all that other stuff you was expecting Cause all thats left in Cause and effect after the d**h And strife is life And thats what im all about, affectin' [Bridge] Yo, to my man strugglin' with the 9 to 5 Back out at 8 to work another job I bless your life And to my brother 'bout to finish up his bid The mama all alone raisin' her kids I bless your life To my sister waitin' for her heart to heal That beggar tryin' to find a decent meal Yo, I bless you life To everybody going through Yo, I'm tellin' you to maintain Is what you gotta do So, i bless your life [Verse 2: SouL] It's hard to fathom [?] And never insignifique sounds of science Our everyday of reliance While we wake up Sometimes it's seemingly only to take up hydrogen and oxygen Get dressed, put on my socks again Tie up my laces and again walk through the traces I did yesterday Openin' up my mouth but never speaking what is best to say Fester away my purpose under guys who know my hocus pocus Not knowin' that this mediocrity was sent to choke us Can you imagine all the goodness that we take for granted Misled and misplanted by the words we said before The blind, for sure leadin' the blind While others spyin' There, some are sleepin' While their nappin', God is rappin' Tappin' at your chamber door Tappin' the [?] To see the visions unseen And voices unheard Confirming in the then from the now When I say word, I mean (word) Things will get better and (word) Tomorrows brighter and (word) You make a difference in the day The night [?] You're going to make it (no doubt) Yo, you can take it just a little longer You can't be [?] cause you're stronger than you think you are Yo, you can do it star Yo, you can do it star Yo, you can do it star [Bridge] And to that lady who just lost her one and only To cats thats feelin' down and kinda lonely I bless your life And to my sister trying turn her life around That's strugglin' to put the pipe down I bless your life And to the younguns listenin' to all the voices Tryna think of all the proper choices I bless your life To everybody going through Yo, I'm telling you to maintain Is what you gotta do So, I bless your life, life Keep your head up Don't you let up, yo It's a set up You gotta get up So, I bless your life I bless your life I bless your life I bless your life Aye, yo, yo, keep your head up Don't you let up, uh It's a set up You gotta get up So, I bless your life I bless your life I bless your life I bless your life Out [Outro] To my man Nicolay To my man Supastition [?] [?] To my man DJ Hush Justus League rock on [?] on and keep it moving [?] on and keep it moving [?] on and keep it moving
