Zi - Blessings lyrics
[Verse 1: Zi] She was half black half white eyes kind of blue grey He was about to lose his job but fought and got a new raise Thank God they can finally move in a new place After 10 years at the 10th floor elevator broken every 2 days See this is for to the warriors who never lose faith It's never too late f** what you say Reminiscing Fugees and the Wu days When I had to be reminded of the toothbrush and the toothpaste My father wasn't satisfied with the number 2 place I guess that's why I'm determined not to lose man Plus I got more to talk about Than my new rims and my new chain This is for the kids who never packed a suitcase I've been in pain and I've seen pain Our situation's like a beggar ‘cause it needs change [Chorus: Zi] Count your blessings don't expect anything from God We keep pushing making moves ‘till the day we die And if one day they see us at the top Tell ‘em we fought for every single thing we got Count your blessings don't expect anything from God We keep pushing making moves ‘till the day we die And if one day they see us at the top Tell ‘em we fought for every single thing we got [Verse 2: Zi] Just lost my car in a f**ing stupid accident Just lost a good girl ‘cause all I cared about was smashing it When it rains it pours I can't be mad at this So I'm bumping Jaheim to remind me that I'm fabulous I'm shooting for the stars trying to pull the right triggers ‘Cause looking back on my future past I wanna see some nice pictures And I won't judge you but you ain't gotta be a part time stripper They throw kids in this world with no direction like a blind pitcher I been doing this for years and I'm still not a dime richer You can have talent on your team but time is not with you It's funny how I use to believe in Santa Claus and sh** And now just believing in myself is like a constant quiz Sometimes I'm feeling down sometimes I'm confident I can't fight d**h but I can fight for the life I wanna live [Chorus: Zi] Count your blessings don't expect anything from God We keep pushing making moves ‘till the day we die And if one day they see us at the top Tell ‘em we fought for every single thing we got Count your blessings don't expect anything from God We keep pushing making moves ‘till the day we die And if one day they see us at the top Tell ‘em we fought for every single thing we got [Verse 3: Zi] If life is a movie let me keep the footage So I can look back on all the work I've put in The choices I made and can I see what else I could've been Have I gotten close to what I should've been It's funny how today's losers use to be the coolest kids ‘Cause back then you either knew how to fight or had the newest sh** Needles on the floor you learn about what they do with this Yo what's up with the people that I grew up with Let me see what they've become Oh sh** they got a son They've been together since high school they got that love What's up with him for real he's still on the run Can't believe she got that position use to be so dumb Damn all these people never left the block Damn she became a cop Yall need to stop me I can go on and on sh** that sh** can make a song of its own [Chorus: Zi] Count your blessings don't expect anything from God We keep pushing making moves ‘till the day we die And if one day they see us at the top Tell ‘em we fought for every single thing we got Count your blessings don't expect anything from God We keep pushing making moves ‘till the day we die And if one day they see us at the top Tell ‘em we fought for every single thing we got
