The Blessing - NICOLAY, Soul

There’s been alot that’s goin' on in the life and times-uh

You’re probably gonna hear it up in the rhymes-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 Mohammad, Dee

Let’s talk about some beautiful change a lil' bit

And cancel negativity and all that other stuff you was expecting

'cause all that’s left in

Cause and effect after the death

And strife is life

And that’s what I’m all about, affectin'

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

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

Confirmin' 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 (word)

You’re going to make it (no doubt)

Yo, you can take it just a little longer

You can’t be faded 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 (Yo, you can do it star)

Yo, you can do it star (You can do it star)

And to that lady who just lost her one and only

To cats that’s 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
