Artist: Nas
Song: Count Your Blessings
Album: Distant Relatives
Year: 2010
And IâÂÂve got studios to write in(?)
And IâÂÂve got news for rejoicing
Now a new sun is rising
I count my blessings
That IâÂÂm safe when IâÂÂm resting
Furniture in my nesting
But by force IâÂÂm suggesting
Ya count your blessings
I've got love and assurance
I've got new health insurance
And IâÂÂve got strength and endurance
So I count my blessings
And give thanks to the master
That you are the disaster
WeâÂÂre still here together after
Better count your blessings
Cause yo this year, canâÂÂt wait âÂÂtil it gets here
7-20-109 my first song will shine
And itâÂÂs amazing IâÂÂm about to be raisinâÂÂ
Another main man and like his dad theyâÂÂll praise him
And some will hate him, just cause we buildinâ a nation
(?)
The world will embrace him, girlsâÂÂll chase him
Forsee, they will not break him
And when IâÂÂm not around, you look for God and thank him
And IâÂÂve got somewhere to dress for,
And IâÂÂve got no need to stress for
And so IâÂÂll always put my best forth
And count my blessings
And theyâÂÂll be no need for tissues
âÂÂCause there will be no further issues
If you got someone who miss you,
Man, count your blessings.
I've got love and assurance
I've got new health insurance
And IâÂÂve got strength and endurance
So I count my blessings
And give thanks to the master
That you are the disaster
WeâÂÂre still here together after
Better count your blessings
You wishinâ you were sittinâ in the top position
Picture perfect, nothing less âÂÂcause you deserve it
Without the Hermes, youâÂÂd have a hurtinâÂÂ
You knew that you was destined for greatness, for certain
You see the over-zealous, they be thirstinâÂÂ, caught up in emotion
You keepinâ your composure like Gershwin
Songs by Earth Wind keep you in the zone, writing verses
So when your pocketâÂÂs light, know that you have a heavy purpose
WeâÂÂve got Sunday school and daycare
WeâÂÂve got pension and welfare
And though not all will play the game fair
Still I count my blessings
IâÂÂve joy in abundance
IâÂÂve got life full of substance
IâÂÂve got meetings and functions
So I count my blessings
IâÂÂve got something to live for
IâÂÂve got surplus to give more
And weâÂÂre all welcome through His door
So I count my blessings
And give thanks to the master
That you are the disaster
WeâÂÂre still here together after
So I count my blessings
I think you lookinâ too hard for
With the double law? under your garage door
Appreciate the things you work hard for
Hey, count your blessings
Count your blessings
So donâÂÂt be mad if you ainâÂÂt fly yâÂÂall
You got the means to reach the level IâÂÂm on
You should know thereâÂÂs only one Nas yâÂÂall
But count your blessings, count your blessings
And IâÂÂve got studios to write in(?)
And IâÂÂve got news for rejoicing
Now a new sun is rising
I count my blessings
That IâÂÂm safe when IâÂÂm resting
Furniture in my nesting
But by force IâÂÂm suggesting
Ya count your blessings
I've got love and assurance
I've got new health insurance
And IâÂÂve got strength and endurance
So I count my blessings
And give thanks to the master
That you are the disaster
WeâÂÂre still here together after
Better count your blessings
