Blessings
(专辑: As Far As The Stars - 2021)
[Tom MacDonald:] My mama always told me, "You do what you gotta do" And there's nothing in this world that I
love as much as you I
just wanna see you smile, and I
hate to see you stressing You should probably count your blessings My mama always told me, "You do what you gotta do" Boy, there ain't no shame in losing, just don't ever break the
rules Don't be following no trends, just do what you think is cool Take a
bullet for your friends if they'd do the
same for you, I
said, "Hell yeah, mama" Daddy always told me that one day I'd be a
star Make the
money and don't let the
money make who you are Well, keep your enemies close and then attack from afar Don't put the
knife in they back while you stab 'em right in the
heart I
turned my lessons to blessings, I
never switch I
don't shoot unless I'm ready to fully empty the
clip I
see my sister in my mind every time that I
start to trip And I
remember it ain't worth it to die over petty shit, that shit is blessings I
ain't stressing getting rich I'll be flexing when I'm running 'round the
crib with my kids Don't need a
million-dollar drip or the
fanciest whip I
need my family and my friends, the
rest is what it is [Tom MacDonald & Nova Rockafeller:] This shit is blessings, dawg Everything that you hate, that got in your way That shit was lessons, dawg There's gonna be pain, but you'll be okay 'Cause this shit is blessings, life full of lessons Should've had dead ends in every direction This shit is blessings, dawg You ain't in the
grave, you woke up today [Brandon Hart:] Feel like I'm losing my religion, I've been losing myself Drink another fifth of whiskey, only thing that'll help Yeah, I'm tryna count my blessings, but I'm drowning in doubt With a
couple bucks in my pocket, I
can figure this out But oh no, the
rents do and the
car note too Sitting here, drinking, thinking with blue-collar blues And it's, uh, amazing that I
made it this far When I'm pissed, get to tripping and look up at the
stars, like I'm really just a
speckle of dust Spinning on a
blue marble, man, that's blessings enough, but It's hard to know who you can trust When the
snakes and the
roaches look the
same when they dressed up Ayy, I
never claimed to be a
saint I
envision what I'm living to let the
universe paint Like wait, let me say it while I'm here If I
focus on my blessings, the
problems, they disappear [Tom MacDonald & Nova Rockafeller:] This shit is blessings, dawg Everything that you hate, that got in your way That shit was lessons, dawg There's gonna be pain, but you'll be okay 'Cause this shit is blessings, life full of lessons Should've had dead ends in every direction This shit is blessings, dawg You ain't in the
grave, you woke up today [Nova Rockafeller:] Everybody's saying they're blessed, right? Like they're out there living their best lives Leave out the
bit about the
bad nights Choose to forget all the
hard fights What you know about being blessed? Never lost it all in the
middle of a
mess, like Ain't about having money for the
flex It's being happy with whatever you can get [Tom MacDonald & Nova Rockafeller:] This shit is blessings, dawg Everything that you hate, that got in your way That shit was lessons, dawg There's gonna be pain, but you'll be okay 'Cause this shit is blessings, life full of lessons Should've had dead ends in every direction This shit is blessings, dawg You ain't in the
grave, you woke up today
