Anthony D (Verse 1):
I’m thinkin back to the day we met
Lil Puerto Rican wit a puffed chest
He said my name is Blessed
And I like to say I rap
But nobody listens and then
They go and turn their back
Shit Is whack
Before we did any music
We’d talk about the struggle
About how he became a criminal
But not by causin trouble
He said I got a way w words
Express it through the spit
Bout how nobody gives a fuck
That’s why I’m gonna quit
And I couldn’t deal
Because he had the spinnin wheels
And every time he got on the mic
The shit got real
I was sitting tattin him w ink
Thinking it’s amazing
How this old soul thinks
And that he’s meant to preach
It was the depth of his thoughts
He wore em on his sleeve
But he could never catch a break
It sadly brought him to his knees
One of the good ones
Hangin on that lack of support
Reppin that Nipsey
When his life cut short
But now I’m sitting trippin
Watching the hype
But they don’t understand
This shit ain’t right
Member the king n queen
N talk about the prince
But I don’t understand
You knew the reason to live
Another legend
We just lost in the wind
Because cops out here at it again
But damn he was my fried
I hope you listen now
See that he was one of the best
Thank you for being in my life
That’s why #ImBlessed

When you’re lost
And cans be found
And your troubles
Keep you down
Just remember,
I’m Blessed
You’re Blessed
We’re Blessed
When your hurt or feeling down
Don’t forget, we need you around
I’m Blessed
Tell me, Why Blessed

Mike Smoove (Verse 2)
I fall down, …but I get up again
Baby I just brush it off, and maybe it’s my melanin
Maybe I was raised, where there wasn’t a place for sentiment
Maybe I’m concealin’ shit, but please don’t think I’m negative
No matter what you dealin wit, you better find the lesson
You gotta find a smile, it’s too easy to see depression
…Everybody got a PLACE and every PERSON got a PURPOSE
All the PAIN is temporary, don’t you QUESTION if your WORTH IT
[MAN I’M TIRED…] My Nigga I’m tired too!
Of course I’m sick & tired, but you see the shit I’m tied too?!
I do it for my brothas, Man I do it for my daughter
Do it for my peeps that passed & or they Ain’t got they shit in order
The one that’s laughing loudest, prolly tryna decompress.
Prolly need an ear to listen, or a healthy place to vent
I got a small request, the next time that you’re stressed,
Put your hand on your chest, thank the Lord & tell ya’self I’m blessed
