Released the day of his 15th birthday, “Blessings” has still represented a clear statement for the young Australian hip-hop artist The Kid LAROI.
In fact, throughout the song he expresses his will to live his life at full potential and achieve his most beloved goals, thanks to faith and patience.
[Intro]
I wake up and count my
I wake up and count my
[Chorus]
I wake up and count my blessings, never stressing
I wake up, I pray that God lead me in the right direction
Yeah, wake up and count my blessings, never stressing
I wake up, I pray to God hoping that he get my message, yeah
I've been on the low, low, low
I do not know, know, know
Just what I want, want, want
So got me Lord, Lord, Lord
I’ve been on the low, low, low
I do not know, know, know
Just what I want, want, want
So got me Lord, Lord, Lord
[Verse 1]
No one ever saw the vision (They didn't)
Told me I was too young, too calm in this game
But I envisioned something different
Yeah they turned me down, told me I was trippin'
Now we planning trips and plotting on the mission
And because of my age, man, there’s been division (Oh yeah)
They say pave the way, man, that's my decision
Never been forced, honestly its sickenin'
Now they making claims (They making claims)
Man that's so insane (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Talking about, "I changed" (What)
But I've been this way
They said, "Your dream's too big"
Now take a look at what I did
I'm 'bout to take over the game
No questions, boy, that’s it
I swear to God
[Chorus]
I wake up and count my blessings, never stressing
Every night, I pray to God, lead me in the right direction
Yeah, wake up and count my blessings, never stressing
I wake up, I pray to God hoping that he get my message, yeah
I been on the low, low, low
I do not know, know, know
Just what I want, want, want
So got me Lord, Lord, Lord
I been on the low, low, low
I do not know, know, know
Just what I want, want, want
So got me Lord, Lord, Lord
[Verse 2]
I know they hatin’ (I know, I know)
I pay them no attention (No, no, no no)
They trying to imitate me
But I should probably mention
There's only one little kid
Couldn’t care less about what you did
Or what you doing honestly
Too concentrated on my biz
I don't got time for their games
Don't pay no mind to these lames
I'm in my own separate lane
I mean, I’m just sayin'
I'm gonna put in honest work
I've seen how far I can get
See all the hate, it don't work
We got the platinum on set, yeah
[Chorus]
I wake up and count my blessings, never stressing
Every night, I pray to God lead me in the right direction
Yeah, wake up and count my blessings, never stressing
I wake up, I pray to God hoping that he get my message, yeah
I been on the low, low, low
I do not know, know, know
Just what I want, want, want
So got me Lord, Lord, Lord
I been on the low, low, low
I do not know, know, know
Just what I want, want, want
So got me Lord, Lord, Lord
