On “Fall on Me”, Guvna teams up with grime heavyweight Wretch 32 for one of the biggest collaborations of the album.
Over a smooth piano beat and gospel-style vocals from frequent collaborator Teni Tinks, the duo rap about the problems of their lives and society, wishing for blessings to fall down o...
[Verse 1: Guvna B]
Sometimes it feels like I don't belong here
It's been a long year
Hands are made for working and we gettin' dirty
I've been noticing the traps, cause they set em' early
It's an uphill struggle and I was never worthy
I don't know why God trusted me with this life
It's like my imperfections they've been disguised
Devil on my shoulder an he's hoping that my gift dies
We've been praying for angels over this side
I feel for this generation and I pray for wisdom
God, we've been battling failures and addictions
Racism, kids rotting in prison
Trapped in a system, it's like we've lost vision
I ain't got the answers
Feels like I'll cop out when I say I pray about
Cause times are getting harder but I feel a sense of comfort when I'm talking to the Father
Or when I'm out of words, I don't complain
I'd rather say this
[Chorus: Guvna B, Teni Tinks, both]
Blessings fall on me
Blessings fall on me
Blessings fall on me
Like good things fall on me (I need your touch)
Blessings fall on me (Fall down, on me)
Blessings fall on me
Blessings fall on me
Good things fall on me
[Verse 2: Guvna B]
I do this till I 'ffect change
That's why I picked a pen and pad in the first place
Helps me on my worst days
And I've learnt that people relate to pain
Guess everyone wants to know that they not alone in the rain
And I get that
We're all praying for a jetpack
So that we can step back and fly over the set backs
I'm on my Sam Cooke
It's been a long time coming but a change is gonna come and I rep that
But it's tough when I look into my mother's eyes
To summarize, she ain't been the same since her husband died
Truth is, neither have I
All my brother like, "Soon enough, see him on the other side."
Till then we gotta look at the positives
There's power in the one that we're following
I guess that's enough
And mum, of course I'll give you my love
But it's nothing like the love from above
So mum say this
[Chorus: Guvna B, Teni Tinks, both]
Blessings fall on me
Blessings fall on me (Blessings fall down on me)
Blessings fall on me
Like good things fall on me (Like good things fall down on me)
Blessings fall on me (Fall down on me)
Blessings fall on me
Blessings fall on me
Good things fall on me (Fall down on me)
[Verse 3: Wretch 32]
Too blessed to ever stress I guess
Yeah, too blessed to ever stress I guess
My mother done more praying for me than she done for herself
And if she kept the receipts, I would owe her the world
And I'm blessed
I see a power and a strength from my girl
Guess the apple wasn't far from the tree when it fell
And we plant seeds hoping that the fruit has beauty of the palm trees
Hoping that their drive ain't determined by car keys
Hoping that their sight sees beyond what they can't see
Hope they know that it's real when they feel what they can't reach
Counting my blessings, I'm reaching higher numbers
Turn my L's into lessons, that how I'm finding comfort
The Lord sees my halo cause he's in my circumference
Stop pree'in' my jewelry and tryna fire judgement when the—
[Chorus: Guvna B, Teni Tinks, both]
Blessings fall on me
Blessings fall on me (Blessings fall down on me)
Blessings fall on me (I need you)
Like good things fall on me (Blessings fall on me)
Blessings fall on me
Blessings fall on me
Blessings fall on me
Good things fall on me (Fall down on me)

This song was a moment for me. Wretch 32 is one of the greatest lyricists this country has seen and I respect what he stands for. He’s about the music and the message. This song is out to mumsy, grandma, pops and all the olders that really held us down; providing a stable home, giving us drive and a...
