[Intro: Braille]
Yeah, and everybody wants a blessing
But do you know who the blessed are?
Everybody wants a blessing
(We gon' bless, let's go) Yeah
OnBeat!
[Verse 1: Braille]
Yeah, I hold the mic like a memory
And I pray for my enemies, yeah
Yeah, I even do it on bended knees
With both eyes closed, now that's some vulnerability
My memoir will be written in bars
With beats knockin' so hard it'd got you seeing stars
In the heavens is where my possessions are
Take what I have, I've got more in the reservoir
Don't stall treasures where moth and rust get them
Bitten by the snake, but immune to the venom
Might look a little worn, like a pair of washed denim (Pure [?])
I've been washed by the crusher of the devil
Coming like a thief and his score gets settled
The Lord is my shepherd, I sleep in green meadows, uh
Peacemaker, fightin' for faith gates
The hell won't prevail, be patient and wait, what?
[Chorus: Braille]
Yeah, 'cause everybody wants a blessing
But do you know who the blessed are?
(Blessed are those— Jesus is the Christ—)
(We gon' bless)
Everybody wants a blessing
But do you know who the blessed are?
(Blessed are those— Jesus is the Christ—)
(We gon' bless)
[Verse 2: Braille]
One time, it's like this, yeah
Born again and I'm mourn over sin
I just was in the world, but also was within
Poor in Spirit, I can't make amends
Yet, the Lord says that I'm blessed (Amen!)
I've found a man of sorrows in a land of bravado
With a hearty cursed guard with the breath that they borrow
I seek first His Kingdom, not anxious for tomorrow
But I know hope deferred is a hard pill to swallow
Thirsty for righteousness, it's so dry in this desert
Desperate voices cryin' out in the wilderness
We will find what we seek
And the Earth will be inherited by the meek, yeah
Yeah, bhe narrow road can be lonely
But I could be lowly without sayin' "Woe is me"
Even when persecutors wrong you
Remember what Kingdom you belong to
[Chorus: Braille]
Yeah, 'cause everybody wants a blessing
But do you know who the blessed are?
(Blessed are those— Jesus is the Christ—)
(We gon' bless)
Everybody wants a blessing
But do you know who the blessed are?
(Blessed are those— Jesus is the Christ—)
(We gon' bless)
[Outro]
He said unto them:
"But who say he that I am?"
And Simon Peter said: "Thou art the Christ
The Son of the living God"
