Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm ready for war
I do it for sport
I kick in the door
Say less and do more
I pray to the lord
Why are you testing me dog
Yeah, I got the force
I'm feeling blessed
Yeah, aye
I'm feeling blessed
I'm feeling blessed
Yeah, aye
I'm feeling blessed
I'm ready for war
I do it for sport
I kick in the door
Say less and do more
I pray to the lord
Why are you testing me dog
I got the force
Yeah, I got the force
I'm feeling blessed
Yeah, aye
I'm feeling blessed
I'm feeling blessed
Yeah, aye
I'm feeling blessed
[Verse 1]
There's more to life than social media likes
That's why you rarely see me on the shit
I'm too busy chasing dreams
While they're trolling me
I'm checking off accomplishments
Taking trips overseas
Celebrating with the people that I started with
Good thing I never called it quits
When they called my vision Collin Kaepernick
Man, y'all don't know the half of it
Say I never struggled
Say I never had to hustle to be where I'm at
Like being homeless ain't my past
I had a mental breakdown in 2017
But it led to a better me
Hate is fueled by jealousy
And they envy out of insecurities
But I'm too blessed for comparisons
Better health
Generational wealth
And genuine love is the mode we in
I started a business
That's ownership
I do it all for the fans
I do it all 'cause I can
I get the blessing then give out the blessings
To all of my family and friends
Yeah, yeah
So why they wanna kill my vibe
Why they wanna dead my high
I just did a show
Saw a kid wearing me on his shirt
And he told me that I'm in his top 5
That ain't no lie
I remember times where I never even knew
If I was gonna get by
You can do anything you put your mind too
I swear man
All you really gotta do is try
[Chorus]
I'm ready for war
I do it for sport
I kick in the door
Say less and do more
I pray to the lord
Why are you testing me dog
I got the force
Yeah, I got the force
I'm feeling blessed
Yeah, aye
I'm feeling blessed
I'm feeling blessed
Yeah, aye
I'm feeling blessed
I'm ready for war
I do it for sport
I kick in the door
Say less and do more
I pray to the lord
Why are you testing me dog
I got the force
Yeah, I got the force
I'm feeling blessed
Yeah, aye
I'm feeling blessed
I'm feeling blessed
Yeah, aye
I'm feeling blessed
[Bridge]
Too blessed to be worried 'bout you
And all the things that you hate about me
To be honest
I'm just worried 'bout us
If it's meant to be then it will be
Too blessed to be worried 'bout you
And all the things that you hate about me
To be honest
I'm just worried 'bout us
If it's meant to be then it will
[Girl Talking]
You are everything
That you're supposed to be right at this moment
You're blessed
You're alive
(But I'd be lying to you if I told you it always felt like that)
You're healthy
You're killing it
So I'm gonna need you to smile
Do yourself a favor
Break free
(But I'd be lying to you if I told you it always felt like that)
[Verse 2]
I got a friend who struggles to be who he is
And feels like he needs to pretend to be someone else
Because of the pressure he feels
And all the love he never felt
Comparing himself to people he sees on the gram
Wishing the world gave a damn
Too blinded by everyone's highlights
Way too focused on the limelight
To see that he's blessed
It's hard to look over the stress
It's hard to look over the pain
If only he realized
That in order to grow it takes both the sun and the rain
But he wants the money and fame
'Cause he feels like happiness
Comes with monetary gain
Even though people who been there and done that
Have told him it maximizes all the weight
You feel on your shoulders as the world gets colder
Judging every move you make
And people who never used to give you time of day
Show love but it's real fake
Maybe one day he will see he's already free
With 20 dollars in his bank
'Cause he's got something money can't buy
People who love his ass anyways
D'Andre, you blessed
[D'Andre Talking]
You been blessed
So stop comparing yourself
Live your life to the fullest
Be the best version of you you can be
That's it
The song "The Force" by D'Andre Martin encapsulates a sense of strength, resilience, and gratitude in the face of challenges and adversity. The chorus sets the tone by emphasizing readiness for war, not in a literal sense, but as a metaphor for facing life's battles and obstacles. The line "I got the force" indicates a powerful inner strength and determination to overcome any obstacles that come his way.
In the first verse, D'Andre reflects on the superficiality of social media and how he prioritizes chasing his dreams and achieving personal accomplishments rather than seeking validation from others. He mentions celebrating with the people he started with, implying that he remains humble and loyal to his roots despite his success. He addresses the struggles he has faced, including being homeless and experiencing a mental breakdown. However, these challenges have ultimately led to personal growth and a better version of himself. D'Andre recognizes that hate and envy often come from others' insecurities and chooses not to engage in such comparisons.
The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the artist's readiness for war and ambition to achieve his goals. He mentions prayer and questioning why anyone would test him, expressing a reliance on a higher power for strength and guidance. The line "I got the force" conveys a sense of unwavering belief in himself and his abilities. D'Andre reaffirms his gratitude and feeling blessed throughout the song, emphasizing that his journey is not just about personal gain but about using his blessings to share and uplift his loved ones and fans.
The bridge introduces a perspective shift, highlighting the artist's indifference to what others think or say about him. D'Andre focuses on his own growth and the potential of his relationships, asserting that if something is meant to be, it will happen. The inclusion of a girl's voice reinforcing his blessings and encouraging him to smile suggests a supportive and uplifting atmosphere.
In the second verse, D'Andre shares the story of a friend struggling with self-acceptance and the pressure of societal expectations. This friend compares himself to others on social media, feeling inadequate and desiring fame and money. D'Andre advises his friend to appreciate his blessings, recognizing that true happiness comes from within and genuine relationships, rather than external validation. He urges his friend to see that growth requires both positive and challenging experiences and that monetary gain does not equate to fulfillment. D'Andre asserts that his friend is already free and loved by those who care about him.
The song concludes with D'Andre speaking directly to himself, advising himself to stop comparing and to live life to the fullest while being the best version of himself he can be. It serves as a reminder to embrace blessings, overcome obstacles, and prioritize personal growth and authenticity.

I know someone who finds it difficult to embrace and accept their true identity
And feels like he needs to pretend to be someone else
He believes that he must fake or hide his true self in order to fit in
Because of the pressure he feels

'Cause he feels like happiness comes with monetary gain
He believes that happiness is directly linked to financial success
Even though people who been there and done that
Despite the advice and experiences of those who have already achieved it
Have told him it maximizes all the weight
They informed him that it amplifies the burdens and responsibilities

The responsibilities and pressures increase as the world becomes more challenging
Judging every move you make
Everyone scrutinizes and criticizes every decision or action you take
And people who never used to give you time of day
Even those who previously ignored or dismissed him
Show love but it's real fake
Now pretend to show care or support, but it's insincere
Maybe one day he will see he's already free
Perhaps someday he will realize that he is already unburdened and liberated
With 20 dollars in his bank
Even with limited financial resources
'Cause he's got something money can't buy
He possesses something priceless and invaluable that cannot be purchased
People who love his ass anyways
He has genuine love and support from people regardless
D'Andre, you blessed
D'Andre, you are truly fortunate and favored
You been blessed
You have received numerous blessings
So stop comparing yourself
Therefore, cease comparing yourself to others
Live your life to the fullest
Embrace and enjoy every moment of your life
Be the best version of you you can be
Strive to become the most authentic and outstanding version of yourself
