The song "Blessed" by KiDi and Mavado is a hymn of gratitude to Jah (God) for blessing them with health, strength, and protection. The chorus affirms their unwavering faith in Jah's providence and their determination to overcome any challenges posed by their enemies. The first verse acknowledges that despite the enemies' malicious intentions to harm them, Jah's protection shields them from harm. Also, they seek solace in prayer when faced with adversities that may seem impossible to overcome. The second verse exudes a sense of confidence, pride, and determination to uphold righteousness and persist despite the obstacles ahead. They also warn their enemies of their impending doom if they don't change their ways.
The lyrics of "Blessed" speak to the challenges of living a post-modern life, where evil is pervasive, and true friends are few. The song's message appeals to the youth to stay steadfast in their faith, overcoming any obstacle through prayer, hard work, and commitment to righteousness. The artists draw from their roots in Ghana and Jamaica, representing the voices of two minorities that have experienced consistent marginalization. They tell stories of resilience, hard work, and persistence, reflecting on the values that have sustained their existence through the ages.
