Blessing It
Nujabes feat. Substantial & Pase Rock Lyrics

Each one, teach one, we reach on
We strive to learn and grow together, extending our knowledge and skills.

Maryland and Cincinnati to the far east son
We spread our message and influence across the United States and beyond.

And we just begun to spread the gospel
We have so much more to share and are just getting started in our mission to spread positivity and truth.

Substantial, Pase Rock, hip hop apostles
We are leaders and representatives of hip hop culture, sharing its message and values with the world.

Far from preachin with this art you call rappin
We communicate our message through music and art, rather than preaching or lecturing.

Takin y'all back to before this all happened
We strive to return to the days when hip hop was rooted in community, positivity, and creativity.

Frontin hardcore when you barely soft porn
You're putting on a facade of strength and toughness, but in reality, you lack depth and substance.

Never penetratin the inner to get your heart warm
You're not taking the time to explore your true feelings and emotions, and as a result, you lack genuine warmth and empathy.

Rock on, at the ridiculous pace
We continue to push forward and create at a rapid speed.

Disrespect hip hop and I'll spit in your face
We are passionate and protective of hip hop culture and its values, and will not tolerate any disrespect towards it.

These pitiful wastes of oxygen, it's madness
People who disrespect hip hop and its values are a waste of space and energy, and it's crazy to see so much negativity towards such a positive culture.

Get in your case, and all your shit, like back checks
We will call out and challenge those who disrespect hip hop, and expose them for who they truly are.

Got my eye on ya, like insanity grabbed ya
We are paying close attention to those who disrespect hip hop, watching them like a hawk.

Y'all seedy packagin, and I can't stand rappin
You're presenting a false and inauthentic image through your music, and we refuse to support it.

You're bound to get ripped, and then turned into garbage
If you continue to disrespect hip hop and its values, you will ultimately face consequences and be disregarded as irrelevant.

I stay blessin mics, my followers pay homage
We continue to spread positivity and truth through our music, and are grateful for the support and appreciation of our fans.

Five Deez forever you know we stay blessin it
The group Five Deez will always spread positivity and truth through their music.

On point like the pens we write with
We are always sharp and precise, like the pens we use to write our lyrics.

Livin righteous, in these times of peril and crisis
We are striving to live morally and ethically, especially during difficult times of danger and uncertainty.

The pain'll squeeze you lifeless, dead, what's the matter who's the nicest
Difficult and painful experiences can be overwhelming and debilitating, and in these moments, it doesn't matter who's the most talented or skilled.

Who's alive, who's gonna live to see their life
It's uncertain who will survive and thrive in life, and who will not.

Hopefully me, my lifeline a MC
The singer hopes that their career as a musician (an MC) will be their lifeline and source of success and prosperity.

Extends past paying dues how much it cost to be free
Being successful and free in life requires more than just financial payments or dues; it requires hard work, dedication, and investing in oneself.

Deep-rooted underground, but on the surface a tree
Our values and message are rooted in underground hip hop culture, but our influence and impact extend outward and reach many people.

Branchin out, all I ever really wanted to be
We strive to expand our reach and impact, and pursue our dreams of success and spreading positivity and truth.

They want to put us in a box, and then pack it away
Some people in the music industry want to limit our creativity and influence, and categorize us in a small box or genre, and then discard us.

But we ain't havin that, no pause, no which way
We refuse to be boxed in or limited, and will continue to create and spread our message in our own way and direction.

Yo I'm goin to the top and that's where I stay
The artist is determined and confident in their ability to achieve success and stay on top.

Fuck the middle ground, poor, gettin biz while you was sittin down
We are focused on achieving greatness and success, and will not settle for mediocrity or complacency.

The joint sound hittin now, freestyle'a written down
We are creating and performing music that is both impromptu and well-crafted, reflecting our spontaneity and skill.

Your flow's played out money you need to get that shit a style
Your music and style are outdated and unoriginal; you need to find your own unique style and sound.

Speedy on the quick fast, long term we make it last
We are quick and efficient in our work, but also committed to long-term success and sustainability.

Forever and a day stay clear on the path cuz yo
We will always stay focused and directed towards our goals and values, no matter how long it takes to achieve them.

Children of the sun look out here we come
We are coming forward and bringing our message of positivity and truth to the world, like children of the sun.

Live in Brooklyn, Maryland's where I'm from
We come from diverse and unique backgrounds, but are united in our mission to spread positivity through our music.

The beat don't stop, 'til you've had enough
Our music and message will continue to play and resonate with our audience, until they have fully internalized and embraced it.

Five Deez, UV, connect that's what's up
Our groups, Five Deez and UV, are connected and united in our mission to spread positivity and truth through hip hop music.

We are spreading our message and performing music across the mid-west and the West Coast of the United States.

Testin this, doubt it
We are pushing ourselves and testing our abilities and potential, despite any doubts or obstacles we may face.

Mic specialist son, we have events crowded
We are skilled and experienced musicians, and are able to draw large crowds and audiences to our performances.

As nice as you wish you were
We are just as talented and skilled as you wish you could be.

Good mics are my signature
Our quality and skill in using microphones to perform is one of our defining characteristics and strengths.

I thought you said this shit is hot
We are calling out those who claimed our music was bad or unimpressive, and challenging them to reconsider their opinion.

It's barely room temperature
In reality, our music is cool and underappreciated, like something that is just slightly warmer than room temperature.

We scorch it, we torturing cats from Cincinnati to New York
We are creating and performing music that is so hot and intense that it drives our audience crazy, from the mid-west to the East Coast of the United States.

And back, word to Pat, don't say jack
We are not only reaching people across the United States, but also gaining support and appreciation from people like Pat (likely a reference to a friend or fellow musician).

When we bankrupt your crew from spinnin the wheel of fortune, black
We are defeating and triumphing over our competitors and opponents, like how someone can lose all their money on the game show Wheel of Fortune.

We take you there and send you walkin back
We are taking our audience on a journey and experience through our music, and sending them back into the world with a renewed sense of positivity and truth.
