Blessed
Redrama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But nowadays I know that I got what I prayed for kid
Been a lot of borrowing money
A lot of sorrow, so trust me
I know seeing tomorrow is lucky
Been a lot of friend's sofas
Man, I know I owe you
Way of the city, ain't a lot of friend sober
And I never was a hungry child
Got people who would back me up, no matter what
When I break and feel I had enough of bad luck
I'm blessed 'cause my family stuck right by me even the times when I got arrogant as fuck
These couple a things, they need to be said
'Cause whatever life brings one day I'll be dead
But I'm here now doing the best I can
No question, 'cause of all a you a blessed man
Yes, yes, yes I am
Appreciate all that I got
No question
Yes, yes, yes a blessed man
Say what I mean I ain't no yes-man
So if I die today, was it bad odds
A bad day, a bad world or a bad God?
But I'm alive today
So I'm a be the best damn man I can
I'm a blessed man
Like turning my phone off for two whole days
Like the doctor telling you: you OK
Now Red a be taking deep breaths
'Cause I'm blessed like a negative HIV test
Blessed like seeing my man Matsku walk
Blessed when hearing my man Matsku talk
Eating good and sleeping late and my girl calling, telling me she's waiting naked
My brother almost breaking his neck, a car crash
I'm blessed though I'm two months late on my rent
Hate to repent
But do it every change I get
Live in the moment 'cause I hate to regret
I woke up today that's enough for me
I grew up in a sub terrain
Seeing what I got was half the battle
I turned my half empty glass of beer to half full
And I say it loud
Yes, yes, yes I am
Appreciate all that I got
No question
Yes, yes, yes a blessed man
Say what I mean I ain't no yes-man
So if I die today, was it bad odds
A bad day, a bad world or a bad God?
But I'm alive today
So I'm a be the best damn man I can
I'm a blessed man
Jee, mä synnyin pitkänäperjantain terveenä lapsena
Joka siunattiin kirkossa kasteella
Kakskytneljä vuotta jo saanu tääl astella
Ja joku vahtii ja ohjaa mun askelta
Ilman sädekehää saati siipii kävelen tääl
Joka hetki on laina ja sitä vähennetään
En oo kiittämätön, hyvii ja huonoi aikoi
Mut en edelleenkään kenenkään kans vaihtas paikkoi
Sillä mennään, joka päivä niinku vikaa päivää
Kokemukset tekee räkänokast viisaan äijän
Oon saanu paljon enemmän ku mitä pyysinkään
Pärjään yksin, muttei tarvi olla yksinään
Siunattu ystävillä, perheellä ympärillä
Ja kahellakymmenelneljällä synttärillä
Mä teen parhaani enkä aio tyytyy vähempään
Mä oon siunattu mies siihen asti kunnes lähen täält
Yes, yes, yes I am
Appreciate all that I got
No question
Yes, yes, yes a blessed man
Say what I mean I ain't no yes-man
So if I die today, was it bad odds
A bad day, a bad world or a bad God?
But I'm alive today
So I'm a be the best damn man I can
I'm a blessed man

And I say it loud
I proclaim my gratitude proudly
Kakskytneljä vuotta jo saanu tääl astella
I have been able to walk on this earth for twenty-four years now
Ja joku vahtii ja ohjaa mun askelta
Someone is watching over me and guiding my steps
Ilman sädekehää saati siipii kävelen tääl
I walk here without a halo or wings
Joka hetki on laina ja sitä vähennetään
Every moment is borrowed and eventually decreases
En oo kiittämätön, hyvii ja huonoi aikoi
I am not ungrateful during both good and bad times
Mut en edelleenkään kenenkään kans vaihtas paikkoi
However, I still would not trade places with anyone
Sillä mennään, joka päivä niinku vikaa päivää
We proceed every day as if it were our last
Kokemukset tekee räkänokast viisaan äijän
Experiences make even the most inexperienced person wise
Oon saanu paljon enemmän ku mitä pyysinkään
I have received much more than what I asked for
Pärjään yksin, muttei tarvi olla yksinään
I can manage on my own, but I don't have to be alone
Siunattu ystävillä, perheellä ympärillä
I am blessed to have friends and family around me
Ja kahellakymmenelneljällä synttärillä
And with twenty-four birthdays
Mä teen parhaani enkä aio tyytyy vähempään
I will do my best and will not settle for less
Mä oon siunattu mies siihen asti kunnes lähen täält
I am a blessed man until the day I leave this world

Yeah mayn he´s a good rapper, but I disagree with your claim that his productions are bad maybe they were partly on his first album Everyday Soundtrack but the productions on Street Music are simply banging Quality for real no doubt.. check it out it, cop Street Music download or buy whatever, the new shit he´s made like that single Music is ok but more commercial
