Blessed & Highly Favored
Snoop Dogg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He brought me through hard trials
He brought me through tribulations
Never let a day go by and not realize
Had not been for the Lord who was on my side
Back was against the wall
He looked out for me
He heard my cry and rescued me
Never let a day go by and not realize we are blessed

Don't take it for granted that we are here today
Just know that we're blessed and highly favored
Just know that we're blessed and highly favored

He brought me through hard trials
He brought me through tribulations
Never let a day go by and not realize
Had not been for the Lord who was on my side
Back was against the wall
He looked out for me
He heard my cry and rescued me
Never let a day go by and not realize we are blessed

Don't take it for granted that we are here today
Just know that we're blessed and highly favored
Just know that we're blessed and highly favored

As I look back through the years
It's amazing how He got me
What the devil mean't for evil
God turned it around
Turned it around just for my good
I know that I am blessed and highly favored
Just know that we're blessed and highly favored

Let us think about it for a minute

God actually hates, you know that right?

Proverbs 6:16-19

There are six things that the Lord hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who sows discord among brothers.

if you are not right before God, constantly repenting, and seeking him diligently, you are considered His enemy.
James 4:4 (NTL)
You adulterers! Don't you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God.

He loves you in the sense that He is being patient enough for you to turn AWAY from your wickedness and seek the light. He is hoping that you turn your life over to Him. But as long as you keep living life without a care in the world and you don't live for Him, you, unfortunately are His enemy. Many who think God loves them even in their wickedness are going to have a very surprising time of their eternal lives when they see that what they believed in was a lie. Yes, God loves but He also hates. If He loved "EVERYONE", hell would not exist.
Come to Jesus the only one the could truly save you on that day of Judgement.

Just because this man has made this garbage of an album, doesn't mean he is blessed and highly favored by the One True God. He is blessed by his father, the devil. You're either the son of God or of the devil. How do I know? Let's see what the Bible says about being the children, sons and daughters of God:

John 1:12-13 NKJV
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John 8:44-45NKJV
You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

If people live their lives with hate, wickedness, covetousness, malice, pride etc.. you are showing who your true dad is, and he loves for you to think that God loves everybody and that everyone is going to heaven, when he-the devil is out to destroy you because he hates you. you as well as everyone that loves this disgusting man and album need to wake up! Jesus is coming very soon and many will be very terrified when they see that their name is NOT written in the Book of Life!

BrownsugaKO77 Say it again for those folks who have selective hearing. Who ain't secular/ spiritual out here praising 'papuh'; fruitful labor is the name of the game for most of us 'lowly, sin-laden, fleshlings'.
It's funny, if my personal demon shows up in a guise I like, I ain't got nothin' to say but if someone else's imperfect profile is revealed I'm quicker than liquor to forget my own seductive indiscretions. Ain't that somethin', LOL?!
Only difference is I'm a HOT MESS on the low but my 'vision' only becomes pointed when my gaze ventures outward.
Conventional commerce and the 'bizniss' of church has always been a blatantly bold but slippery tradition to address.
Musicians, ministers of music and especially singers with musical ministry need dividends to survive this ' natural experience' as Donald Lawrence fans know oh so well, lol.
So the real on the money hustle is serious for both Snoop, The Clarke Sisters, Fred, Rance, Kim Burrell and the rest of the collaborators.
And as you mentioned, upright Christian soldiers ' in the army of the Lord' have with impressive stealth explored the carnal advantages of 'leadership' amongst their devoted significantly single-female congregants.
And yet in the eyes of most seemingly biblically- woke folks, their repeated slip betwixt the lower lips of sistuhs don't make them unworthy of God's redemption, consecration, anointing, blessing and continued FAVOR.
Can everyone say, "Favor ain't fair. The devil tried to kill me...but God. I said, but God." ( insert giggles and laughs here if you're too familiar with his convenient irony )
Let us not get so wrapped up in the nonsense of emotion and tradition we lose our literal sense of sight.
Like you alluded, there is no diminishing of Snoop's intention to 'do good' than it is the local 'spiritual gangstuh' pimpin' Jesus to get some " papuh n' some pussy."
Thank you for your posting.

Good Job Snoop, There are plenty of people who have never heard of these gospel artists but will listen to them because your name is on the album. Praise God for advancement of His message!!

Yvette Renee

Raquel Williams, Yes, but it works both ways. Christians are going to check out Snoop's music which may cause some to stumble. I think they should've taken that into consideration. We don't want to lose even one soul, in order to gain more followers. ❀

Dominique S.

Amen thank God for that

F.C. Laney

Yvette Renee ik I’m late but for a believer, a stumble is nothing but a test of faith. For Snoop fans who would’ve never looked for this classic song or legendary group, this song is a blessing! Snoop brought the church to us and made it accepting and exciting while still sending the message, WE ARE BLESSEDπŸ™πŸΎ

Hello, 7th God

facts, I've seen comments on other songs where people were condemning him like bruh y'all might need to meditate on the word this is exactly what reformation is!

Iamdaviontatum

Trust, The Legendary Clark Sisters are well known! Karen Clark Sheard is the greatest singer of all time and they are world renown for their gospel music!

Official Kamani Batista

Karen is my favorite Clark sister. She did all the runs, all the riffs, and all the echoes.
