Oo
I'm said to be a blessing in disguise
I'm said to be a gift
If you lived the way I did
I promise this gift wouldn't look like bliss
Trust it's a nightmare to convince myself that there's a purpose to this
This life you've chosen to live
I'm said to be a blessing in disguise
I'm said to be a blessing in disguise
While yall were given lemons I, oh I was given limes
Add as much sugar as you'd like
In the end you'll still find
A lemon is not a lime
I'm said to be a blessing in disguise
I'm said to be a blessing in disguise
I'm said to be a blessing in disguise
I'm said to be a blessing in disguise
I'd rather be a lime, embracing who I am inside
I'm said to be a blessing in disguise
The song "ID" by Z.D.S. is about embracing who you are even if you feel like you are different from everyone else. The singer uses the metaphor of a lime to represent this idea. Despite being different from lemons, limes are still valuable and unique in their own way. The singer relates this to their own life, feeling like they are a "blessing in disguise" even though they may not fit into society's expectations or norms.
The lyrics "If you lived the way I did, I promise this gift wouldn't look like bliss" suggest that the singer's life has been difficult and they have faced challenges, but they still see their uniqueness as a gift. The line "But inside all you feel are unlived pieces you have missed" suggests that the singer may have regrets or things they wish they could have done differently, but ultimately they are embracing who they are.
The song encourages listeners to embrace their own uniqueness and not try to conform to societal expectations. The repetition of "I'm said to be a blessing in disguise" emphasizes the importance of accepting who you are, even if others may not see your worth.
