Blessed
ZVK Lyrics

I confess
I openly admit

Hand on the Bible
I swear on the Bible

One hand on my chest
I place one hand on my chest

Nothing but the truth when I say I’m up next
I am only speaking the truth when I say it is my turn to succeed

Looking at my life you can tell that I’m
By observing my life, you can see that I am

Run it back
Repeat it once again

I solemnly swear all I know is I’m
I sincerely promise that all I am aware of is that I am

Perfect wealth
I possess great abundance

Blessed with knowledge
I have been given the gift of wisdom

I've been blessed with perfect health
I have been fortunate to have excellent physical well-being

I know the path ain’t always straight
I am aware that the journey is not always straightforward

I know that it’s stress
I understand that it can be distressing

But I’m blessed, maybe naturally
However, I am fortunate, perhaps inherently

Actually I’m blessed with a family
In fact, I am fortunate to have a loving family

And gifted with talent I used to hide
Additionally, I have been bestowed with abilities that I used to conceal

Blessed with some brothers I know always stay by my side
I am fortunate to have brothers who consistently support me

Blessed with the ability to swallow pride
I have been blessed with the capability to let go of my pride

No lion, but truss me I’m Lucious when I arrive
I am not a lion, but believe me, I am confident and charismatic when I show up

20 years on this Earth and what’s the outcome?
After living for 20 years, what is the result?

Everyone in my rear view as I outrun
I leave everyone behind as I surpass them

An outlaw is what they see when they look
When they look at me, they perceive me as a rebel

But when they hear and they really listen clear, then it’s how come?
However, when they truly listen and understand, they wonder why?

It’s unusual, that I might pick up a book
It is uncommon for me to choose reading a book

And not a knife cos i don’t like seeing funerals
Instead of a knife, because I dislike witnessing funerals

Blessed with a muse so beautiful
I have been blessed with a beautiful source of inspiration

Its business as usual yeah
It is the usual routine, yes

I’ve been blessed with a gift
I have been fortunate to possess a talent

I’ve been blessed with these chances
I have been given opportunities

I’ve been granted a wish
A wish has been granted to me

I can’t take it for granted
I cannot underestimate its value

I’m as strong as the tree from the seed that was planted
I have grown as strong as a tree from the seed that was sown

That’s all that I’ve wanted
That is everything I have desired

Some of you rappers degenerate
Certain rappers deteriorate

Hating on me coz I been blessed with the lettering and the penmanship ooh
They resent me because I have been fortunate to possess skillful writing and penmanship, oh

Check out my rhetoric, I been asking ‘em questions like David Letterman
Observe my persuasive speaking style, I have been asking them questions like David Letterman

But all I literally hear is illiterate ducks
But all I literally hear are unintelligent individuals

Who want bread, women, etcétera
Who desire money, women, and so on

Gimme respect like a veteran
Show me respect like a seasoned expert

Was born for the betterment of the culture
I was born to improve the culture

But striking fear like a terrorist
But instilling fear like a terrorist

Yea, you might need a therapist for that
Yes, you may require a therapist to address that issue

I know for a fact that the whole world's been desperate for this leverage
I am certain that the entire world has been longing for this advantage

Nah boy I ain’t average
No, boy, I am not ordinary

I'm your favourite rapper’s preference
I am the preferred choice of your favorite rapper

I don’t think they know the importance in that sentence
I don't believe they understand the significance in that statement

See I been going past like preterite for your benefit
You see, I have been surpassing others like a past tense verb for your advantage

Just tryna count my blessings just for the hell of it
I am simply trying to acknowledge and appreciate my blessings just for the sake of it

You ain’t testing the kid when he’s in his element
You are not challenging me when I am in my true nature

Truss me that’s for definite, I’m destined to be excellent
Believe me, that is certain, I am meant to be outstanding

Eventually I went on a journey to learn my history
In due course, I embarked on a journey to discover my ancestry

My Tanzanian side always felt like a mystery
My Tanzanian heritage always seemed like an enigma

To me at least, my bloodline thickened out with the timeline
At least to me, my lineage became more substantial over time

I felt way more connected don’t need the WiFi
I felt much more connected and did not require WiFi

And I’d like to do my duty and share the beauty
And I would like to fulfill my responsibility and share the beauty

I’m ancestrally way richer than George Clooney
In terms of ancestry, I am far wealthier than George Clooney

You don’t know the half but even this was news to me
You do not know the complete story, but even this was news to me

Tell ‘em skip the Hart its just Zakari Sabuni yeah
Tell them to disregard other artists, it's just Zakari Sabuni, yeah

I confess
I openly admit

Hand on the Bible
I swear on the Bible

One hand on my chest
I place one hand on my chest

Nothing but the truth when I say I'm up next
I am only speaking the truth when I say it is my turn to succeed

Looking at my life you can tell that I’m
By observing my life, you can see that I am

Run it back
Repeat it once again

I solemnly swear all I know is I’m
I sincerely promise that all I am aware of is that I am

Blessed
Fortunate and favored
