Sometimes as a soldier, you get knocked off your track by things that happen in life You get knocked off your focus by struggles in life Keep your head up. Let's go Yall didn't believe in us when we was down, so don't come around when we up Didn't give it up, was down on luck, we focused up until we came up Now we got blessings, work for more than we'll ever need now We got blessings, blessings From 35th and Cottage Grove, buried like a pot of gold Really from the low, and we ain't have a lot of clothes Granny in the kitchen, quoting scriptures from the Bible Saying Jesus love you, but we living in survival So I headed out the door and heard a fiend ask for change Head in the sky, cause I'm praying for the same Reaching in my pockets, man, I barely had a dollar Trying to find direction, need another map to follow If you looking for a blessing, gotta wait in line And you can have the things you want, you gotta take your time Put yourself in different circles, elevate your thinking Stack your paper, life ain't all about smoking and drinking Don't get ahead of yourself, but separate from others Keep your circle a circle and hustle with your brothers Put your head on the swivel and keep your brain attached Cause they'll wait for you down, and that's when they attack Y'all didn't believe in us when we was down So don't come around when we up Didn't give it up, was down on luck We focused up until we came up We got blessings Worked for more than we'll ever need now We got blessings Yeah Blessings See, it was less about fate, and it was more about timing And it was less about money, and it was more about rhyming Had to get on my hustle and get up off of my ass Had to gather mistakes and leave that shit in the past Since the beginning of life, I was a seed to be buried That's a hard pill to swallow when all your sneakers is dirty Had to drown in the rain, then marinate in the mud Was in the awkward position, I couldn't move, I was stuck And then that light hit, now it's time to come alive Time to show the world this magic that was deep inside Repositioned all my moves, and then I cracked the surface This a testament to you, we all got a purpose So when you steppin towards your dreams, you gotta walk alone You gotta do it by yourself and keep your spirit strong No matter what you run across, you gotta see it through And you gon' fail a lot of times, but still believe in you It's true Y'all didn't believe in us when we was down So don't come around when we're up Didn't give it up, was down on luck We focused up until we came up We got blessings You gotta go for everything you want Worked for more than we'll ever need now We got blessings Blessings Blessings
