Lyrics Count Your Blessings - Nas , Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley

And I've got studios to voice in
And I've got news for rejoicing
Now a new sun is rising
I count my blessings
That I'm safe when I'm resting
Furniture in my nesting
Not by force, I'm suggesting
You count your blessings
I've got love and assurance
I've got new heath insurance
I've got strength and endurance
So I count my blessings
And give thanks to the master
That through all the disaster
We're still here together after
Better count your blessings

Count yo' blessings
'Cause yo, this year, can't wait 'til he gets here
7 21 09, my first son will shine
And it's amazing, I'm about to be raising
Another made man, and like his dad they'll praise him
And some will hate him just 'cause we're building a nation
Like Bob did with Damian, the world will embrace him
Girls will chase him, foresee they will not break him
And when I'm not around, you look for God and thank him

And I've got somewhere to dress for
And I've got no need to stress for
And so I'll always put my best forth
And count my blessings
And there'll be no need for tissues
Cause there'll be no further issues
If you've got someone who miss you
Man, count your blessings
And I've got love and assurance
And I've got new health insurance
And I've got strength and endurance
So I count my blessings
And give thanks to the master
That through all the disaster
We're still here together after
Better count your blessings

You're wishing you were sitting in the top position
Picture perfect, nothing less 'cause you deserve it
Without the Hermes, you never hurting
You knew that you was destined for greatness for certain
But see the overzealous, they be thirsting, caught up in emotion
You're keeping your composure like Gershwin
Songs by Earth, Wind, keep you in a zone writing verses
So when your pockets light, know that you have a heavy purpose

We've got pre-school and day care
We've got pension and well-fare
And though not all will play the game fair
Still I count my blessings
I've got joy in abundance
I've got life full of substance
I've got meetings and functions
So I count my blessings
I've got something to live for
I've got surplus to give more
And we're all welcome through his door
So I count my blessings
And give thanks to the master
That through all the disaster
We're still here together after
So I count my blessings

Yeah, yeah
I think you're looking too hard for it
Want the double R under your garage door
Appreciate the things you work hard for
And count your blessing, count your blessings
So don't be mad if you ain't fly y'all
You got the means to reach the level I'm on
You should know that there's only one Nas y'all
But count your blessing, count your blessing, rah!

And I've got studios to voice in
And I've got news for rejoicing
Now a new son is rising
I count my blessings
That I'm safe when I'm resting
Furniture in my nesting
Not by force, I'm suggesting
You count your blessings
I've got love and assurance
I've got new heath insurance
I've got strength and endurance
So I count my blessings
And give thanks to the master
That through all the disaster
We're still here together after
Better count your blessings
