Blessings

[Intro]

Yeah, ooh

Yeah, hold on, yeah

Yeah, okay, let me tell it

Okay, yeah

Yeah

[Chorus]

All I wanted was respect

Just want to be accepted

Too focused on being perfect

And now that I reflect

I was blind and I shouldn't have listened to what you said

Now there's a disconnect between me and you

Now I'm true to myself and I make my own moves

I used to try and be cool, impress the kids at school

But I wasn't being true to my Goddamn roots

Hol' up

[Verse]

I speak from my heart, not my throat

Said no longer I'd be told

The person I am, still finding myself

I really don't need you to hold me back

No holding me back, no more discussions 'bout that

Boy, it's a wrap

Used to worry about so-called “friends”, but they'd never hit me back

Like damn, look at how far I've come

But I've only just begun

I tried to run from the person that I was

Goddamn, how I was so dumb

But I don't need your judgement

Was somebody I wasn't

But now I'm here to change that

And take over the country, oh man

[Chorus]

All I wanted was respect

Just want to be accepted

Too focused on being perfect

And now that I reflect

I was blind and I shouldn't have listened to what you said

Now there's a disconnect between me and you

Now I'm true to myself and I make my own moves

I used to try and be cool, impress the kids at school

But I wasn't being true to my Goddamn roots

Hol' up (Hol' up)
