Songtexte: Nas. Distant Relatives. Count Your Blessings.

And Ia??ve got studios to write in(?)
And Ia??ve got news for rejoicing
Now a new sun is rising
I count my blessings
That Ia??m safe when Ia??m resting
Furniture in my nesting
But by force Ia??m suggesting
Ya count your blessings

I've got love and assurance
I've got new health insurance
And Ia??ve got strength and endurance
So I count my blessings

And give thanks to the master
That you are the disaster
Wea??re still here together after
Better count your blessings

Cause yo this year, cana??t wait a??til it gets here
7-20-109 my first song will shine
And ita??s amazing Ia??m about to be raisina??
Another main man and like his dad theya??ll praise him
And some will hate him, just cause we buildina?? a nation
(?)
The world will embrace him, girlsa??ll chase him
Forsee, they will not break him
And when Ia??m not around, you look for God and thank him

And Ia??ve got somewhere to dress for,
And Ia??ve got no need to stress for
And so Ia??ll always put my best forth
And count my blessings

And theya??ll be no need for tissues
a??Cause there will be no further issues
If you got someone who miss you,
Man, count your blessings.

I've got love and assurance
I've got new health insurance
And Ia??ve got strength and endurance
So I count my blessings

And give thanks to the master
That you are the disaster
Wea??re still here together after
Better count your blessings

You wishina?? you were sittina?? in the top position
Picture perfect, nothing less a??cause you deserve it
Without the Hermes, youa??d have a hurtina??
You knew that you was destined for greatness, for certain
You see the over-zealous, they be thirstina??, caught up in emotion
You keepina?? your composure like Gershwin
Songs by Earth Wind keep you in the zone, writing verses

So when your pocketa??s light, know that you have a heavy purpose

Wea??ve got Sunday school and daycare
Wea??ve got pension and welfare
And though not all will play the game fair
Still I count my blessings

Ia??ve joy in abundance
Ia??ve got life full of substance
Ia??ve got meetings and functions
So I count my blessings

Ia??ve got something to live for
Ia??ve got surplus to give more
And wea??re all welcome through His door
So I count my blessings


And give thanks to the master
That you are the disaster
Wea??re still here together after
So I count my blessings


I think you lookina?? too hard for
With the double law? under your garage door
Appreciate the things you work hard for
Hey, count your blessings
Count your blessings
So dona??t be mad if you aina??t fly ya??all
You got the means to reach the level Ia??m on
You should know therea??s only one Nas ya??all
But count your blessings, count your blessings

And Ia??ve got studios to write in(?)
And Ia??ve got news for rejoicing
Now a new sun is rising
I count my blessings
That Ia??m safe when Ia??m resting
Furniture in my nesting
But by force Ia??m suggesting
Ya count your blessings

I've got love and assurance
I've got new health insurance
And Ia??ve got strength and endurance
So I count my blessings

And give thanks to the master
That you are the disaster
Wea??re still here together after
Better count your blessings
