(with Damian Marley)




And I've got studios to write 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 

But by force I'm suggesting 

Ya count your blessings 



I've got love and assurance 

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 you are the disaster 

We're still here together after 

Better count your blessings 



Cause yo this year, can't wait 'til it gets here 

7-20-109 my first song will shine 

And it's amazing I'm about to be raisin' 

Another main man and like his dad they'll praise him 

And some will hate him, just cause we buildin' a nation 

(?) 

The world will embrace him, girls'll chase him 

Forsee, 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 they'll be no need for tissues 

'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 I've got strength and endurance 

So I count my blessings 



And give thanks to the master 

That you are the disaster 

We're still here together after 

Better count your blessings 



You wishin' you were sittin' in the top position 

Picture perfect, nothing less 'cause you deserve it 

Without the Hermes, you'd have a hurtin' 

You knew that you was destined for greatness, for certain 

You see the over-zealous, they be thirstin', caught up in emotion 

You keepin' your composure like Gershwin 

Songs by Earth Wind keep you in the zone, writing verses 

So when your pocket's light, know that you have a heavy purpose 



We've got Sunday school and daycare 

We've got pension and welfare 

And though not all will play the game fair 

Still I count my blessings 



I've 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 you are the disaster 

We're still here together after 

So I count my blessings 



I think you lookin' 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 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 there's only one Nas y'all 

But count your blessings, count your blessings 



And I've got studios to write 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 

But by force I'm suggesting 

Ya count your blessings 



I've got love and assurance 

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 you are the disaster 

We're still here together after 

Better count your blessings
