Blessed Lyrics


This is the last take for the night
Understand it's kinda late
And I gotta get home to my son
'Cause he's so special to me
I mean I gotta see him
I need to breathe him
That's my baby don't call me crazy
I love the studio but I love him more
Let me give you what I got so
I woke up in the morning feeling fresh to death
I'm so blessed, yes yes
I went to sleep stressed, woke up refreshed
I'm so blessed, yeah yes
Water in my face and everything is in it's place
Peace of mind even my grace
I'm so blessed, yes yes yes

My grandma almost lived to see ninety two
I'm so blessed, yes yes yes yes
My son was born healthy and beautiful
I'm so blessed, yeah yes
My momma's on my right side
Daddy on my left, my son father doing his absolute
I'm so blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed, yeah yeah yes
And I know what I know
And I know what I know
Yeah yeah struggle don't happen
It's just the way it be
Ain't nothing coming easily in this life
Sometimes you gotta work and you gotta grow and it gotta hurt
I'm sure you know
Take a look around
Woke up this morning listening to this song
You're so blessed, yes yes
Gonna rock this joint all night long
It's so blessed, yes
To be up in here with our hands up in the air
Waving like we just don't care
We're so blessed, yes yeah yeah yeah
Woke up in the morning feeling fresh to death
Went to sleep stressed woke up refreshed
Momma's on my right side, daddy on my left
I'm so blessed, yes yes yes

Born Jill Heather Scott in the North Philly neighborhood of the City of Philadelphia, PA on April 4, 1972. She began her career as a performance poet. She was discovered by Amir "Questlove" Thompson of The Roots. Questlove invited her to join the band in the studios. Which resulted in the live version of "You Got Me" in 1999.

Subsequently, she collaborated with Eric Benet, Will Smith, Lupe Fiasco, Common and broadened her performing experience by touring Canada in a production of the Broadway musical Rent. Signed to Steve McKeever's newly formed Hidden Beach Recordings label, she released her debut album Who Is Jill Scott: Words and Sounds Vol. 1 in July 2000. The following summer she released Experience:Jil Scott 826+ after she released the single "A Long Walk." Scott continued to gain more recognition, eventually earning a Grammy nomination in early 2003 for Best Female Vocal Performance for "A Long Walk", Jill Scott won a Grammy award at the 2005 Grammy awards for Best R&B Solo Vocal Performance, Male or Female.

The Collaborations collection served as "an appetizer" for her next studio album, The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3 released September 25, 2007. A clip of the title track was released on a bonus disc from Hidden Beach Records and included with Collaborations. The lead single "Hate on Me", gained airplay in May 2007 with a video released in mid-July. In advance of the album's release, Hidden Beach released a 17-minute album sampler through their forums.
