Blessings Lyrics

Thirty Nine Eleven

Wrote to Santa for my presents

Had them cookies out by 7

Hit the church to hear the reverend go

Ms. Brown was singing hymns

And she would take us to the heaven doors

Ms. Bates was leading Sunday school

But we ain't pay attention though

Lessons that I learned

Is now the blessings that I earned

Just like when Uncle Pook had said I need to wait my turn

I value all my family learned that from Aunty Earn

And y'all know I love my mama

Cause she brought me through that hurt

We always had abundance

Though we never had a lot

I know I'm sounding contradictory

But lemme jot

As I look up underneath the Christmas tree

I'm finna plot

Could I get it like them kiddies

Who had money on da block

Could I make make a million dollars

And get anything I want

Could I finally get a text from

Lemme stop

Cause it ain't about the presents

I could sit under my tree

No it's all 'bout being thankful

For the folks loving me

So I'm placing Thanks

At the top of wish list

And ion even really need no presents for Christmas

I guess I finally found a way to switch my position

I guess I found a new way to go measure my riches

It ain't come from me voting for no fake politician

It ain't come from obeying no outdated tradition

Instead I finally took the time to open my eyes

No lies

Thank God

Justyfi is alive

Thirty Nine Eleven

Wrote to Santa for my presents

Had them cookies out by 7

Hit da church to hear the reverend go

Ms. Brown was singing hymns

And she would take us to the heaven doors

Ms. Bates was leading Sunday school

But we ain't pay attention though

Lessons that I learned

Is now the blessings that I earned

This the lessons that I learned

Lessons that I learned

Is now the blessings that I earned

And that's the blessings that I earned

It seem that trials and tribulations

Done taught me bout being patient

Found beauty in reservation

With eyes on the destination

Try to knock me down

But I'm up with determination

I fight with imagination

Through justice and liberation

Forget what all them people say

Elevate to yo peace today

Negativity pass away

But this ain't gon be on my resume

When I ándale from this pain

Hopefully when I leave the world

That these words cemented my name

J U S T Y F I

Til I die

Thirty Nine Eleven

Santa for my presents

Cookies out by 7

Church to hear the reverend go

Take us to the heaven doors

Take us to them heaven doors

Thirty Nine Eleven
