I'm a country girl, living in the deep south

Made your parents proud, without a sign of doubt

You was very polite, making straight A's in school

Getting your education, you couldn't afford to be a fool

You was known as a brain, who had a gang of knowledge

Your folks didn't have much, but they ensured you to make it to college

You got your PHD, now everything is on track

You refuse to let anything, or anyone hold you back

Don't let your blessings, don't let your blessings slip away

Don't let your blessings, don't let your blessings slip away

Now you're in your twenties, and your parents have passed away

Now you're living in the city, expecting everything to go your way

You're walking on this earth, with your head all up in the sky

And you're labeled as a magnet, tempting guys at the blink of an eye

So you got a cute face, with a real nice figure

But you swear up or down, that your God's gift to all of these

You think you got it going on, and you think you got it made

You better readjust your attitude, before it all starts to fade

Don't let your blessings, don't let your blessings slip away

Don't let them slip away, don't let them slip away

Don't let your blessings, don't let your blessings slip away

Don't let them slip away, don't let them slip away

You can't look in the mirror, cause now you're all old and grey

Busy trying to revive, everything you've done back in the day

So your so-called friends, have vanished and disappeared

All you do is waste precious time on social media, shedding tears

So you take it to the streets, and try your best to flirt

But every man rejects you, cause your rep is lower than dirt

So you need to dry your weeping eyes, and get on your knees and pray

And ask the Lord for forgiveness, and let him guide you for the rest of your days

Don't let your blessings, don't let your blessings slip away

Don't let your blessings slip away, don't let your blessings slip away

Don't let your blessings, don't let your blessings slip away

Don't let your blessings slip away, don't let your blessings slip away

Don't let your blessings, don't let your blessings slip away

Oh you're trying to be hip

but you losing your grip

Don't let your blessings, don't let your blessings slip away

Don't let your blessings slip away, don't let your blessings slip away

Don't let your blessings, don't let your blessings slip away

Instead you trying to be cool, but you playing the fool

Don't let your blessings, don't let your blessings slip away

Don't let your blessings slip away, don't let your blessings slip away

Don't let it slip away

Don't let them slip away

Don't let it slip away

Don't let them slip away

Don't let it slip away

Don't let them slip away

Don't let it slip away

Don't let them slip away

Don't let your blessings

Don't let your blessings

slip away

Don't let your blessings

Don't let your blessings

Slip away
