I mix the gangsterism with the spiritualism
African black soap in a cold shower
I was protective of my fears now I got Alzheimer's
The bullets ricocheted to Aaron in the crossfire
John passed in 9th grade, his pops offed them all
His ghost was still in attendance in our school halls
Some other ones from those days start to fading
I am blessed, I'm alive, I'm amazing
I am blessed, I'm alive, I'm amazing
I am blessed, I'm alive, I'm amazing
Remember times I needed help and got rain checked
So nowadays I'm dishing out a thousand favors
My life's on the line for this daily, we taking big risks
We in a big pond, with not enough big fish
Correcting my mistakes for my kid's, kid's, kid's, kids
Made it in the Billionaire Boys Club with persistence
For my strong women better than us on the job, a-aye
Working three times as hard and get fractions of the reward
I see the God in you baby, get your applause
You look better than the summer's first sun in that sundress
Better than becoming everything they said you wasn't
The things that gave me grudges turned themselves to inspiration
I am blessed, I'm alive, I'm amazing
I am blessed, I'm alive, I'm amazing
I am blessed, I'm alive, I'm amazing
In the face of difficulty, I can shape shift
Hope that I never complain 'bout where the days went
I am blessed, I'm alive, I'm amazing
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Miscellaneous lessons
Holding grudges cause I didn't get my preference
Saw the comedy in it when I reflected
Paid attention to my gestures, intentions
I stopped depending on the car next to me for directions
I got the message
I got the light, I got my leg in
I leave the door open, that's for the record
I got the might, I got the oh-oh
I treat the backlash like calisthenics
Happy you said it, I need alone time
She smell I'm smoking through the phone line
The grass is greener, that's from both sides
You name-dropping but my fans my only co-signs
It ain't fly cause it's Raf Simons, but yes this is Raf Simons
Yes I'm an example to Latino and Black children
Eyes rolling back, I'm hearing whispers from past wisdoms
Thank God for Hip-Hop, Thank God for Will Scott
He held me down when the process didn't make sense
A&R's would talk and hint that I am ancient
I'm out here dancing like Beyoncé on my stages
Dominican but I got love for all my Haitians
My girl said leave my 9-to-5 cause I'ma make it
I am blessed, I'm alive, I'm amazing
I am blessed, I'm alive
Start thinking about the better for others, you know
Like if your good and you have what you need
You know, and your in a good place
Why not make sure somebody else has that?
