Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Okay
[Verse 2]
Counting all my blessings
Learning all my lessons
Asking all these questions
This thing called life
Though you may have less than
Know that you're still precious
Look into yourself for that peace of mind
[Verse 3]
Counting all my blessings
Learning all my lessons
Asking all these questions
This thing called life
Though you may have less than
Know that you're still precious
Look into yourself for that peace of mind
[Verse 4]
Can't be the same man I was in 2006
'Cause I increase in wisdom and pick up on all them tricks
And every time you see the kingdom rise, them want take some of it
But now that it's a different set of youth a govern it
It a go hard, it naa go easy 'cause we coming well equipped
Over-standing to the fullness, what I know you'll never take
Is my essence and my spirit, watch the vibe as it connect
Shining bright no matter how it set
[Verse 5]
Counting all my blessings
Learning all my lessons
Asking all these questions
This thing called life
Though you may have less than
Know that you're still precious
Look into yourself for that peace of mind
[Verse 6]
Counting all my blessings
Learning all my lessons
Asking all these questions
This thing called life
Though you may have less than
Know that you're still precious
Look into yourself for that peace of mind
[Verse 7]
What is happiness without the present?
A future without a cause, a what that represent
And there were times in my past I might have felt regret
Apologies that I ought to make, no say them yet
But I'm honestly thinking that I should do them now
You ever felt like you sinking and you ready fi drown?
I took the deepest breath I could and closed my eyes
Then I woke up more alive, it inspired me to
[Verse 8]
Count up all my blessings
Learning all my lessons
Asking all these questions
This thing called life
Though you may have less than
Know that you're still precious
Look into yourself for that peace of mind
[Verse 9]
Counting all my blessings
Learning all my lessons
Asking all these questions
This thing called life
Though you may have less than
Know that you're still precious
Look into yourself for that peace of mind
[Verse 10]
And your priority is this
How can you make society tell you what is rich?
No happy without it, you can't be happy with
The belly full, but yet the heart feel empty still
House pon the hill, nothing no wrong, but while you build
Pray that the ones under the roof be free from ill
Pray everyone that is alive can feel the joy
Whether raining or the sun deh in the sky, I'll be
[Verse 11]
Counting all my blessings
Learning all my lessons
Asking all these questions
This thing called life
Though you may have less than
Know that you're still precious
Look into yourself for that peace of mind
[Verse 12]
Counting all my blessings
Learning all my lessons
Asking all these questions
This thing called life
Though you may have less than
Know that you're still precious
Look into yourself for that peace of mind
[Verse 13]
Yeah, for that peace of mind
They trying to take my peace of mind
They coming for my peace of mind
I'm glad I got this peace of mind
And for my peace of mind
They trying to take my peace of mind
They coming for my peace of mind
I'm glad I got this peace of mind
