Voli Contra, Alonda Rich - Bless Up Lyrics

We kickin it off, we kickin it off for 2021
Last year was doggy dogg, I think all'a'yall lookin for a belly rub
Zonin' out while we stayin' in, try to lighten up doin' heavy drugs
He done said he won, look what we done lost
Still we power forward, Kevin Love
Chill I know you feelin' anger, grandmomma still in danger
No relief, shit is painful, it's gotten deeper since April
Dont lie dont lie, if we learned anything, it's be real
No more coma coma, gotta be woke before we heal you know
It's always the ones that would never do it that tell ya how to lead a revolution
Oppression always been effective when a whole middle class is complicit thru it
Them other groups hurt different, take ya pick
Melanin, estrogen, ghetto kids, they been hit
Now its groundhog day, 365, lil' nba, IG live
But it ain't the wave, do a deep dive, funny how the change start from inside
2020 Gave me clarity, perspective opened my eyes
Reflection helped me see the light, oh my, I know

It's hard but if it ain't no pain, it ain't no glory, nah
Gotta keep shining, building on your story
Getting rid of everything I recognize ain't for me
We been down we been down
That's when you bless up, bless up
Cause life is fast, slow down
We need to bless up, bless up
Appreciate the things we have
Count em up, count em up yea
Bless up, bless up, bless up, bless up, bless up
Bless up, bless up, bless up, bless up, bless up
Bless up, bless up, bless up, bless up, bless up
Bless up, yeah, yeah, bless up

Let go let go let go release till you get a grip
Just know you gain the growth you need when you shed them tears
Them troubled waters runnin' deep, we done bled for years
That pain is sickness as its leaves, don't you ever fear, no
Holiday spent alone, gotta teach kids on zoom, Voli don't leave your home
Look at them ICUs, they don't even got enough room but
Gratitude is the attitude, ya gotta do what ya gotta
We got each other, thats invaluable, got a shout out too
For the doctors, the nurses, the teachers, the grocers
Single parents working both shifts, lets give the flowers we owe them
Never take for granted what you got, it always hurt when the growth come
All the blessings in the world to ya, baby girl, count em up and throw 'em sumth'n

It's hard but if it ain't no pain, it ain't no glory, nah
Gotta keep shining, building on your story
Getting rid of everything I recognize ain't for me
We been down we been down
That's when you bless up, bless up
Cause life is fast, slow down
We need to bless up, bless up
Appreciate the things we have
Count em up, count em up yea
Bless up, bless up, bless up, bless up, bless up
Bless up, bless up, bless up, bless up, bless up
Bless up, bless up, bless up, bless up, bless up
Bless up, yeah, yeah, bless up

Mm, nobody said it would be easy, no no
You just gotta find your way, yeah
I know in the moment it gets crazy, that's just time, love
But it's okay to not be okay to not be okay, fact
No matter what you're going through, it's alright to not be okay
You already know what to do

That's when you bless up
Cause life is fast, slow down
We need to bless up
Appreciate the things we have
Count em up, count em up yea
Bless up, bless up, bless up
Bless up, bless up
