Blessin' in Disguise


Yeah
Hey yo Architect
Turn that bass up a little bit yo
Yeah
Make ‘em feel it
Yep
About to take y’all on a little journey back
to how your boy used to spit
Only this time
I’m comin’ on some new and updated ish
Some of that Reggae and Hip Hop mixed yo
That blend
That hybrid
Yeah
Check it yo
Let’s go

Everything ain’t always what it seems
Never is it black or white but somewhere in between
Many shades a grey in this life I have to ponder
Let my mind wander somewhere beyond yonder
Findin’ in her absence my heart is growin’ fonder
Put that shit on pause like a sentence wit’ a comma
Lettin’ off some steam like I’m chillin’ in a sauna
I keep a safe distance from piranhas wit’ bad karma
Hopin’ that I place my faith in Obama
Never could I do it out my sky fallin’ manna
Who feels it knows it
Never take for granted that I’m blessed
but it’s vital that I take some time away to reconnect
With the source of my blessins’ relax they stressin’
Take a step back while dem pressin’ I’m guessin’
They want me to feel their anxiety
No celly, internet, company or TV HD
It’s just me and my thoughts
Find me in the wilderness I’m lost
Same place as I find myself caught
at this present moment
They wantin’ sumthin’ from me
So beautiful is life when it’s not about the money
But it’s time
Me and my thoughts and my rhymes
I’m rollin’ up two joints like Sublime
That’s classic
Just the other day is when I fasted
Stretchin’ out my muscles like elastic
Huh!

When you lost or broke your phone
and find yourself alone don’t moan
It’s a blessin’ in disguise
When they take away your laptop
no internet connect for a week, don’t freak
It’s a blessin’ in disguise
When they don’t know where you live
so nobody droppin’ by no need to hide
It’s a blessin’ in disguise
When it’s rainin’ outside
and your too high to drive just chill
Hey it’s a blessin’ in disguise

Off the shelf I grab a book self-written by a yogi
Take my time to read ‘cause I like to move slowly
The same pace I take when you get to know me
Entertain myself so I’m never gettin’ lonely
True dat!
Certain ones they wishin’ they could phone me or bone me
Findin’ me on facebook if only
I could please all of you I would
but since I can’t do it I’m believin’ that I should
but you don’t hear me
Take some time to disconnect wit’ the world
I ain’t ever talkin’ to my children or my girl
Don’t trip
Take it personal and definitely don’t assume
Everybody need some room so they could breathe
Take it eazy
Not just your pangs but your soul you gotta feed
Yo 36 hours just a tease
But for me it’s just enough
So I’m a take advantage
Slowin’ down my thoughts
Realignin’ with the planets

When you lost all your contacts
can’t call nobody to confide
It’s a blessin’ in disguise
When you come from different worlds
and you find out that he lied don’t cry, why?
It’s a blessin’ in disguise
When you can’t see eye to eye
and it’s comin’ to an end
don’t be surprised
It’s a blessin’ in disguise
When your ego had enough
and you runnin’ out of pride
you alive
That’s a blessin’ in disguise

I said everything happens for a reason
Sumthin’ to be thankful for as long as I’m breathin’
Findin’ sun breaks even during a rainy season
If not . . . devastatin’ like Lebron leavin’ Cleveland
Heard a knock at the door refuse to answer
Not the worst thing without my phone causes cancer
Fix myself a meal
A bowl of grains yo no big deal
There’s a lot that I can do but keep still
Never like to force it
See I’m vibin’ off a feel
They can’t put a label on it so offerin’ no deal
but I ain’t trippin’
It’s a blessin’ in disguise
Lookin’ for direction from my guide he replied
Let them people live they own lives
For those who choose to die
There ain’t nuthin’ you can do
So let it ride
Focus on the ones who wanna keep themselves alive
For peace and serenity my friends do strive
Balance comes from keepin’ everything in perspective
Progress only comin’ after all thru acceptance
of the situation that you find yourself in
Use your time wisely ‘cause it might not come again
And if does maybe comin’ in a different form
The last thing it told me stay flowin’ against the norm
A star is born

Yeah
Madgesdiq baby

When they can’t place you in a box
makin’ comments about your locks
Don’t stop
It’s a blessin’ in disguise
If they ain’t hypin’ you a lot
thinkin’ that you hot but give you props
That’s a blessin’ in disguise
When a pen is all you got
plus a beat that knocks
That’s hip hop
That’s a blessin’ in disguise
And if he used to be a jock
now you blowin’ up your spot
Guess what?
I’m a blessin’ in disguise

Yeah
Architect good lookin’ boy
Yeah Madgesdiq
Elite Beat
Yeah it’s that collabo
It’s a blessin’ in disguise remix ish
Yeah
That Reggae that Hip Hop
That Funk that Soul
That dub that vibe
Gettin’ you high even you ain’t puffin’ like me
Which you guarantee or I guarantee
You know that’s what I’m doin’
Matter of fact I’m a go take me a hit right now
We out
Peace
