(Knowledgeborn07)
Blessed began as a beat DJ Doze (aka Mr. Chinn) had made on his MPC. He sent me a folder one day of instrumentals he constructed called "Chinns Hop". This folder was filled with some new wave hip hop funkadelic delicious beats that I just couldn’t keep my sugary little paws off of. I heard the song blessed and was blown away. I asked him if I could spit some verses on some of the tracks and he said go ahead and bless em. I took the blessed track and wrote it in about 15 minutes. It was one of those tracks that get played and you just don't put the pen down. It kinda writes itself it seems. I wanted to use the song for the album but there were some samples we would have to get cleared so I asked Doze if it would be ok if we remade the track but based off of his original. He said have at it. I still wish I could have gotten him on some 1's and 2's for this track. Unfortunately he lives out in Cali and had no way to record at the time, but I plan on doing some stuff with him in the near future.

When Johnny remade the beat I was really in awe. How did you make that sound? Wait… what is that? Dude, where did you get this. I was constantly questioning him and just in a state of euphoria. Instead of the original where I spit one long verse he wanted to chop it up into a verse chorus structure. I thought to myself, I have a long enough verse to chop it up into two verses but what would be sick would be to get Prince Po of Organized Konfusion this track. I have always dug Prince Po's style. He is one of those MC's that rhymes intelligent lyrics and seems to always be telling you something. Droppin little jewels of wisdom in lyrics for the listener to grow as an individual while at the same time rippin MC's to shreds. When he said he would do the track I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it. This dude is a classic. Po said I’m gonna drop you something real nice for this and that he did. My favorite part of his verse is

"I rose above the madness, acquired knowledge of self, shook the ways of a savage, now I'm flyin' like a stealth, some said I couldn't do it now I'm raps michael phelps, in the image of God repeating the cycle with finesse"

Thanks again Po. To top it all off Gooze dropped some keyboard work on this song that just killed it. When I heard those keys dancing through the beat, like leaves dancing in a cool breeze on a beautiful fall day, I knew this one history in the making. And the best thing about the track is that it’s good for you. Soak up the lessons and manifest destiny. Push positive and be positive.

Bless

lyrics

Chorus
(Knowledgeborn07 and Johnny Cosmic)

Blessed love
Blessed is creation
Blessed is the most high unto every nation
Blessed is every color we must be patient
We are just patients in this blessed world we use as a station


(Knowledgeborn07)

to channel our love
you know the one Im speaking of
I mean the one known as the unconditional
basic nature of this earth
ever since the ancients left us passages
to guide us on our maps like spaceships
nowadays you get confused by dominions and systems
sending mixed signals outward
like were preachin through a prism
not knowing that this is the worst kind of prison
settling on our differences
the walking dead were not livin
everyone seems to cling to destruction
promoting violence
steadily on the gun clutching like a modern day virus
at the same time we seem to be the modern day pirates stealing from the ones we love
and not respecting the highest supreme human being the one that is considered divine
its like trickery and we ate the apple smiling
but what gets to me is that
were all from different climates
professing the same thing with different names
I pray for silence and peace on these streets
not little babies cryin or
youths trading blood for money
like they got a license to kill
its not a movie
its real life and its tiring
i see the fire blazing so much
they pray for hydrants to put the fire out
but not until the purifyin is over
you'll know by the sound of the king lion
when the trumpets sound like sirens
titans can't fight em
cause were all image and likeness
no matter what they thought
each and every creed defyin


Chorus

Blessed love
Blessed is creation
Blessed is the most high unto every nation
Blessed is every color we must be patient
We are just patients in this blessed world we use as a station


(Prince Po)

manifestin lessons
celestial connections
peer pressure bring questions
that's answered by the blessings
back against the wall
haters hoping you fall
trying to shit where i eat first we chokin' em all
but I rose above the madness
acquired knowledge of self
shook the ways of a savage
now I'm flyin' like a stealth
some said I couldn't do it
now I'm raps michael phelps
in the image of God
repeating the cycle with finesse
it's the little things that paint a bigger picture
I've seen the world and I'm from Queens
and that's considered wishin'
I've touched many through my words and pain
and now the millions chop my words
into herbs and grain
weathered some severe storms
escaped sticky bushes
got a lot of nice things
yo Po keeps it pushin'
thankful for it all cause it didn't have to be
lettin' Knowledge be Born
Prince Po the emcee


Chorus

Blessed love
Blessed is creation
Blessed is the most high unto every nation
Blessed is every color we must be patient
We are just patients in this blessed world we use as a station


(Johnny Cosmic)

lifes not always worth warring
or just fighting
its an up hill battle
and yes we gotta get to hiking
the way I always pray
is to the lord through this writing
and maybe just one day we'll realize without the sirens
stop the violence
