Now I know I'm blessed
A lot of things I've been keeping in, need to get off my chest
I thank God for my family and I thank God for my heritage
Replenishing all of my energy that I've been wasting like medicine
I just let it in like the sunshine
When I soak it up, I feel so fine
And I love it
Everyday that I wake up and I miss the ones I loved so much when they were here, and I hold dear
One day we'll see each other crystal clear
Forever be an angel in my ear
I need some guidance, I step away when I need silence
Most days, overstimulated
I feel off, recalibrating
My whole life, needed validation
I've never really felt celebrated
In my older age, I feel it in my veins, I can feel my spirit elevating
I feel my grandma she celebrating, she finally made it, she up in heaven
Getting to know her was truly a blessing
Beautiful memories so many lessons
Knew that she loved me never left me guessing, she always delivered a beautiful message
No matter what she was going through, what I was going through, she was always like my bestie
We never made it to Honolulu but I know she in paradise finally resting
I remember when she'd take me to school
Footlocker, she would get me some shoes
Always made sure that my tummy was full, and my mom would get mad when she spoiled me too
Gave me cash when my pockets was low
Heard me out when I felt alone
She made me laugh when my head was low
She really made my house a home
She was really such a beautiful woman
A beautiful smile, a beautiful spirit
And ain't nothing that she loved more than her children
She showed me that family's a powerful healer
She kept God at the forefront, never for a sec did I doubt her
I can't wait til the day comes, say face to face that I'm proud of her
I can't wait for heavens gates that's why I stay down to earth
I feel your presence everyday, don't worry Nana , I got it here
I thank god for your life
The way you raised me right
For twenty years , you gave me life
I promise you I'll get it right, like
