Blessings By Ollie
I hate to say it but it kills me
Gives me more reason to lose sleep
Every mess I’ve made
If I tell you that I’m hurting
Would you hold me till it all ends
Help me count my blessings babe
Yeah
Missed calls at my family’s funerals
While suits and jackets judge my new songs, say they aint suitable
As if they know the type of music that pops
Cause most these label artists need marketing dollars or flop
That’s the difference between us, I did this all on my own
Don’t need a room full of writers, I put my pain in these songs
While they flashing they cheques
Rapping about money ***
I’m in awe
No wonder kids are depressed
This game affecting us all
It’s funny everyone’s upset when you speaking the truth
But I won’t stop spilling my guts inside of this booth
Cause to us this is more than just some lyrics
This reality
The struggles every single day we live with, like
I hate to say it but it kills me
Gives me more reason to lose sleep
Every mess I’ve made
If I tell you that I’m hurting
Would you hold me till it all ends
Help me count my blessings babe
Lately I’ve been drowning in stress
I spend all of my time inside just playing beats at my desk
Hate saying these next words but I’ve been feeling depressed
Have trouble dealing with some issues bottled up in my chest
I guess pouring myself in musics the only way I cope
So much more than these clever songs y’all think are ***
I really lived every *** line I ever wrote
And chose to share the stories I could inspire hope
Now it bothers me, hearing all of this mainstream
Cookie cutter its been the same since my late teens
Cause to us this is more than just some lyrics
This reality, the struggles, every single day we live with
***
I hate to say it but it kills me
Gives me more reason to lose sleep
Every mess I’ve made
If I tell you that I’m hurting
Would you hold me till it all ends
Help me count my blessings babe
