eL enigmA - Blessings

All love is gone
At least to my knowledge
To all of the haters I’d like to pay homage
You made me into
The man that you see
Just a bilingual nigga from Tennessee
I have one race
But my mind is still split
How do I explain half of this I
Want to be normal
But now its too late
I can’t turn back now
I’ve accepted my fate
Two different tongues
And they share the same message
Yea there’s an elephant, now let me address it
I am black
Not a drop of Hispanic
The story is too long so I will not explain it
I just know that I’m blessed
I just know that I’m blessed
Cross on my chest cause I keep my head high
I accept my position from the One in the sky
I never felt like I could gain their attention
Their words come at me like ammunition
Well, I have two loves
And they don’t talk
They can’t communicate
So I struggle a lot
I have to put up a front and act all different
So many various forms of code switchin
So many thoughts float around in my head
I put in these locs and with them the dread
Never have I understood my vision
I just know that I have a premonition that
I'll be incredibly blessed
I'll be incredibly blessed
I cannot see heaven being much better than this
Life is so bliss
Sloppy wet kiss from the sun on my skin
Makes my photosynthetic mind reminisce I
Want to be greater but I cannot rely
On my own intuition which seems to deny
The darkness that has me suspended in time
And cuts off my access to helpful advice
I wish they could understand how my brain works
And how much their ignorance makes the pain worse
They talk mess about a part of me in front of my face
And assume I’m not affected because of my race
But I have to remind them of who I am
And that I’ll stand up for those who don’t have a place
For all the enigmas in this world
There’s only one thing that I need to say
And that is We are so blessed
We are so blessed
Ya se que estoy bendecido
Ando en un camino enriquecido
Dios me da to’ lo que pido
Siempre me encuentra cuando estoy perdido
Protegido estoy
Con fuerza me voy
Pa' otro lugar donde aceptan quien soy
Las barreras derrumbo
Las doy un tumbo
De electricidad que causa humo
Que uso para desaperacer
Y convertirme en un ser que no solo quiere ver
Que no solo vive una vida para entretener
Que no solo dice lo que la gente quiere creer
Que no habla irrespetusamente de la mujer
Que no sigue en las huellas de lo infiel
Que no solo hace lo que solamente yo deseo
Que no se rinde enfrente de lo que me da miedo
(Drake)
If I hurt your feelings, I’m not taking it back
The point of this song was to make you aware
Of how hard it is to be more than just Black
To be more than your skin or texture of hair
Race has become my only face
But my mind is still a very diverse place
If only they could see what’s inside
I know for sure that they would open their eyes and be blessed
