    Lyrics:
    Why the desperate need for an applause?
    I’ll wait
    Is she the GOAT here well it’s safe to assume
    Everybody panic when I step in the room
    And I can feel that shit a mile off
    Niggas is rapping about pieces
    People are really dying is that what needed
    I can’t save your soul you need Jesus
    Tell me please
    Why the desperate need to be remembered?
    Everybody knowing what you’ve done
    How far you’ve come
    I’m guilty it’s a little self centred
    People change when it’s about personal gain
    I stay in my lane cos I’m not done with the checks
    Give me what I deserve and not speak on the rest
    Don’t know what has occurred then do not aimlessly guess
    It’s a gift and a curse to this pretty and blessed
    Blessed blessed blessed
    So blessed
    Used to plug that £20 mic into the back of the Mac Mac Mac
    Just so you can hear my voice
    Always knew this was my calling but I’m here by choice
    And things change
    Shit been dark for a minute I’m (blessed)
    Delirious its hard to function on this winners time
    Mouths to feed my nigga
    Scripts to read my nigga
    Double life living overseas my nigga shit
    Left home for it
    Jasmine just had a daughter man she’s so gorgeous
    Told me life is giving life and I’m so for it
    Maybe one day
    Nothing’s more important and family’s where the love stays
    Dealing with society’s pressures is one thing
    Let alone all of the problems that funds bring
    But no stress
    Understand it comes with the process
    I follow my intuition cause it knows best
    Im so used to getting it on my own yes
    Know my people wanna see me win
    I’d never let you down
    Standing ovation for the one who’s wearing the crown
    I got royalty In my blood I was born great
    Don’t allow anyone to undermine your fate
    You’ve awoken the fearless
    High beams and lucid dreams
    Don't be so obsessed with me
    You think you know what's best for me
    Take my energy come to find there's nothing left of me
    Went from being small time to becoming my own entity
    Went from being broke as fuck and trying to find identity
    To buying the finer things isolating memories
    What is it I'm meant to be
    I think I need a standing ovation
    Over 10 years in the game I been patient
    God has always told me to be myself
    Let go and free yourself
    Tell the truth a shame Satan
    Know I gotta pave the way for the next generation
    That’s coming up under me and I love to see it
    thought I was bluffing
    Didn’t see it it coming
    Hold up
    Think this is cold you ain’t see nothing
    The glow up
    All the discussing
    But I don’t let it distract me
    Load the pen up cock it back and get to bussin
    Standing up to who I make the scene lie down
    Get it how I live it how it bees right now
    I got another 20 in the shit I’m cemented
    Take over businesses tell the kids start investing
    We built the pyramids can’t you see what we are blessed with
    From the hieroglyphics to the hood lyricist
    Priest the Imams
    The Good Books you live with
    The Rumi quotes
    The elder sisters
    The tribal mantras
    The jazz players
    Holistic doctors
    Spiritual teachers
    Doers and the Dulas
    The protectors and the rulers
    The kids of the future
    The immortal soldiers
    And the fearless protesters
    To the motivation speakers
    And the honest black leaders
    The divine healers
    The everyday low paid believers
    The overachievers in the shadow of the gate keepers
    Came down to teach us
    Blessed blessed blessed
    Blessed blessed blessed
    All these trophy’s in the crib got em sitting nice got em sitting nice (blessed blessed blessed)
    After all the hard work that we put inside
    Everybody claim to be boss but I’m a different kind
    Hate it or love it we rise above it

    Just realised at 0:57 when she says the line "so blessed, used to plug that 20 pound mic into the back of the mac" you can hear a little distortion sound effect of someone plugging a mic in, that's such insane attention to detail holy shit. It's very subtle but intentional, at first I thought my speakers were faultering a little until I read the lyrics

    As a 53 year old Black American, I am so overwhelmed by the Younger Female African and British Hip Hop Artists. The Vibes, Beats, Soulful Sounds, The Culture, Just the whole Package. Natural Melanin Beautiful Queens of the African Diaspora. I wish my American Artists would get on this level. Great love to the Little Simz, ENNY and Sampa The Great of the World.

    This is one of those songs that is so ahead of its time that it will still be ahead of its time when its time comes and will still be ahead of its time when its time has passed. It is beyond. The true-to-life embodiment of what Neil Gaiman meant when he wrote, "Songs remain. They last."
