I count my blessings regardless of my short-comings things I did I shouldn't have words I spoke that caused pain still the blessings flow evermore everyday in every way
cant help but fall in love with this song, so rare that you hear something like this now, so rare , thank you Nas and Damian , and thank you for sharing, from the hearttt
This is one of the most beautiful masterpieces eva written... and the music and instruments really exert that rare essence of "Love" that's missin in 99.9% of today's artists. Nas and Damian Marley are legendary masterminds who are way beyond the term "artists"... these are "MUSICIANS"... at least Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, Teddy Pendergrass, Johnnie Taylor, Willie Hutch, David Ruffin, Tupac, Big L, and all the other pioneers have not labored in vain.
glad to see some good people with smart truthful comments on youtube for once. u all said it perfectly. Rejoice and give praise to our holy father. Great music Nas & Damian
i was yesterday at is concert with nas here in portugal and it was AMAZING he his a god just like his father, in the end they paly "could u be loved" in memory of the GREAT BOB MARLEY Peace
Am a proud african,roof ova my head,lovely fam, and though am far far far far from near being rich,am blessed.................best song on the album!!in my opinion
"keep your composure like Gershwin".....nas damn, how many of you even know that George Gershwin is a famous composer? I learned that shit in music class in the 4th grade, and to hear Nas say it, it just proves he is a master, and that knowledge is power.
yep this real music the kind top have u kicking back jus relaxing the mind frim the strauins of life and jus live the title truly do count ur blessing cause jus having life is a blessing so big up to this lovely composed song ..... nuff respect
this song makes you love & appreciate life!...and what you have ....the message is just straight, positive and timeless i relate soo much! kinda like the other tracks "friends" ... "patience".."nah mean" ..."in his own words".....etc this is my favorite album everr whenever im asked my fav track from distant relatives i end up calling out all the songs....they follow this cool sequence from "as we enter" .. "strong will continue".."africa must wake up".."tribes at war" awesomeee! :D
I love this song it keeps me going , also it's very motivational and my head up , seriously if u dislike this you're a definitely psychologically disturbed dude
@ShootingGuard16 That's y I respect him for not trying to remake ILLMATIC like critics nd fans keep wanting him to do, if he did that it wouldn't have the same impact b/c he's not that person anymore, a poor teen livin in the inner city with no prospects for the future, nd that's really the theme throughout alot of the songs on Illmatic, some people mature nd grow with time, it's just sad more Hiphop artist don't show the same growth in their music.
The horrible affects of inequality needs to be battled wit love and understanding not pointing fingers our ancestors helped perpetuate divide by capturing weaker tribes and selling them as slaves to the americas we need to wright that selfish atrocity starting with loving ourselves and giving to all those we encounter support my humble effort to understanding!
How does this have fucking any dislikes?...what do those people have no blessings? Or are they mad that their favorite mainstream bullshit artists dont know how to write meaningful songs that they can relate to? There really is no excuse for anyone to dislike a powerful song like this! "So when your pockets light, know that you have a heavy purpose" - Nas I mean seriously this is real as fuck!
@keshav1001 Yeah Nas is a fuckin intelligent dude! this guy taught himself truth since like he was 14 year old by reading books, dictionary's, and all the craziest things ever! thats why his raps are like no other, cuz Nas wasnt poisoned by school systems and expanded his minds to all possibilities
@keshav1001 I'm sorry but I dont understand how this is a compliment. You're saying that you learned about Gershwin in music class in 4th Grade and you're surprised that a grown man knows that same thing? hmmm
I usually don't say this, but who was the blind idiot that disliked this song?? On another note, great song and I listen to it on the way to work just about every morning.
@djdubbzy You need to learn how to spell correctly and use proper grammar if you're going to make such a long comment. Here you go: The horrible EFFECTS of inequality NEED to be battled WITH love and understanding, not BY pointing fingers. Our ancestors helped perpetuate divide
I count my blessings
regardless of my short-comings
things I did I shouldn't have
words I spoke that caused pain
still the blessings flow evermore
everyday in every way
