I don’t know when I started rapping. I don’t know how I started rapping, but I know I wrote a verse and I was stuck ever since," he explained.

Stevens was born and raised in the suburb of Carson, California. He grew up with middle class parents, who owned a local record store called Magic Disc Music, where Stevens had to go everyday after school: "I worked there my whole life. We closed it last April. For a long time it was just something that my mom sold, it was just our business, so I didn't really care for it. I didn't understand the big deal about it, it was something we sold for money. It was my mom's job. Somewhere along the line, with my love and compassion for words and stories, I found a collection of music." At the age of 10, Stevens contracted Stevens–Johnson syndrome which caused him to be hospitalised and is the origin of his dark lips and light sensitive eyes: "When I got had got sick when I was younger of course it affected my lip skin, so coming up in school I had very dark lips and my eyes were low. I had to wear shades and shit. So I was quite peculiar. People teased me about my lips, and say I look high. I didn't even start smoking weed until after I graduated from high school."

Hey you, you're a child in my head
You haven't walked yet
Your first words have yet to be said
But I swear you'll be blessed
I know you're still just a dream
your eyes might be green
Or the bluest that I've ever seen
Anyway you'll be blessed
And you, you'll be blessed
You'll have the best
I promise you that
I'll pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that
You'll be blessed
I need you before I'm too old
To have and to hold
To walk with you and watch you grow
Verse
Blessed are those who dwell in Your house
They are ever praising You
Blessed are those whose strength is in You
Whose hearts are set on our God
And we will go from strength to strength
Until we see You face to face
Chorus
Hear our prayer
O Lord God Almighty
Come bless our land
As we seek You
Worship You
Bridge
For You are holy
For You are holy
When I think, how life used to be
Always walking in the shadows
Then I look at what you've given me
I feel like dancing on my tip-toes
I must say, everyday I wake
And realize you're by my side
I know I'm truly
Blessed for everything you've given me
Blessed for all the tenderness you show
Do my best with every breath that's in me
Blessed to make sure you never go
There are times that I test your faith
'Til you think you might surrender
Baby I'm, I'm not ashamed to say
That my hopes were growing slender
You walked by in the nick of time
Looking like an answer prayer
You know I'm truly
Blessed for everything you've given me
Blessed for all the tenderness you show
Do my best with every breath that's in me
Blessed to make sure you never go
Blessed with love and understanding
Blessed when I hear you call my name
Do my best with faith that's never-ending
Blessed to make sure you feel the same
Deep inside of me you fill me
With your gentle touch
You know I'm truly
Blessed for everything you've given me
Blessed for all the tenderness you show
Do my best with every breath that's in me
I may never climb a mountain
So I can see the world from there
I may never ride the waves
And taste the salty ocean air
Or build a bridge
That would last a hundred years
But no matter where the road leads
One thing is always clear
I am blessed
I am blessed
From when I rise up in the morning
Til I lay my head to rest
I feel You near me
You soothe me when I'm weary
Oh Lord, for all the worst and all the best
I am blessed
All along the road less traveled
I have crawled and I have run
I have wandered through the wind and rain
Until I found the sun
The watching eyes ask me why
I walk this narrow way
I will gladly give the reason
For the hope I have today
repeat chorus
You've given me joy
You've given me love
You give me strength
When I want to give up
You came from heaven
To rescue my soul
This is the reason I know, I know
Blessed
I get kissed by the sun
Each morning
Put my feet on a hardwood floor
I get to hear my children laughing
Down the hall through the
Bedroom door
Sometimes I sit on my
Front porch swing
Just soaking up the day
I think to myself, I think to myself
This world is a beautiful place
I have been blessed
And I feel like I’ve found my way
I thank God for all I’ve been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones
That love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed
Across a crowded room,
I know you know what I’m thinking
By the way I look at you
And when we’re lying in the quiet and
No words have to be said
I think to myself, I think to myself
This love is a beautiful gift
Repeat chorus
When I’m singing my kids to sleep
When I feel you holding me
I know
Life is hard, work is dirty
Friends plead poverty
Fame and fortune keeps it's own time
So don't wait up
But if you can feel the sun
If you can feel the rain
Life can't be bad
If you've got food to eat
And all your dreams to dream
Life can't be bad
If you can walk away
And fight another day
Life can't be that bad
For all the things that I can do
How could I complain
I've got no broken wings
I've got a heart that sings
Blessed are those who dwell in Your house
They are ever praising You
Blessed are those whose strength is in You
Whose hearts are set on our God
Blessed are those who dwell in Your house
They are ever praising You
Blessed are those whose strength is in You
Whose hearts are set on our God
Blessed are those who dwell in Your house
They are ever praising You
Blessed are those whose strength is in You
Whose hearts are set on our God
We will go from strength to strength
Until we see, You face to face
Hear our prayer oh, Lord, God Almighty
Come bless our land as we seek You
Worship You, everyone should
Blessed are those who dwell in Your house
They are ever praising You
Blessed are those whose strength is in You
Whose hearts are set on our God
We will go from strength to strength
Until we see, You face to face
Hear our prayer oh, Lord, God Almighty
Come bless our land as we seek You
Worship You
Hear our prayer oh, Lord, God Almighty
Come bless our land as we seek You
Worship You, we seek Your love
For You are holy, for You are holy
For You are holy, Lord
For You are holy, for You are holy
For You are holy, Lord
For You are holy, for You are holy
For You are holy, Lord
For You are holy, for You are holy
For You are holy, Lord
Hear our prayer oh, Lord, God Almighty
Come bless our land as we seek You
Worship You
Hear our prayer oh, Lord, God Almighty
Come bless our land as we seek You
Blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed
(Chorus)
We're blessed in the city
We're blessed in the field
We're blessed when we come and when we go
We cast down every stronghold
Sickness and poverty must cease
For the devil is defeated
We are blessed
(Verse 1)
Since thou has walked uprightly
As a light in a dark land
Since thou has placed in thy heart
All the Lord's commands
He's set thee above nations
And cast thine enemies away
He's standing up within thee
So let me hear you say
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
We know that God's word
Is clothed in truth and righteousnes
We are his children
And with our heart we do confess
(Chorus)
(Special vamp)
Late in the midnight hour
God's gonna turn it around
We were blessed by the minister
Who practiced what he preached
We were blessed by the poor man
Who said heaven is within reach
We were blessed by the girl selling roses
Showed us how to live
We were blessed by the neglected child
Who knew how to forgive
We were blessed by the battered woman
Who didn?t seek revenge
We were blessed by the warrior
Who didn?t need to win
We were blessed by the blind man
Who could see for miles and miles
We were blessed by the fighter
Who didn?t fight for the prize
We were blessed by the mother
Who gave up the child
We were blessed by the soldier
Who gave up his life
We were blessed by the teacher
Who didn?t have a degree
We were blessed by the prisoner
Who knew how to be free
We were blessed
Yeah, we were blessed
We were blessed by the mystic
Who turned water into wine
We were blessed by the watchmaker
Who gave up his time
We were blessed by the wounded man
Who felt no pain
By the wayfaring stranger
Who knew our names
We were blessed by the homeless man
Who showed us the way home
We were blessed by the hungry man
Who filled us with love
By the little innocent baby
Who taught us the truth
We were blessed by the forlorn
Forsaken and abused
We were blessed
Yeah, we were blessed
Mnn, we were blessed
Yeah, we were blessed
Tonight my life is moving fast
I sit and watch the demons pass
A world I know but never seen
A fear that ripped the colour from me
I lit a candle for the day
Saw the light around your head
Walked where angels never go
Saw them shining from below
It's easy when you're blessed
With money, love and sex
You're not like all the rest
It's easy when you're blessed
And did your mother lie to you?
You got God and death confused
I can't blame it on your soul
There was nowhere else it could go
It's easy when you're blessed
With money, love and sex
You're not like all the rest
It's easy when you're blessed
Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
they are ever praising you.
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose eyes are set on God.
We will go from strength to strength
until we see you face to face
Hear Our prayer, oh God Almighty.
Come bless our land as we seek you,
worship you
For you are holy, you are holy
For you are holy, Lord

O Lord, why have you forsaken me?
I have tended my own garden

O Lord, Why have you forsaken me?
I have tended my own garden
Much too long.
Loaded as the sun above
I dig myself
Drinking washes the gray away
It kissed my brain
Smoking makes me catch my breath
I feel alone
Now I feel my inner self
Incarnation of Christ
Now the lungs of the universe
Are the lungs of my soul
I can feel it
I can sense it
Hallelujah Bless my soul
Monday morning you enter hell
Not me I'm not a fool, no I'm not a whore
Haven't sold my soul
Monday morning I open a beer
And light a cigarr
Put my pen to paper and write I hate you all
I don’t like the way that it’s going
The world is shaking
The volume’s going up everyday
Here’s a ...
Can’t keep up this rapid pace, for much longer
Like so crazy when I look up, snowing in summer
So easy for me to forget, how I keep it all together
Keep it all together
And there’s so much going on, in the world
I just gotta remember, I just gotta remember
[Chorus]
So blessed, yeah, uh, blessed to have you right here by my side
Next to me when life cuts like a knife
Sometimes I complain, it’s weird I have to say
It might be under shade,
I’m so blessed, yes, yes, yes
I’m so blessed, yes, yes, yes
Even in and out of my best, you love me harder
I can be rough I must confess, like no other
Cause things in front you sometimes
You take for granted
When they disappear, it’s clear, how much it matters
So easy for me to forget, how I keep it all together
Keep it all together
And there’s so much going on, in the world
I just gotta remember, I just gotta remember
[Chorus]
So blessed, yeah, uh, blessed to have you right here by my side
Next to me when life cuts like a knife
Sometimes I complain, it’s weird I have to say
It might be under shade,
I’m so blessed, yes, yes, yes
I’m so blessed, yes, yes, yes
I’m so blessed, yes, yes, yes
Everyday, even know sometimes I complain
24/7, hand reaching down from heaven
Oh yeah,
I’m so blessed, yes, yes, yes
I’m so blessed, yes, yes, yes
I’m blessed, oh yeah, I’m blessed yeah
With your mauve Pillow.
And your laddered tights
With your neat Covers.
And your midnight Eyes.
With your sisters in The suburbs.
With your ballerina’s Grace.
You smile and I am blessed.
You laugh and I am possessed.
You climb
The clouds caress.
Yes, I am blessed.
Yes, I am blessed.
With your grey Denim.
And your hostile life.
With your teeth Missing.
And your mystic eyes.
With your tenderness And trouble.
With your son Against your breast.
You smile and I am blessed.
You laugh and I am possessed.
You climb
The clouds caress.
Yes, I am blessed.
Yes, I am blessed.
You smile and I am blessed.
You lie and I am dust.
And you ride
London’s wilderness.
Yes, I am blessed.
It was night when they came
evil and deceit were hidden under frocks
on their necks-crosses in their hands-swords
they came to kill on behalf of their God
dissimilarity is imprisoned
in the darkness of the dungeons
the old faith impaled on the stake
old holy groves were destroyed
in the name of the cross
against other people
against the truth
against everyone
against yourself
tortures of liberated souls
which are decaying in the cells of the ecclesiastical strongholds
the knights of good are distributing death
I may never climb a mountain
So I can see the world from there
I may never ride the waves
And taste the salty ocean air
Or build a bridge
That would last a hundred years
But no matter where the road leads
One thing is always clear
I am blessed, I am blessed
From when I rise up in the morning
Till I lay my head to rest, I feel You near me
You soothe me when I'm weary
Oh, Lord, for all the worst and all the best
I am blessed
All along the road less traveled
I have crawled and I have run
I have wandered through the wind and rain
Until I found the sun
The watching eyes, ask me why?
I walk this narrow way
I will gladly give the reason
For the hope I have today
I am blessed, I am blessed
From when I rise up in the morning
Till I lay my head to rest, I feel You near me
You soothe me when I'm weary
Oh, Lord, for all the worst and all the best
I am blessed
You've given me joy, You've given me love
You give me strength when I want to give up
You came from Heaven to rescue my soul
This is the reason I know, I know
Oh, oh, oh, oh, know
I am blessed
From when I rise up in the morning
Till I lay my head to rest, I feel You near me
You soothe me when I'm weary
Oh, Lord, for all the worst and all the best, oh, ooh, oh
Oh, Lord, for all the worst and all the best
Dancing in our rooms, you knew all the moves
Thinkin of Mom in saddle shoes, it was amazing
Laughing family, long Monopoly
Sunday night TV, Adam and Hop Sing
We were as blessed as blessed can be
You and Mom and Dad and me
Singin' in 4 part harmony
“I Love To Tell The Story”
Me and my guitar, softball in the yard
Breezeway playin' cards with half of the neighborhood
Their crazy bridge club nights, Sunday back road drives
Running for our lives down into Rhode's woods
And it seemed like something just this side of heaven
Comin' from the AM radio
And it felt like it would just go on forever
Singin “Long Time Man” and “Pretty Peggy-o”
Now we're old and gray, mem'ries fade away
These are here to stay, that is out blessing
“I love to tell the story
'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Night and day our time just slips into forever
In my room the universe collides around us
No more promises and no regrets
You're so different from all the rest
And when I'm in you I feel blessed
A soft machine a delicate surprise waiting
An inverse dream underneath the sky of mirrors
No more promises and no regrets
You're so different from all the rest
And when I'm in you I feel blessed
A spinning wheel
Your flesh reveals my mind in detail
Perfect design
The movement takes me past heaven
No more promises and no regrets
You're so different from all the rest
I welcome the sun,
the clouds and rain,
the wind that sweeps the sky clean
and lets the sun shine again.
this is the most magnificent life has ever been.
here is heaven and earth
and the brilliant sky in between.
blessed is this life
and I'm gonna celebrate being alive.
blessed is this life
and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
I dwell in the darkness
I live in the light
I sleep in the afternoon
and become the noise in the night
I trespass in temptation
suffered in sacrifice
but I awake each day with a new sunrise
blessed is this life, oh
and I'm gonna celebrate being alive
blessed is this life, oh
Angry with life
You play the wrong game
You’re a fake
With all that you have
Still you don’t feel blessed
A dedicated family
They’re not rich but they care
Still you don’t wanna be seen as a poor
So you deny your bloodhood
Wake up grow up
You have it all everybody should have
Wake up grow up
From all that you have, you’re the blessed
Angry with life
You play the wrong game
You’re a fool
With all that you have
Still you don’t feel blessed
The respect from your crew
All your friends are true
Still you don’t wanna be seen as a poor
So you deny your brotherhood
Blessed Blessed
You have it all
You’re the blessed you’re the blessed
flowers on the roadside
you've so much to hide
straying from a white line
can never be too far away
so my lonliness is hanging on
you sit beside me
geisha grateful and some
looking out the window
its a television show
made for you and i
you could never be replaced
so no matter how hard it gets
lets laugh in the face of death
while we are still blessed
will we survive
these machines on overdrive
you must be bold
to overcome the cold
that comes with being left alive
you could never be replaced
so no matter how hard it gets
lets laugh in the face of death
while we are still blessed
flowers on the roadside
my lonliness is real
straying from the white line
can never be too far away
so hang on my love hang on

(Chorus - Tshawe)
It was night when they came and stared in my eyes,
Evil and deceit were hidden under frocks,
On their necks - crosses, in their hands - swords,
They came to kill on behalf of their god.
The similarity is imprisoned,
In the darkness of the dungeon.
The old faith - impaled,
On the stake of disgrace.
Old Holy groves, they were destroyed,
In the name of the cross.
Against other people,
Against the truth,
Against everyone,
Against yourself.
Tortures of liberated souls,
Which are decaying in the cells of ecclesiastical strongholds,
The knights of good are distributing death,
Spreading violence in the name of God.
I've been blessed by the heavens above
I can't believe that this is real
I've never felt the way you make me feel
I've been blessed by the heavens about
Let me take it back yawl
I can still remember the way that I felt
I've been blessed by the heavens above
When I be sittin' on the floor in front of the TV, yeah
I've been blessed by the heavens above
Watchin' music videos and sayin' to myself
I've been blessed by the heavens above
I hope and pray that one day that'll be me
You know I
I've been blessed by the heavens above (I've been blessed)
I've been blessed by the heavens above
I can't believe that this is real
I've never felt the way you make me feel (I've never felt this way)
I've been blessed by the heavens above (Oh I've been blessed, yeah)
I can't believe that this is real
I've never felt the way you make me feel (I've never felt this way)
You know
Now there were days when I'd ask Heaven is it my turn
I've been blessed by the heavens above
I thought I was ready to be a big star
I've been blessed by the heavens above
But there were so many things that I needed to learn
I've been blessed by the heavens above
Now I'm so grateful for coming this far
I've been blessed by the heavens above (I've been blessed)
I've been blessed by the heavens above
I can't believe that this is real (I can't believe)
I've never felt the way you make me feel (Oh, oh)
I've been blessed by the heavens above (I've been blessed)
I can't believe that this is real
I've never felt the way you make me feel (I never felt, you know)
For just being able to do what I love to do
I've never felt the way you make me feel
The doors never closed on me my faith got me though, yeah
I've been blessed by the heavens above
And now that I've got the chance I'm gonna bring it to yawl
I've never felt the way you make me feel
I'm gonna give it my all

Let's go out on a bus
And watch the world run dry
And tell everyone on board
That in dreams we could hide
No one gets off
Until the meter breaks down
As water cracks the glass
Our wishes are found
You have the eyes that can tear the sea
Confession is good for the soul they say
Well now it's my turn
I'm willing to share all I've learned someday
But some days not willing to learn
I don't always like to be told
What's right from wrong
I'm selfish sometimes when I don't want to be
How can you stand me?
Oh Lord, why do you hold on?
Chorus:
I'm always talking about the way you blessed me, oh yeah
I'm always singing about how good you are
But I don't always tell
That it's despite of myself
You know I haven't been good
Some days I don't do what I should
Yet your mercy somehow endures.
There's no other love that compares to yours
It's hard to understand.
How you never repay me what I deserve
I think you that you're not like man
(Not like man)
See sometimes I desire to give hurt for hurt
Yet I know that's not like you
Yet this old flesh of mine tries to win every time
I'm grateful your word is true
You faithfully see me through
Chorus
Your mercy (Is good and it's kind)
Your mercy (Is brand new everyday)
Confession is good for the soul they say
Well now it's my turn
I'm willing to share all I've learned someday
But some days not willing to learn
I don't always like to be told
What's right from wrong
I'm selfish sometimes when I don't want to be
How can you stand me?
Oh Lord, why do you hold on?
Chorus:
I'm always talking about the way you blessed me, oh yeah
I'm always singing about how good you are
But I don't always tell
That it's despite of myself
You know I haven't been good
Some days I don't do what I should
Yet your mercy somehow endures.
There's no other love that compares to yours
It's hard to understand.
How you never repay me what I deserve
I think you that you're not like man
(Not like man)
See sometimes I desire to give hurt for hurt
Yet I know that's not like you
Yet this old flesh of mine tries to win every time
I'm grateful your word is true
You faithfully see me through
Chorus
Your mercy (Is good and it's kind)
Your mercy (Is brand new everyday)
[Verse 1: ScHoolBoy Q]
What it's like for a nigga like me
Livin' out his backpack every night needin' a new place to sleep
But this is now, nigga!
Ones for the money, two for the bitches
Three to get ready cause I feel I finally did it
Four's for the jealous rapper mad because he finished
Turn that motherfucker to a critic
Man, I got so much shit up on my plate dawg
I was hangin' on them corners late
Pockets wasn't straight, bitch
I ain't gon' make it at this rate, dawg
Know what I'm sayin'?
Nigga prayin' up to God just hopin' that he hear a nigga
I know the world got more problems and it's much bigger
But I figured, I'd get some shit up off my chest
To all my niggas I would die for
Load my pistol up, go out and war for
To all my niggas that'll never make it out the streets
Fuck it, keep goin' hard, don't let ‘em see you weak
To all my niggas first time steppin' in the pen
Read a book and exercise, keep your spirit in
To all my niggas that's gon' fuck around and die today
Take our hats off, bow our heads and let us pray
Just wanna say
[Hook: ScHoolBoy Q]
Stay blessed my nigga, blessed my nigga
Really think about it, could be worse my nigga
Don't stress my nigga, yes my nigga
We all blessed my nigga
[Verse 2: ScHoolBoy Q]
Now how the fuck I'm ‘posed to say this?
You see, my nigga just lost his son while I'm here huggin' on my daughter
I grip her harder
Kiss her on the head as I cry for a bit
Thinkin' of some bullshit to tell him, like
“It'll be okay. You'll be straight, it'll be aight.”
Well, fuck that shit, whatever you need, yo, I got it!
Whether it's money or some weed or puttin' in work, fuck it, then I'm ridin'!
You know wassup, but now a nigga couldn't stick around
Told myself that after y'all moved that I'd be a fuckin' fool
To be livin' by the street rules
Fuck police tattoos, that happens when you ditch school
But anyway, keep the faith, stay strong brah
Remain' solid brah
Keep playin' ball cause it's the only way up out it brah
A nigga proud of ya'
Tell Floyd to enjoy his newborn seed, I'll have whatever he needs
We the last of a dyin' breed, live life, smoke trees
See how far we've come, but most, I'm sorry for your son
[Hook]
[Bridge: Ab-Soul]
And you ain't gotta shed no tear
I'll be everywhere
And I'mma always be right here
I ain't forgot those years
I'll be everwhere
But I'mma always be right here
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
Livin' in a premature place – wait
Never grow to see the pearly gates – break
Every time a bullet detonate – dates
Of obituary carry crates of a scary picture
With a family member that relate to ya
In December you was finna pin another case
On your record in a stolen Expedition, play it safe
As the record spinnin' you was hearin' angels entertain
Every pun intended, that was wicked, comin' from your brain
Recognize you listened and you didn't hit the block again
That's because the minute after you had moved you would be slain
Open up another chapter in the book and read ‘gain
Story of a gun-clapper really tryna make a change
Everybody ain't (blessed my nigga)
Yes, my nigga, you're blessed
Take advantage, do your best, my nigga
Don't stress, you was granted everything inside this planet
Anything you imagine, you possess, my nigga
You reject these niggas, that neglect, your respect
For the progress of a baby step, my nigga
Step, step my nigga
One, two, skip, skip
Back, back, look both ways
Pull it off the hip
Blast at anybody say that you can't flip
This crack into rap music every other zip is a track
Get used to it, get it off quick
Come back, give back to the city you've built
That's that, don't trip, see money, fuck niggas, dawg
It ain't nothin' but a bunch of fuck niggas dawg
In a minute everybody gon' be winnin'
Put a little faith in it then recognize that we all
I am so obsessed
with all your sacred gifts
your beauty surely is
designed to save my soul
and rescue from the grey
my air, my sound, my substance
my fate, my path, my inner
my frozen labyrint
and if it ends right here
I won't resist the call
no need for hesitation
no joy I could have missed
I'll dive into the dark
forearmed for the last fight
my purpose is fulfilled
'cause I'm blessed with your love
I am on your drip
wraped inside your flames
floating in black water
filled with unknown hurt
your lips my temple
your voice my sooting wind
your touch my morphin
your eyes - my infinity
and if it ends right here
I won't resist the call
no need for hesitation
no joy I could have missed
I'll dive into the dark
forearmed for the last fight
my purpose is fulfilled
