PART 1: 9AM PRAISE SONG

[Verse 1: Clarence the Kid]
9am, it’s a beautiful day
I woke up in the morning so I gotta give thanks
Birds outside my window and they singing away
So I gotta thank the Lord, yeah, I’m giving Him praise
The plants on my windowsill in their regular place
With their leaves stretching out tryna absorb the rays
With the Son beaming down from the heavenly gates
If they can blindly follow then I can for sure do the same
So much thanks be to God, for He gives me the faith
When I’m down He gives me hope to see a brighter day
When I’m lost He gives me light so I can find my own way
When I’m lonely, He’s the homie that makes sures I’m okay
Oh man, I’m so humbled and so lucky He loves me
His glory washes over me like the pebbles in the Truckee
The kinda buddy that will give you butterflies in your tummy
Can’t hide him from me because He’s the only one who knows of me

[Hook 1]
I’m blessed, I’m blessed
Said I’m blessed, I’m blessed
I’m grateful and I’m blessed
Said I’m thankful and I’m blessed
All praise to the most high
He watches over me with a close eye
There is not a single day that goes by
Where I don’t think my God is a dope guy
I woke up each and everyday
And I hop out of bed giving Him all the praise
Giving him all the praise
This is my praise song

[Verse 2: Clarence the Kid]
I walk outside, thank God for the blessings
Left foot, right foot, there’s some bounce to my stepping
I feel invincible, I got the protection
Daddy’s watching over me, I will die by no weapon
I am who I am and I’m fine with me
Wearing bright pink crocs walking down the street
Got cargo shorts and a cheesy tee
I’m just doing the things that make me happy
And my hair’s nappy and my eyes baggy
But I don’t give a damn, I still feel swaggy
There is nothing in the world that I cannot be
There is nothing in the world that can distract me
From chasing dreams, I never thought that I
Could ever be so damn satisfied
But thanks to the man up in the sky
I know everything’s gonna be alright
To be honest I don’t really understand
Why we’re living in a world that’s got so many demands
You gotta get a job, make a couple hundred grand
Get a girl and a car and you still won’t be the man
Like damn, whoever thought that was the truth
Better sit your butt down I won’t listen to you
I spent so much time tryna follow the rules
But in the end I was just sad and didn’t know what to do
You a fool, screw your lesson I got one that’s even better
We were put onto this earth so that we could love one another
Be the butter to the bread, gotta take it all and spread
Get that whole loaf covered and pass it ahead
I’ve stopped taking as much as I actually give
I am finally content, and heaven forbid
I ever fall back to that, no I gotta get rid
Of that negativity, thanks to God I can live

[Hook 1]
Cuz I’m blessed, I’m blessed
Said I’m blessed, I’m blessed
I’m grateful and I’m blessed
Said I’m thankful and I’m blessed
All praise to the most high
He watches over me with a close eye
There is not a single day that goes by
Where I don’t think my God is a dope guy
I wake up each and everyday
And I hop out of bed giving Him all the praise
Giving him all the praise
This is my praise song


[Interlude]
I stand here before you as a God-fearing young man
A young man who knows that with God all things are possible
A young man who knows that God is not dead, he’s very much alive
A young man who knows that prayer changes things
A young man who knows that Jesus saves
A young man who knows that God is the way, the truth, and the light
A young man who loves God with all his heart and soul


PART 2: THANK YOU FOR THE BLESSINGS

[Hook 2: Emily Hunter]
Another night and you’ll be knocking at my window
I wouldn’t answer if I took my own advice
You gave me something that I wanted to believe in
I give up hope when every moment goes by
Another night and you’ll be knocking at my window
I wouldn’t answer if I took my own advice
You gave me something that I wanted to believe in
I give up hope when every moment goes by

[Verse 3: Clarence the Kid]
I used to be scared of failure, I used to be scared of demons
I used to be scared of dying, had nothing I could believe in
I was looking for a reason, life shifting like the four seasons
Until I started believing in you
You took me and held me closely I wasn’t even remotely
Aware at our introduction that the Holy Ghost would show me
An entire world of hope because the Lord already knows me
That’s when I started believing in you
I was so messy but my God cooked up a recipe
That would take my mustard seed and grow it into a mustard tree
He saw the best in me and He built me up exponentially
That’s why I stay believing in you
You inspire me and you lovingly embrace me and keep hugging me
The miracles you perform in my life are always stunning me
You were the first one who loved me, so in return I’m loving thee
I’m blessed to be believing in you, yeah

[Hook 2: Emily Hunter]
Another night and you’ll be knocking at my window
Another night and you’ll be knocking at my window
You gave me something that I wanted to believe in
I give up hope when every moment goes by
Another night and you’ll be knocking at my window
Another night and you’ll be knocking at my window
You gave me something that I wanted to believe in
I give up hope when every moment goes by

[Verse 4: Clarence the Kid]
Praise be to the Lord my God
He brought back hope when the hope was gone
He gave me life and he keeps me going
And so he’s the one I devote this song to
He’s the only person that would come through
When I had nobody I could turn to
I let God in and then “Pew”
Now I have a fire that can burn through
Every bit of doubt and fear
I have stopped comparing myself to all my fears
I will not let negativity bring the tears
I’m on top of my game, I can hear all the cheers
Of all the people that support me, my fam
My friends, my God, and all of the fans
In the stands with they hands in the air right here
Let it breathe yeah
Alright we right back in it like we just getting started
Thinking back to 8th grade when I departed
On a journey that would eventually make me an artist
To be honest, never thought that this would happen so I’m honored
And I’m ballin, not like I’m putting the rock through the lace
No I’m bawling, I’m astounded by the depth of the grace
I used to feel so alone, now I feel so at home
No I could not condone my life and so I’ve grown
Into the person that looks back at me from the crystal mirror
Make it crystal clear, I’m happy that I met you
Thank you for the blessings
