On the beach by sundown, I wanna see your face
On the beach down, past downtown, show me your fate
Hm
Show me your vulnerability, show me, all the things you hide inside
Show me your dark corners of your mind
And just like your mama said
Don't be paranoid
Don't be scared
Don't be ashamed
Watch your back sun, free your mind
Watch your back sun
Count your blessings, ease your mind
Count your blessings
Let down your soul so me and sister can play in your knowledge beads
Nurture our minds to bread us of one of kind
We will learn in time
These times get harder everyday
Will we ever learn to ease this pain
Will we hold tight to the simple things you said
But if we do like our mama said
We can't go wrong
Reap what we sow
We can be free, just so long as we believe
Watch your back sun, free your mind
Watch your back sun
Count your blessings, ease your mind
Count your blessings
You see its so hard to save when you constantly need
You stacking all your paper to make your ends meet
Will you ever see at day of a proper checking,
Where you can spend all your money be as free as can be
Does freedom bring a paper chase yes indeed,
Soon as you stack a leaf they chop down your tree
Keep you scrambling, tryna free money
To live to only pray for a pot to pee
You're mind wondering toward the sky and the universe
To know this much could be a gift and curse
So if you blow from the tree of knowledge take stride
And hold on tight to your survival guide
