* Pre-covid collab. First one with my dude ABF. We shot the video in Hawaii, just before all the craziness. I already felt the need to Bless Up, but I had no idea how crucial it'd be to survive 2020.

Abstract Butta Fingas, possessed by Infinite Bliss,
Here to exist like a wish list, just to give you a bit,
Of that divine mind frame, that combines time frames,
With future ripe planes, of lands that sustain aim.
It's time to stake claim. Protect our main frame.
Planet Earth! I've had enough of this worthless turf!
Its getting too polluted out here, TRUST.
Mama's about to burn all of us, lice out her hair.
Beware and aware, of those that cease to care.
They attempt to control our stare,
With idiotic orange glare.
But not me, I deflect idocracy.
I suspect all they present as reality.
It's time to bless up!
Live that life that we're meant to.
Help who you can, but don't waste energy on that doo-doo.
Keep you mind clear, these smoke and mirrors we can see through.
Live life to the fullest, grounded, like we're meant to.
It's nothin' new, that news is used to confuse and distract.
Cause nothin's free in the land of milk and honey “nope”.
Life's a funny dummy like that “yep”.
Sometimes she hit;s you with a spiked bat.
But sometimes it's just a lover's spat.
So it's us who must lust to trust, where we're at.
It's rock bottom, but only up from here.
Feet in the dirt. Chest up.
Go ahead, fill up that Bliss Cup.
It's time to thrive without fear.
It's time to bless up!
Live that life that we're meant to.
Help who you can, but don't waste energy on that doo-doo.
Keep you mind clear, smoke and mirrors we can see through.
Live life to the fullest, grounded, like we're meant to.
