[Verse 1: Bless]
I grew up thinking I was comfortable with life
Despite the brightness of my skin when I was young, I’d be alright
But dang, you’re like a timeout from reality
Tonight, feeling tears building up but still they never saw the light of day
Thinking I’m powerless; forever scarred
Forever y’all are close, but never close enough for comfort like we built a wall
I can recall you crying tears because you fell
But what’s weird, is when you stopped, you asked me if I was okay
Hali always understood me, that was years ago
Now, not a soul understands; what should I expect from peers though?
Its past true, Vale said its past due to reckon
The people you that think highly of are probably thinking less of you
Hold your confidence the way you hold on to your mom
You get your beauty from her; I hope you grow better than I did
Aaliyah means rising; growing up before my eyes
Only two and you probably know more; I’m just blinded by the dark side

[Hook: Bless]
Where am I going, there’s no where to go
Come on, flying baby; you can (fly with me)
You can (fly with me) x3

Where am I going, there's no where to go
Come on, flying baby; you can, and you can
(Fly, fly with me)

[Verse 2: Bless]
Man, I’m speechless, and broken
Someone at school said
“Look, I see that you’re focused, but why aren’t you open like the rest of us?”
I told them, you’re problems aren’t mine
So, if I follow what you say, it’s the blind leading the blind
See, here lies a teen that gets more personal with this
In which I’m spilling verses wishing it was really worth your ears
Yeah, I thought of Hali saying
“Homeboy, I feel you but if you love something too much, I guarantee it’ll kill you”
And that was true enough to strike me as a sign
It’s difficult, seeing you in pain; trying to keep your eyes open
I often wonder why I panic more than anybody
It wasn’t fear, but urgency to see you here without these – tubes in your nose
I hugged your mom because I love her just as much
But sometimes I feel as if it’s not enough
I miss you both; honestly I hope you get this letter
It’s delivered to the most beautiful mother/daughter duo ever

[Hook: Bless]
Where am I going, there's no where to go
Come on, flying baby; you can, and you can
(Fly, fly with me)

Where am I going, there’s no where to go
Come on, flying baby; you can (fly with me)
You can (fly with me) x3
