[Intro: Tarrus Riley & Konshens]
Chimney hey, hey
New Government
Give thanks
Singy...
You know
Everyday aye, aye
Realest thing me hear in awhile, brother
We give thanks
Too real
[Verse 1: Tarrus Riley & Konshens]
You spent all that money on your watch (Bling bling)
How much time you spend with your son? (Yeah)
So much money in the club
How much you spend with the ones you love?
[Chorus: Tarrus Riley]
The simple things a your blessings
Simple things dem a your blessings, your blessings
Simple things a your blessings
Hey, you no notice your blessings?
[Verse 2: Tarrus Riley & Konshens]
You're picky with the shoes pon your feet
Nah pick and choose the friends weh you keep (You know dem?)
You nah watch wha' you eat?
When last you get a good sleep?
[Chorus: Tarrus Riley]
The simple things a your blessings
Simple things a your blessings, your blessings
Simple things a your blessings
Hey, you better notice your blessings
[Verse 3: Konshens]
Singy, simplicity we use fi survive
Many find it difficult because dem ignorant and hype
One alone you get, you nah go live another life
Telling dem again, but anuh inna that deh voice
Life no give chance too often
Cut out some of the sadness and invest inna laughing
Time you take a stress, lifetime passing
Tell dem say you love dem before you see dem in a coffin
Let me tell you this, mi nigga
Good days, bad days, you no see a weather?
Me woulda trade house, and car, and cheddar just fi get one more minute with mi brother
So, you better spend time together
Cherish every second of the day when you deh yah
Gotta tell you...I had a close one yesterday, Jah put an angel over me
[Chorus: Tarrus Riley]
The simple things a your blessings
Simple things dem a your blessings, your blessings
Simple things a your blessings
Hey, you no notice your blessings?
The simple things a your blessings
Simple things a your blessings, your blessings
Simple things a your blessings
Hey, you better notice your blessings
[Verse 4: Tarrus Riley]
We got life, so let's live
You make the time fi chase the paper, when last you say a prayer?
We got life, so let's live
And while you're worshipping your treasure, 'memba nothing lasts forever
[Chorus: Tarrus Riley]
The simple things a your blessings
Simple things dem a your blessings, your blessings
Simple things dem a your blessings
You better notice your blessings
The simple things dem a your blessings
Simple things dem a your blessings, your blessings
Simple things dem a your blessings
You better notice your blessings
[Outro: Tarrus Riley]
Simple things
Oh, the simple things
Health and strength
Oh, the simple things
Let me tell you 'bout the simple things
Family and friends anuh simple things
Ha!
(You better notice your blessings...)
