The song's infectious hook, led by Brapurple, declares, "No Designers, what we got is life, blessings full like a room, God show us the way." Exploring daily motivation, it offers a perspective on life's challenges.

lyrics

I just be in my zone
Grace still breaks all protocols so you should know
Hundred times I said it do you miss me yes or no
Life’s like a battlefield no surrender no saying that you are going home
Giving up on the boy no it’s an understatement
Blessings raining on me oh yeah man I feel elated
Nyame dada no aa ɔnye me nam
Sɛ me tu me nan kor a
Ono a na odzi me kan
No designers, what we got life
Blessings no yɛ dan ma
Nana kyere me kwan
Na otan yi re yɛ a dɔɔ so
Rough days but yes you be the boss
Somedays when my mouth no fit talk o
But Nyame eeh you keep me strong o
No designers, what we got life
Blessings no yɛ dan ma
Nana kyere me kwan
Na otan yi re yɛ a dɔɔ so
Rough days but yes you be the boss o
Somedays when my mouth no fit talk o
But Nyame eeh you keep me strong o
Sometimes I be looking in my pass, and I be guessing
But I be thanking God for all these little blessings
Whether life is good, whether life is bad
Man I be grinding till I make it, I ain’t ever looking back
It gon take some time just to maintain
We wait put the pain for the same thing
I ain’t do all this for a pay day
I just thank the Lord God, for the big change
Putting on for my city
Coming out, making it litty
Thanking the Lord for all that he give me
But the devil be tryna kill me
Mmmm,
Now I praise the Lord by any means
Thank the guys up on my team
When we make it, we gon’ eat
No designers, what we got life
Blessings no yɛ dan ma
Nana kyere me kwan
Na otan yi re yɛ a dɔɔ so
Rough days but yes you be the boss
Somedays when my mouth no fit talk o
But Nyame eeh you keep me strong o
No designers, what we got life
Blessings no yɛ dan ma
Nana kyere me kwan
Na otan yi re yɛ a dɔɔ so
Rough days but yes you be the boss o
Somedays when my mouth no fit talk o
But Nyame eeh you keep me strong o

Is it rare that anyone would come across a musician with a creative force like “Brapurple”? The mention of his stage name amongst the youth evokes a storied musical that a few could weave so well over the years, with sounds so vivid that no one genre is worthy of containing. ... more
