  • "I've got something to live for, I've got surplus to give more, and we're all welcome through his door, so I count my blessings." -Damian Marley

  • @tayjuan100 Amen to that.

    don't you just love this song!?!?

    I have to say, God blesses me!

  • remember your blessings every day before falling asleep, give thanks and always do your best

  • Got this on repeat

  • Wow Nas and Damian Marley is a great collaboration this song knocks!!!!

  • OMFGG THIS SONG IS SO FUKING DOPE!!!! I got my skin like chickens all 4:30 seconds! FUCK THIS IS A GOOD JOINT! :)

  • Love Family

  • hell yeah!

    <3in this song,

    1st.., well 4th time listening to it now:D..

    OK! :)

    here is the equation

    {this song + a couple nice personal bedtime bowls x a pack of stogies((camel crush bold))((8-D))}=??????

    ......A chill fuckin time relaxing with my puppy, smokin zie herb, and a 2in1 stog, listening to great music

    post response if you've got one you'd like to share who understands this stoner humor of mine. no responses is chill too. i understand if you don't want to be cool. jk X-D

    -peace.

  • @berzerkknot peace baby thats right

    

  • Did anyone notice the commercial before the video is 2:46 long?

  • This song makes me think how good i got it!count your blessings.

  • They're both so creative, it's amazing. This is easily one of the greatest albums of all time. No other duos can compare to how well these two fit together, even though they have backgrounds in such different music. It's a beautiful combination of arts. Bob would be proud.

  • @TheETownSkater I was thinking the same thing, they come from ridiculously different backgrounds and communities yet they have such an amazing chemistry. They seem so connected if you get what I mean? Hmm, they're probably distant relatives ;-)

  • NAS WENT OFF ON THIS

  • RESPECT FROM SOMALIA. PEOPLE COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.

  • @waranish One Love, One Africa, One Way, Respect to you and Hold on to your Spirit as you count the Blessings coming your way. Love from us stolen and brought to this land against our wills.United Snakes of AmeriKKKa. We may not have been born in Africa, but we have Africa born in us. Keep Counting!!!!

  • @Thutmose0 Thanks brother

  • Yes I believe that Selassie is a type of Rep for Jesus/Yeshua (and for the black people at that time and always) ...and I believe that Yeshua may have been black. No one knows for sure but many things make me think that he was. But I know it doesn't really matter...what color he was...BUT...if it is known and kept secret...then I have a problem with that.

    PEACE

  • @xSweet1o1x Respect to you, But with more research you'll see if you would remove the triaditions of getting all your information from the One Book, that jesus/yeshua wasn't black or white bcuz he never historically existed. If you can give me evidence pls to do so. If you can't get back at me I'll give you some that he didn't. Waiting for your reply. One Love!!!

  • @Thutmose0 Naaaaa....you're wrong. I get my info from many dif sources not just One Book. You yourself really should do more research and open your mind. Yeshua will be returning one day soon and he plainly says if you do not recognize him in publicc in front of your friends that he will not recognize you and plead for you in front of his Father Jah ~ GOD...when you die. Nuff Love ~ Jah Bless!!

  • @xSweet1o1x Now now my good sista, tell me when you went to check the information I shared? You went right into cognitive dissonance, look it up! Pls share where I should do more research from, other than the one book. Yeshua won't be coming back for me maybe for you. This belief is for you and your people, not for Afrikans or people of color. Afrikans are Spiritual people and don't need anything between us and the Almighty God/Goddess with more emphasis toward Mother Nature and not make believe

    PEACE

  • Just in time for Thanksgiving...

  • Comment removed

  • Is jesus the god of the slavemaster? I only ask bcuz through my research OUR Ancient Afrikan Ancestors didn't know him until we were given the Bible from the slavemaster. So jesus is for the slavemaster not for our good. We don't know our God due to whitewashing, now we only can be-lie-ve in fiction, and not know what was meant for us....Spirituality, Nature, reality. One Love much respect to all our Ancestors who KNOW GOD!!!

  • @Thutmose0 Rastafari is a celebration of Christian beliefs with the movement for FREEDOM and EQUALITY and JUSTICE!!. JAH is the name for GOD. Haile Selassie was a Christian and worshipped GOD/JESUS CHRIST! morefire.wordpress. c o m/2007/08/29/what-did-haile-se­lassie-say-about-jesus-christ/

  • @xSweet1o1x Respect to you xsweet1o1x, I overstand the movement but don't overstand the christian part and how it connects to Afrikans in totality. We didn't have christ before the enslavement of Afrikans by foreigners. Afrikans were a Spiritual people. Freedom, Justice, Equality for us where is that world? surely not in this one, ask troy davis, the black boys molested at penn state. God comes in many names, buddha, allah, krishna, but how can you give a name to that which you have never seen?

  • @Thutmose0 Good point. Maybe Christ came back as Haile Selassie to free the African people since it was not done before though. Who knows.

  • @Seanz1lla Well that would also be a good point if Christ historically existed!!!! Since he didn't Haile Selassie had to put himself as such since he did historically exist. You see you can exist in literature but not historically such as humpty dumpty, santa clause etc. If you do the research you can KNOW!!!

  • @Thutmose0 True, I don't know if Christ existed or not but I see your point.

  • @Seanz1lla Good to hear open-mined energy, Much positivity going your way Seanz1lla.

  • @Thutmose0 Thanks, man. Same towards you.

  • i wish damian were alone in this track..

  • i believe in GOD no matter shape or form!

  • @fmazeus Fuck religion , the worst thing that happen to to world, but spirituality is another subject (:

  • @FrangoConNatas is it though? Or is it just a component of religion that non-believers or those with other plans on their mind, extract in order to justify their own designs? Man has always ascribed myth to the heavens to explain the unexplainable, and that is the essence of where the "spiritual" came from. Anyway, if you got love and logic i dont give a fuck if you praise whatever it is you praise, so long as you use your common sense and not a low standard fantasy novel for guidance.

  • @onelasthingtodo dude i'm jewish, not a non believer, but i still think that religion has created so many problems in the world 

  • I've joy in abundance

    I've got life full of substance

    I've got meetings and functions

    So I count my blessings

    I've got something to live for

    I've got surplus to give more

    And we're all welcome through His door

    So I count my blessings - Damien Marley

  • @kozmikdust What's it to you about a persons personal problems. It's not of your concern. And correct you are saying Damian doesn't need Nas on his tracks but they both chose to make a collab together so therefore leave your mindless comments out of this comment section unless you actually have something good to say about both artist.

  • Comment removed

  • i jus wanna give him a hug!!!

  • MUSIC at its best....

  • RESPECT to Nas and Damian ..!

  • The 4 who dont like this dont count there blessings...

  • Comment removed

  • @kozmikdust i fully agree with this. he just adds something but with or without him the track would still have been sick

  • Comment removed

  • @kozmikdust R u serious????? Damian did nothing 4 Nas and Nas did nothing 4 Damian they were both made b4 they collab. To say damian helped him is jus ignorant its a mutual collab

  • @kozmikdust your an idiot, nas was considered a rap legened a decades before this album

  • @kozmikdust he didnt need help there mates, damian owns this tracks but theres others on the album that just wouldnt be the same without nas

  • Comment removed

  • 4 people do not have blessings to count

  • love it.

  • I think Nas and Will smith are the only rappers that don't cuss 15 times every verse in their songs. <3

  • @Dwalimz Funny you put them two together cause Nas use to ghostwrite for Will Lol

  • @Dwalimz That's cuz Will raps about junior mints and skittles

    

  • this song really helped me in my life

  • unreal unreal unreaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllll <3

    

  • This song has me hitting replay ^_^

  • Lovely song <3

  • i love this song. big up damien marley!

  • GOD/ALLAH/JAH BLESS <3

  • @SaxiLilLady forgot buddha

  • @hotdogexp :)

  • @SaxiLilLady Yeah I agree to those as well but I usually say WAHEGURU!

  • @SaxiLilLady Allah is Aramaic for God, its what Jesus spoke :p

    

  • @frazmeup you a damn lie.. Jesus (yahshua) spoke Hebrew.. he was JEWISH.. the bible tells you what God's REAL name is... YHWH bless

  • @PacmanBonez no thats not true! jesus spoke aramaic (with quite high probability)! hebrew wasn't that popular at this time and most people spoke aramaic! but language doesn't matter, love and peace do! bless bless

  • @frazmeup God is Allah, Allah is god. Very simple, dont push too much. ;)

  • @XmrfreedX They're not quite the same. God is what Christians believe to be the trinity of the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, while Muslims believe that Jesus is not a part of God. So they're similar, but very different.

  • @911Nolan Yup. i agree with you. They're similar, but the concept is different.

  • @911Nolan but not all christians believe in the trinity do muslims believe in jesus

  • @360blunt True, and yeah, as far as I know, Muslims do believe Jesus was real, just not that he was the son of God.

  • @911Nolan For sure, Muslims believe in Jesus.

  • @teahouse100 They don't believe in Jesus! Why ? simply when they don't believe he was crucified then THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN HIM.

  • @sabasababa87 Yes they do.

  • @xSweet1o1x No dude they don't ! Read the Quran !and u will know that they don't ! cheers !

  • @911Nolan I'm Muslim and we believe that Jesus was real but that he wasn't the Son of God and he wasn't Crucified but he was taken up by Allah

  • @360blunt

    Lol yeah they do, if not they're either Jew or Muslim...

  • zakochałam się <3

  • i got life full of substance:]

  • This should have been universal the summer song '10

  • @listbook

    maybe this summer!

  • and give thanks to the master, that through all the disaster, were still together after, so i count my blessings- the level of forgiveness for past atrocities is so inspiring.

  • man, i almost died the last week of 2010, so in this NEW YEAR 2011 i count my blessings and give thanks to the MASTER.. JAH BLESS!!!

  • @albedo717 .......Me Too...Someone Saved Me

  • respect yourself!!

  • this song is CHILLLLLLLLLLL

  • Great tune from 'Distant Relatives' by Nas & Damian Marley :)

  • love this album very good collaboration

  • I love the message of this song, everybody needs to just be thankful for what they have, instead of being onthankful for what they don't have!

  • @raplover14 exactly

  • so uplifting man put you in a great mood ..the concert in trini was good i attended at what beautiful vibe ..what a beautiful vibe

  • so uplifting man put you in a great mood

  • My new Thanksgiving song.

  • All you guys arguing are missing the biggest point damian and nas make, which is that we should all come together (distant relatives).....nas and damian are both great artists and all I have to say is that they are the shit together....I love the cd and I've been to 3 of their shows and the vibe kicks ass

  • love it <3

  • Beautiful music. Sooth sounding. Quality tune

  • "And give thanks to the Master, that through all the disaster/

    We’re still held together after, so I count my blessings.

    I’ve got love and assurance, I’ve got new health insurance/

    I’ve got strength and endurance, so I count my blessings."

    Be greatful y'all

  • nas became the worst rapper of all times he just fucks every track on that album

    damian should go solo

  • @jurijnesterov are yu dumb

  • @jurijnesterov

    Damian wouldnt have had the vibe to make a tune like this if Nas weren't in the room.....its called chemistry, and they have that

  • @1L4MK Obviously you dont listen to Damian's albums. Songs like these are very common for him. All respect to Nas, Nas is in my top 5 greatest rappers to touch the mic but Damian writes songs like these on everyone of his albums. Listen to "There for You", "paradise Child" , "It was written", "Pimpas Paradise"

  • @javonpryce

    i know all those songs....please dont be one of those fans that try to compete against other fans on how much he knows about the artist, thats really lame

  • @1L4MK maybe next time you'll actually verify what you are saying before you attempt to discredit an artist's abilities

  • @javonpryce

    im not discrediting Damian, I was standing up for Nas cuz some dude said that this song wouldve been better without him......and I don't need to verify shit, I said what I meant pretty clearly and you need to just take that big stick out of your ass and just enjoy the music.....oh and get off Damian's dick too

  • @1L4MK Whats with you and all this talk about ass and dicks? You sound like a fag. Keep those arguments to yourself... and yes, you were attempting to discredit Damian. Just dont come to me with all that gay shit again.

  • @javonpryce

    im only gonna repeat myself once....dont be a dickryder

  • 1 lame mother fucker!

  • i think someone just found his new favorite song

  • nas and damian marley on the same record. best combo ever?

  • put that shit straight in favorites !

  • amazing song absolutely love it makes me feel so good even if im down

  • wow nice song hes teelings all his blessings in the song

  • @bobmarleytv100 no hes not. he doesnt say all of them. he has alot more 

  • The BOMBE Shizzle!!

  • my cousin Luke Aiono is the guitar on here!

  • @562CityLife God bless him for this awesome work!
