In the song “Blessed,” by Wizkid ft Damian Marley, the artists are feeling divinely favored for what they have (kids, money, love, women, and so on)
Regardless of some imperfections, they still recognize their achievements so far and are thankful to God for all His blessings in their life.
To celebrate their achievements, they desire to take short breaks, cool off, dance to great music, and not preoccupy their mind with anything/anyone that would make them worry.
They enjoin others to value themselves, protect themselves, and take pride in their attainments by always celebrating themselves. Lastly, they spur people not to relegate themselves but dare to join the big leagues.

Bridge (Damian Marley)
Whoa-whoa-whoa
I might be rough around the edges, maybe yes
I keep it nappy and I do what make me happy
And nobody can deny me that I’m blessed
I might be rough around the edges, maybe yes
I keep it nappy and I do what make me happy
And nobody can deny me that I’m blessed
Verse 1 ((Damian Marley)
Self-preservation, self-elevation
These kind of things they deserve celebration
No hesitation, no reservation
Go for the big leagues, no relegation
Let’s celebrate life
Kick back and take five
And give thanks to the source that create life
To see a sunset or see a sunrise
And see my son born with the same eyes
To see my son smile, brighten every grey sky
He’s growing so fast, that’s why everyday I give it one hundred, non stop at 90
Praise the Almighty, the Father anoint me
