Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they was surely mistaken
We got all we need and it's basic
I'm just giving my gratitude
All them bags they was chasing
Got them feeling complacent
I'm adjacent i take it and embrace it
Giving my gratitude
I'm just giving my gratitude to you
I'm giving gratitude
Moved from longitude
To the Latitude
A lot of dudes
Got a lot to do
And A lot to choose
A lot of affrimation
Lotta of boos
So they drown they sorrows in some booze
Yeah them boys sleep yeah they snooze
They all look the same who is who (tell me who is who )
I'm probably a product of poverty
Molding the game like it's pottery
Honestly we changing polices
Properly bringing equality
Ain't gonna lie man it bothers me
He gave me love and it's fatherly
I know my mamma and daddy they
Proud of me
Now they gone change the diconomy
They said we won't make it
But they was surely mistaken
We got all we need and it's basic
I'm just giving my gratitude

All them bags they was chasing
Got them feeling complacent
I'm adjacent i take it and embrace it
Giving my gratitude
I'm just giving my gratitude to you
