Edwards had little commercial success as a singer and so concentrated on song-writing and producing in later years. Success followed in this field through work such as "Right Back Where We Started From" by Maxine Nightingale as well as work on a number of film scores.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drop kick, drop kick
Pop shit
Loco mosh pit
Swing fist
Pop pop pop bitch
I think that my is gone, I lost it
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I'm so chilly, might need to defrost it
I'm the honcho, the pilot in the cockpit
Put myself on the market
Tryna make profits, I'm on it
If I want it, then I got it
I'm on topic
I'm on that goth shit hot topic
Its chaotic
Got water like aquatics
I'm Feeling narcotic
Hypnotic, exotic
With the flow
On the low low key
Demonic
Hedgehog speed like sonic
Fuck around and mess with me
Imma pop shit, john wick
Haha
I do not fuck with no lil snakes bitch
No fakes no lames, no thanks, no thanks bitch
I do not fuck with no lil snakes bitch
No fakes no lames, no thanks, no thanks bitch
No thanks no thanks
Pauly stay all about the ranks like Shabba
Imma do whatever it takes
To get the money in the bank
Get it set straight no flanks
No thanks to the nonbelievers
We told you we don't mess with fakes
No snakes haha
We don't mess with blanks
I’m the one that pulls the trigger in the tank
I'm tryna run the Billup like Chauncey get the Benji's and the Franks
When was the last time you said wassup tho
Probably the last time I said wassup bro
When was the last time you ever gave a fuck
Probably the last time I ever gave a fuck
When I get it, no thanks no thanks
Cause I sip sip, drank
Stay puffin on dank
Man Imma do whatever i want, because there's nothing that I can't do
I do not fuck with no lil snakes bitch
No fakes no lames, no thanks, no thanks bitch
I do not fuck with no lil snakes bitch
No fakes no lames, no thanks, no thanks bitch
The song "Thanks" by J. Vincent Edwards is a rap track that showcases the artist's assertive and confident attitude. The first verse of the song introduces the idea of feeling unstoppable, using violent imagery in lines like "drop kick, drop kick," "swing fist," and "pop pop pop bitch." These actions indicate that the artist is willing to go to extremes to assert dominance and show his strength, portraying a macho image. However, the following lines suggest that this attitude has cost him emotionally, the line "I think that my heart is gone, I lost it" indicating a sense of numbness or disconnection from others. The artist emphasizes his independence, stating that he wears his heart on his sleeve but remains self-sufficient and immune to criticism.
The second verse emphasizes the artist's determination to succeed and create wealth, using lines such as "tryna make profits," "I'm on it," and "if I want it, then I got it." He portrays himself as someone who is always in control and pursuing his goals relentlessly. He also positions himself as a non-conformist, stating that he is into "that goth shit hot topic" and is "feeling narcotic," suggesting the use of drugs to deal with his emotions. The bridge of the song repeats the phrase "no fakes no lames, no thanks no thanks," emphasizing the artist's refusal to associate with anyone who is not genuine or capable of supporting his endeavors.
