Gratitude
Mc Syze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Do, Do I, Do Gratitude
That's how I do
Do I really gotta' thank em'
Thank who?
The peeps that I never uttered
A tone of thanks to
But that's what I plan to
I never had the chance to
Never forget always
Mind your P's
And your damn Q's
Mind you this playboy
Never forgets to give
Creds where the creds due
To my parents
And my teachers
And my friends too
Not forgetting fallen soldiers
And the Brick crew
Ok now, it starts with the fam
From mom, dad, aunts
And the whole jingbang
Though I often disobeyed
Never laid out their plans
Sometimes I bit back
When they reached out their hands
Always had a second chance
Coming home late
Reeking of cigarette smoke
Caught a whoopin' from my folks
Still hung with the rogues
Thanks to church every week
Learnt to hold a note
So this song is like a
Thank you note that I wrote, brraa
Thankful when I'm all alone
I don't give myself up like a throne
Thankful for your endless love
Gratitude with all my love
Alright so
I tip my hat
To every one of you fellas
Not forgetting street hustlers
To the thugs
And the mafuckin' killers
The beatmaker Fauxe
Up in this mother fucka'
Getting stronger every day
Thanks to all'a you haters
The P man, R.I.P see you later
The dope man Damian
Thanks for the favor
T-Bone and Goldfish
Scratchin' on the decks
Kelvin Materealize picture perfect
Thanks to Tony for showing me
How to break a jaw
To the pitbull for breaking
Each one of those jaws
To the businessmen
Servin' time in the pen
Sendin' kites to maintain
All their dollars and cents
Capo di tutti capi
A.k.a Joe and Maliquetionary
Instead of joinin' a camp
They made their own tents
And lastly but not least
When push came to shove
I'd like to thank the almighty
Blessin' me from up above
Thank You
Thankful when I'm all alone
I don't give myself up like a throne
Thankful for your endless love
Gratitude with all my love
