Many Thanks Video (MV)

Ay, if you ain't in the mood for gratitude
Then cut this motherf*cker off, yeah
I gotta a lot, uh, of thank-you's in orders
Or whatever

Yeah, first and foremost I gotta start with the kids
Wouldn't make it far as I did without Zari and Riz
My favorite girls, y'all take away the weight of the world
When the shit too heavy to lift and I ain't able to curl
And mama, you the GOAT, you kept my head on straight
Kept food on plates, even when you ain't ate
And you still gon' call or text when I be out late
A superhero in my eyes, get this lady a cape
And Darryl, we been through shit but much love and respect
Raisin' somebody else's kids, it can be tough to connect
But you showed me how to throw hands and taught me sports
Even though I never applied it on a field or a court
Gave advice, a lot of niggas never got that support
Ended up dead or in prison, once they hopped of the porch
Uncle Tim you treated me like your kid, gave me my street smarts
Aunt Esthe, Aunt NaeNae and Kim, y'all some sweethearts
Ant, nigga, you know what it is, let's keep this thing strong
Mama Hicks I stayed at yo' crib like I was one of yo' own
Jim the big brother I never had
Yo' mama like my mama and yo' pops like my second dad
Your daughters like my daughters and I know you would say the same
You ever need something then I got you, it ain't a thing
Kerrick my brudda for real, we been through the struggle for real
Huddled and hustled for meals, writin' to brush up on skills
Met you through Smoove, that shit is tragic he no longer here
Called you as soon I heard the news, we shed thug tears
Yam you my closest cousin, we waitin' on you to get home
Just know that I got you and you ain't gotta go through it alone
Growin' up who would have known?
We'd fall to the system taking for granted
All of the wisdom we was handed and somehow I managed
To beat the odds, although the cards ain't play out how we planned it
But blood is blood forever, we could never be disbanded
Forgive me if you feel that the fame got to my head
'Cause I didn't pick up your call or I left your message on read
Sometimes I wake and spend a few hours layin' in bed
No phone, music or tv, I'd rather silence instead
Replaying the good times in my mind, I'd trade it all if I could rewind
But that ain't how life is designed
Shout out the local blogs that shed light on my rhymes
And young niggas on the same grind fightin' to shine
Yeah, me and Tu legit brothers, beyond this music shit
You kept the fuses lit when I felt as if I was losin' it
Shout out Jacob Moore for postin' my shit on P&P
Jump started my career, I gotta keep it G
And my nigga Tigg 'cause I know bein my manager ain't a easy feat
I love you 'cause you believe in me more then I believe in me
Justin, Sydney, LeLe and Bre, can't forget 'bout D and Ke
All of the producers that let me rap on they beats for free
J good with straight out the den, you let me rip them stages
Ty we still got money to get, was just on different pages
Amir put me on Sylvan tour, I appreciate it
Jid took me to Europe, I'm honored to be affiliated
The day Em spit me my lyrics, I knew I really made it
To have him and Royce on my album, that shit feel amazing
'Cause they giants in my eyes, residing where I aim to be
Remember buyin' they CD and now they give me game for free
A major key 'cause once upon a time they was the same as me
Pray I'm half as successful as them, just gotta wait and see
Paul Mike and all of the Shady fam, the crazy fans
Y'all saw something in me even when nobody gave a damn
Pulse gave a nigga a bag before I had a buzz
Gotta give Lauren and Ash some love
Shout out to the ones who went and bumped Porch after Snub
Pulled up to my shows and wait around for the daps and hugs
Purchase merch and know my whole discography verse for verse
And play me every day from the first to the thirty-first
Even those who found out about me through Dirty Work
And tell me I'm a star on the track, that's word to Kirk
To know my music helped 'em out through some of they darkest times
I hold it dearer than they'll ever know in this heart of mine
So know you appreciated for wiping my tears when they fall
Lending yo' ears when I call, I'm only here 'cause of y'all
