Uhh, uhh

Yeah, uh-huh (So So Def), uhh
{*Jagged Edge harmonizing*}
If you ever bought a tape (yeah)
Purchased a CD (uh-huh)
Or a piece of vinyl (c`mon)
DJ`d my record (Rock, rock on)
Promoted my record (tell `em)
I wanna thank y`all man from the bottom of my heart (that`s right)
Secondly, I wanna dedicate this song to y`all man
cause without y`all, there is no me (c`mon)
[Lil` Bow Wow]
I could never turn my back on y`all (uhh)
Cause y`all put me where I`m at so when ya call
I`ll be there, just like that (just like that)
Signin autographs, givin deps to all my folks
Tellin little kids, don`t follow these dopes
See, I`ma keep barkin` long as y`all bark wit` me (WOOF!)
Y`all know the website, all y`all gotta do is hit me
As much as the girls like me, you would think it make the fellas sick
(yeah) but they be right wit `em singin, not missin a lick
Hair braided, rockin somebody`s jersey
From Up-top to Out-West and down in the Dirty
Can`t forget about the Mid-West, that`s where I was found (what?)
That`s where I live and Columbus is the town (yeah)
I got the pen, you got the paper, a CD, a tape, I
sign it then leave it to get a nice big plate of
fish, which is my favorite dish
But without y`all, I couldn`t kick it like this
I wanna..
[Chorus: Jagged Edge & Fundisha]

[J] For makin me who I am and puttin me where I need to be
I wanna thank you

[F] Forever more, forever more
[J] I just wanna thank you
[Lil` Bow Wow]
I wanna thank you for the groups that came befo` me (uhh)
All of y`all in the office that promote me in the streets
All the mom and pop stores that don`t get a lot of credit
(yeah) The spots in the hood, the first ones that said it
(said it) All the mix show`s DJs, please keep it bumpin
Thank you for your support and yes I`m gonna keep it comin
(yeah) I love how you love that, so I`m givin back
cause y`all the ones that kept this playa on track
The reason I`m seen is because of you
The reason I`m heard and my dreams came true
Now if you ever made a poster, or wrote a fan letter
All I`m tryin do is show you is some L-O-V-E
And let you know without y`all there is no me
J.D., J.E., the whole S.S.D. (haha)
Now if you ride for we, then I`m gon` ride for you
From the bottom of my heart, baby tell `em what I wanna do
[Chorus: Jagged Edge & Fundisha]
[F] I wanna thank you
For makin me who I am and puttin me where I need to be
I wanna thank you
[J] For the opportunity to do my thing in this industry
[F] I wanna thank you
For callin to your local station everyday to play my song
