If you ever bought a tape
Purchased a C.D. or a piece of vinyl
Dj`d my record
Promoted my record
I wanna thank ya`ll man from the bottom of my heart
Secondly I wanna dedicate this song to ya`ll man
Cause without Ya`ll there is no me
(Verse 1)
I could never turn my back on ya`ll
Cause ya`ll put me where I`m at
So when you call
I`ll be there
Just like that
Signing autograps giving daps to all my folks
Telling lil` kids don`t follow these dopes
See I`ma keep barking as long as ya`ll bark with me
You know the website all you got to do is hit me
As much as the girls like me
You`ll think it makes the fella`s sick
But they be right with`em, singing not missin a lick
Hair braided rocking somebodies jersey
From up top to out and down in the dirty
Can`t forget about the midwest
That`s were I was found
That`s were I live and Columbus is the town
I got the pen
You got the paper
A C.D. a tape
I sign it then leave
And get a nice big plate of fish
Which is my favorite dish
But without ya`ll I couldn`t kick it like this
(Chorus)
I wanna Thank you
For making me who I am and puttin me where I need to be
I wanna Thank you
For the oppurtunity to do my thang in this industry
I wanna Thank you
For callin to your local stations day after day to play my song
If it was`nt for you there would`nt be no me
And thats why I wanna ride for you
Forever more..... I just wanna thank you!!
(verse 2)
I wanna thank you for the groups that came before me
All of ya`ll in the office that promote me on the streets
All the mom and pop stores
That don`t get a lot of credit
The spots in the hood
The first one`s that said it
All the mix show dj`s please keep it comin
Thank you for your support and yes I`m gonna keep it comin
I love how you love that
So I`m given back
Cause ya`ll the ones that keep this playa on track
The reason I`m seen is because of you
The reason I`m heard and my dreams came true
Know if you ever made a poster or wrote a fan letter
All I`m tyna do is show you some L-O-V-E
And that you know without ya`ll there is no me
JD, JE, the whole SSD
Know if you ride for we
Then I`ma ride for you
From the bottom of my heart, baby tell`em what I wanna do
Repeat chorus
