Jerazik - Thanks To You
------------------------------
[Chorus]
When I was down you would pick me up.
Make me smile, and keep me goin'.
You told me, there was "Never giving up."
Gave me the mic, to keep on holdin'.
And here I am, all thanks to you.
For your support, and a helpin' hand.
You encouraged everything I'd do.
Thanks to you, my biggest fan.
[Verse One]
Ever since day one when I started to rap /
I felt the inhibition that was holdin' me back /
But then you told me, keep spittin', I'm doin' just that /
And ever since then I been coughin' up tracks /
And for awhile I kept goin' even if I got haters /
But, sooner or later, I just kind of lost flow /
Where was I to go with this broken microphone /
I don't know but then you told me just keep goin' with it yo /
So I wrote, lyric after lyric till I slept /
Writin' up rhymes till there's no more pencil lead /
And I wrote till there was no more lines for me to write on /
Spittin' lyrics on my bed with the light on /
Every night I would practice just rhymin' /
Every line until I got the right timin' /
Even now it's a step I take /
The only big difference is that I'm on stage /
[Chorus]
When I was down you would pick me up.
Make me smile, and keep me goin'.
You told me, there was "Never giving up."
Gave me the mic, to keep on holdin'.
And here I am, all thanks to you.
For your support, and a helpin' hand.
You encouraged everything I'd do.
Thanks to you, my biggest fan.
[Verse Two]
In this Hip-Hop life of mine that I'm livin' /
I'll keep on spittin' rhymes till the record stops spinnin' /
I'd rather be, fully blind than deaf /
Me without music is me without breath /
Every single day I'd face a different kind of challenge /
But this one fly chick, believed in my talent /
Reassured me of everything I had /
And I was glad to know that she my biggest fan /
Cuz, even if the world turned on me /
She'd make me smile, concerned for me /
And that's love, I know the rest of y'all feel the same /
Showin' YOUR love when I hear you say my name /
And I, appreciate it, cuz you keep me alive /
Me and this mic, intertwine in the light /
In the presence of an audience, or maybe a crowd /
A family gathering, or friends sittin' down /
I know y'all can feel it like the waves of an ocean /
Every word, supported by emotion /
I'm inspired, to get up and get higher /
It's all thanks to y'all that I got through the wire /
This ain't just music, not by far /
This is my version of a "Thank You" card /
So, just listen as you properly jam /
I wanna thank y'all for makin' me who I am /
[Chorus]
When I was down you would pick me up.
Make me smile, and keep me goin'.
You told me, there was "Never giving up."
Gave me the mic, to keep on holdin'.
And here I am, all thanks to you.
For your support, and a helpin' hand.
You encouraged everything I'd do.
Thanks to you, my biggest fan.
[Chorus]
When I was down you would pick me up.
Make me smile, and keep me goin'.
You told me, there was "Never giving up."
Gave me the mic, to keep on holdin'.
And here I am, all thanks to you.
For your support, and a helpin' hand.
You encouraged everything I'd do.
Thanks to you, my biggest fan.
