Thank You

(álbum: Roadtrip To Venus - 2021)

Ah, Pa-Papa, I remember all the groundings
Putting me through music school and showing off my first name
All boxed in, late-night studio sessions in the '90s
Covers of Dennis Brown or Robert Nesta Marley
Oh, Mama, I remember all the good jobs
Looking for bargains just to fill the wardrobe
You disciplined hard as if you knew Tae Bo
I was more afraid of you than the po-po
You'd both take extra jobs when money was low
You were always home for the cards or Nintendo
You never ever let us down when we needed you
There's a million more things I could say to you

Let me start with "Thank you"
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
Many more things we can do, ooh
Let me start by saying "Thank you", you
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
Many more things we can do, ooh
Let me start by saying "Thank you"

See, my brother was a sensei
When I was looking for my spine he helped me find it
Don't hold your mouth when they try play you for your brown skin
Hold your mouth on road unless you know you 'bout it
Sister got the world in her stories
Feels like college with all the things that she showed me
See the life through the eyes of a lady
Keep me wise when I try speech a lady
Both, they helped me out when money was low
Taught me how to play the cards and Nintendo
Never ever let me down when I needed you
There's a million more things I could say to you

Let me start with "Thank you"
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
Many more things we can do, ooh
Let me start by saying "Thank you", you
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
Many more things we can do, ooh
Let me start by saying "Thank you"

Yeah yeah yeah
Let that shit ride out
For the underrated
And the under-appreciated
Or the ones who feel like that anyway
Yeah
Two-step
Ah-ha
Two-step
Ah-ha-ah
(Yeah yeah)
(Yeah yeah)
