KING Karlemagne - Appreciated lyrics

[Intro] (We) tend to always get roses on our grave sites Never while we can smell them So if someone you appreciate is here right now You might as well just go and tell them [Verse 1: KING Karlemagne] At sixteen I almost got expelled from school For acting like a god damn fool The principal said she thought I had lost my mind I just thought she was being cruel My grades were slipping, and I kept on falling behind Basically in like every cla** They'd call my mom in to tell her every time In hopes that it might scare my a** [Bridge: Karl & Matt] Sitting in that office, you looked on, o so embarra**ed Wishing that you weren't my parent Your friends may gossip, but tell them they don't know us When were they ever there for us You always had me, whenever my father hurt you Who always stood up for you When you weren't happy, and wouldn't put on that smile Tell me, who brought it back in style [Hook: Matt Sallee] I'm trying to sorry You deserved better Just know I'm sorry Now more than ever And I appreciate every sacrifice Sacrifices you made for me Thank you very much for the great advice The advice that you gave to me [Verse 2: KING Karlemagne] Remember how I came home one night Escorted by the police You looked really hurt and I knew that it wasn't right But never stopped to take notice All I knew then, was how I was o so broke Didn't want to bring you no l stress But I did just that coming home to you hand cuffed Wasn't part of the plan but [Bridge: Karl & Matt] Sitting in that squad car, I could see you were embarra**ed Wishing that you weren't my parent Your friends may gossip, but tell them they don't know us When were they ever there for us You always had me, whenever my father hurt you Who always stood up for you When you weren't happy, and wouldn't put on that smile Tell me, who brought it back in style [Hook: Matt Sallee] I'm trying to sorry You deserved better Just know I'm sorry Now more than ever And I appreciate every sacrifice Sacrifices you made for me Thank you very much for the great advice The advice that you gave to me [Verse 3: KING Karlemagne] Dear mama, hope you like how I turned out I'm man, no thanks Dad, but I learned how Had he taught me, then i'd probably arrogant Too stuck in my own way to see you should be cherished, and Treated like a queen, as I go over this beat I hope you take these words as roses to your feet Never made the honor roll, it was obviously a let down Tried to make up for it with how good i could sketch now I know a cap and gown were your plans for me, but I only brought home degrees when I ran a fever Wish I was more like Ivan, and the kids who graduated Too much of a dreamer,and I know that's what you hated I spent some years stressed and depressed about VA But you loved my dad too much to question what he'd say In time I understood it you couldn't make it to my games Sure it took a while but I made it pa** the pain Got me that PS2 tho, you didn't have to do it Never quite told you what the hell had happened to it Opened that store at twenty one just make you proud of me It really tore me up to see how much you doubted me I guess that in a way I just needed your approval One of the few things you can't seek and find on google Wished you'd support me more, yeah you know I had to say it Still doesn't change the fact that you are appreciated (I love you Ma)
