Shad - Thank You lyrics

[Hook] Thank you, I thank you [Verse 1: Shad] Yeah, after all the turmoil and test The heat broiling the sweet toil and then sweat I might hang up this b-boy and then step To a chalk board and take a seat poised at a desk Still talking to youth, still talking it through Then sat when I Black Christopher walk in a booth Dropping some truth and I picked off with this route I'm travelling many times I've gotten lost in pursuit Didn't always get it right some decisions I've questioned From behind the mic when I spit in the session I'm talking life but not giving no lessons Some show me light I just give a reflection Of the best pieces of my hometown Police in the whole crowd round the old streets we would hold down No doubt that commitment's giving me hope now Good ground so mad seeds can grow out I look up to ya'll and when I look back I'm looking forward to more pictures to look at G the rooms we never thought we could pack I knew I should try, I knew I could rap But talking honest I never thought I'd be good at Man it's a jungle out here for a hood rat Pray for a good cat see how I put that Ahh I'm ga**ed [Hook x2] [Bridge] Skip (Thank God for granting me this moment of clarity This moment of honesty) [Verse 2: Shad] Mhmm, truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common sense And make that good music like Consequence They say my rhyming is a constant mix Of blacking out on tracks then bringing consciousness Shouts to my circle my circumference For all the IOU's no consonance Yeah my whole crew they gave me confidence My few confidants, out to all my friends And now I'm proud of my van and my Vancouver apartment A proud man is a man who went through hardships Don't say you can't, you can do it regardless To the fans that helped us get started The fam I gotta [Hook] [Verse 3: Shad] Yeah And send peace to the nation of Rwanda Where my momma and my father stay and pray for all my concerts Not for props for honesty and honour in my conduct See I was always taught to act my age and not my genre And I'm just a product of the way that I was brought up With Bradley Bravada and the aw-shucks persona My T Dotters have got it hot as a sauna Watching this rock college and Crawford down at the Mod Club And T's gotta send a shout out to 'Sauga He wants to say thank you and tell Hazel to holla' It's all love from the talks to the pot lucks Grandview, Cotton, I'm awestruck I gotta [Hook x2] [Interlude]
