If you ever bought a tape,
Purchased a CD,
Or a peice of vinyl,
DJ`ed my record,
Promoted my recored,
I wanna thank yall man from the bottom of my heart
Secondly, I wanna dedicate this song to y`all man
Cuz without y`all there is no me
Verse 1
I can never turn my back on y`all
Cause y`all put me where I`m at
So when you call I`ll be there
Just like that
Signing autographs giving daps to all my folks
Telling little kids don`t follow these dopes
See I`m ma keep barkin`
Long as y`all bark with me
You know the website
All you gotta do is hit me
Now as much as the girls like me
You would think it make the fellas sick
But they be right with`em
Singing not missing a lick
Hair braided rockin` somebody`s jersey
From up top to out west
And down in the dirty
Can`t forget about the Midwest
That`s where I was found
That`s where I live
And Columbus is the town
I got the pen
You got the paper
A cd, a tape, I`ll sign it the leave it
And get a nice big plate of fish
Which is my favorite dish
But without y`all
I couldn`t kick it like this
I wanna..
I wanna thank you
For making me who I am
And putting me where I need to be
I wanna thank you
For the opportunity to do my thing in this industry
I wanna thank you
For callin` to your local station
Day after day to play my song
If it wasn`t for you
There would be no me
That`s why I wanna ride for you
Forever more
Ohhhh, forever more, oh ohh
Verse 2
I wanna thank you for the groups that came before me
All of yall in the office that promote me on the streets
All the mom and pop stars that dont get alot of credit
The spot`s in the hood, the first one to set it
All the mixed show DJ`s, please keep it pumpin
Thank you for your support and yes I`m gonna keep it comin
I love how u love that, so I`m givin` back
Cuz yall the ones that kept this playa on track
The reason I`m seen is because of you
The reasons I`m heard and my dreams came true
Now if u ever made a poster, or wrote a fan letter
All I`m tryna do is show you so L-O-V-E
And let you kno without yall, there is no me
JD, JE the whole S.S.D.
Now if you ride for we, then I`mma ride for you
From the bottom of my heart baby tell him what I wanna do
I wanna thank you
For making me who I am
And putting me where I need to be
I wanna thank you
For the opportunity to do my thing in this industry
I wanna thank you
For callin` to your local station
Day after day to play my song
If it wasn`t for you
There would be no me
That`s why I wanna ride for you
Forever more
Ohhhh, forever more, oh ohh
