Gratitude's What I Have for You ft. Sydney Stewart & Ufo Funk Band Lyrics

Hey, gratitude’s what I have for you

And I know folks be saying that

To build their revenue

But I truly care for you, mayne

‘Cause even though

I ain’t raised up from the hood

Still found your music could

Touch my soul and change it for good

To think of all the times we’ve locked eyes

Just a few feet from the stage

Single moments of time

Absorbing knowledge of your ways

By now those moments left your mind

But those same moments

Are ingrained in mine

Teaching me how to write rhymes

And save lives; It’s no lie

I’m your disciple

Now my life, is dedicated to the race

Yeah, call me a student of grace

Serving the rightful heir to the throne

In a darkened place, He leads the way

A worker’s worth his wages

So I wrote you these pages

To let you know, beyond question

I’m gracious

Dre, for you I’m gracious

And all your creative labor, uncensored

And for that, I thank you

Let my life display

For the world to see

The presence of Your work

And how you gifted me

I'm grateful, I'm thankful

Let my life give light

So the world believes

How Your love

Helped me to believe

In Your greatness

'Cause Your gracious

Honestly, I’m surprised

Your music touched me so much

‘Cause honestly, we both hail

From different sides of the muck

That is this life, some’d say I had luck

‘Cause my whole life

Has been one bleakly

Blind to the blood

Both parents, none died, none cried

Knew the light at age 5

Yet I died inside

Divided from the right

Guess in that way, we're the same

Everyone, our sins the same

And your gift can reach ‘em all

Even the suburb’s perfect child

Me; see I'm just a wee kid

Tryna make music

But lacking in rubric

'Til I listened to you spit

Here I am at the pulpit

Thinking of you, man!

‘Cause your stories still move me

‘Cause your art is amazing

Thank you for poetry

That's engaging

So good

I’m just tryna replicate it

Let my life display

For the world to see

The presence of Your work

And how you gifted me

I'm grateful, I'm thankful

Let my life give light

So the world believes

How Your love

Helped me to believe

In Your greatness

'Cause Your gracious

O-o-o-o-oh!

We want to thank you, Lord!

We're grateful, we're thankful

We're thankful, Lord

We wanna thank you, God

We wanna thank you, God

Almighty, and wonderful

Oh, Lord!

We praise you, Lord

We thank you, Lord

For everything

Oh, God!

I wanna thank you

I wanna thank you

I wanna thank you!
