Dame D.O.L.L.A., Danny from Sobrante, Brookfield Deuce, Marsha Ambrosius - Thank You lyrics

Remember back when I was five
I seen my grandmother's pride
Care taking for friends and
Watched a couple die
Grew attached to how you love
And what you had inside
Never held your tongue
Wasn't lettin' nothing slide
Learned early that you gotta give
Credit where it's due
Who better to start with
I gotta start with you
All them days when you was sick
And hustling us all to school
Character and confidence
You gave us all the tools
Got a whooping if we need it
But thinking how we was treated
You saw something in us way
Before we could've seen it
All them long ties with the
Cousins out the phoenix
Everybody got in trouble when they
Laughed at me for being
Boy, I couldn't do wrong
That's how you made me feel
When I ain't made grades
You saved me from getting killed
Remember bringing you the bags where
You carried all your pills
My parents separated you was
Loving me for real thank you Granny

Say your prayers, be for real
You know I am so proud of you
Keep your head up you know I'm watching over
You in the sunshine
You know I'm watching over
You in the sunshine
I want you to be a man, stay true
Don't let nobody get over you, be for real
You know I'm watching over
You in the sunshine
I'm watching over you in the sunshine

What the Ds and Fs stand for? Doing fine?
What yo little ass know about grind?
You make money at night but with
The son you gon' really shine
You gon' get rich just rich for time
You start selling with the mess
You coming down mixed up
Interrogations, that's when your friends
Gon' switch up
If you Kobe, why deal with the ground beef?
That's a problem on the
Street, just ask dudes, everybody
You ain't make that team, but can't hate it
We all learn from that
Then little Damian made it
Hugh is still scrambling
John is still stacking
Chris fixing the whips and
Kenny making it happen
The boat going down with the captain
Lead by example they really
Watching your actions
Conversations with my grandmother
Them talks saved me man, I hella love her

Say your prayers, be for real
You know I miss a part of you
Keep your head up you know I'm watching over
You in the sunshine
You know I'm watching over
You in the sunshine
I want you to be a man, stay true
Don't let nobody get over you, be for real
You know I'm watching over
You in the sunshine
I'm watching over you in the sunshine

To the villains that raised
Me little knucklehead
I ain't got nowhere to go
That was enough said
It was chili, spaghetti, gumbo
And spare ribs everybody got their plate but
That ain't chip in
When it was Christmas, a man put my name in
A hat, made me feel a part of something
I was thankful for that
When it was late you tell me
I knew where the blankets was at
It mean that you got right to the back
I be like, "Granny, it's me"
When I came in hella lit and
Nobody never understood what grandaddy said
But, you always felt the love
And just nod your head
Believe the greasy, you always said
You cosign with that
And when the heater broke
He left the stove on that mat
You always kept it 100 I was on my hype
You left the door unlocked and
It saved me life

Say your prayers, be for real
You know I miss a part of you
Keep your head up you know I'm watching over
You in the sunshine
You know I'm watching over
You in the sunshine
I want you to be a man, stay true
Don't let nobody get over you, be for real
You know I'm watching over
You in the sunshine
I'm watching over you in the sunshine

You original Clarence Street
Nobody can compare used to make us drop down
And say the Lords prayer
Became the routine we did it
When you wasn't there i quit football
You told me "Show 'em you ain't scared"
Gave me that inner faith
Gave me nothin' to fear
Then I went and got Defensive
Player of the Year
"Treat people how you wanna be treated
" that was your slogan
I love that wrestling and you
Bought me that Hulk Hogan
Still watching people kids
Still cooking dinner
Foundation strong 'cause it's you
That's at the center
Too many acts of kindness you
Doin' with no agenda half blinded
One eye with a great set of antennas
Told me I could probably catch a
Fish with yo hook hat
Drink some alcohol you was telling
Me I look dead i was in the wrong you said
You wouldn't tell my mama
Ain't nothin' like a person that
Can always keep a promise

Say your prayers, be for real
You know I miss a part of you
Keep your head up you know I'm watching over
You in the sunshine
You know I'm watching over
You in the sunshine
I want you to be a man, stay true
Don't let nobody get over you, be for real
You know I'm watching over
You in the sunshine
I'm watching over you in the sunshine
