ELZhi, Dudley Perkins - Compassion lyrics

Well, I just wanna thank you (Thank you)
Well, I just wanna thank you (Thank you)
Well, I just wanna thank you (Thank you)
(I wanna thank you)
Well, I just wanna (Thank)

Maybe my name don't ring bells
You never knew my mom
But you pray her offspring fails
The only one you picked on outta class
That you passed with a D-
If you think it's you then
You should rewind this
'Cause as a kid I was mind-screwed
You came off in ways I found rude
With my spine glued
Directly to the back of the chair
And your vernacular just
Wasn't spectacular where
You were schoolin', in fact, you were there
Ridiculin' some sixth-grader
You left with mental issues he
Had to fix later
Could you tell he lived where
The convicts cater addiction?
Across the street where they beefed
Out the latest friction
Awoken by the aftermath so he lack sleep
(You) tryna stay awake in your class
As a black sheep but really, he's a GOAT
And what he wrote on this track keep
People wonderin' what did you smoke
Was it crack? They sold the pack cheap
Those days, with your smug look
And your nose raised
Kinda while I'm goin' through my
Haircut and clothes phase
You're the reason why I never went to college
And why I skipped periods in high school
(Thank you) instead, I hopped on my porch
Searchin' for the Triforce in Hyrule
Smokin' regs with my nigga Phil, cookin' eggs
Write a rhyme, try to get between some legs
And it begs the question
What you see inside of me
That made you angry?
And mad enough to hang me out
To dry like a Hanes tee
Medium, what perspective did you see me from?
Young, Black kid from the hood
Now look what he become

Well, I just wanna thank you
I'd like to thank you, child, yes, yeah
I'd like thank you all
Well, I just wanna thank you (Thank you)

Everything is divine, a lesson I had to learn
I got love for y'all who made
It hard for me to earn
I just pray that karma don't hit
You hard when it return
But, if it does, whatever it was
Don't be concerned
Hope you got something to burn
With someone to talk to
With some positive books to read
Some doors you can walk through
A couch you can sleep on
A place where you can stay
Until you're on your feet and
Things go your way (Thank you)
Y'all used to say funny things behind my
Back as if it wouldn't get back
I parted ways with my lack to
Have some money to stack
And y'all hated on that
Like I ain't rise from the
Ashes through these flashes
A brilliance that's too bright
For your sunglasses (Thank you)
I used to curse your names out
Until I saw the blessing
Because of y'all I started stressin'
And that part was destined
That's all I needed to show me my purpose
A buried treasure
It's always calm beneath the surface
(Thank you)

I'd like to thank you, child, yes, yeah
I'd like to thank you all
