Grateful (Nicolay Remix,Album version) - Pete Philly/Perquisite

Dear family and friends

I need to thank you

In this note that I'm sending you

I need to show my gratitude

I'm truly indebted to you

Thank you for pulling me through

Dear family and friends

I really need to thank you

You were there for me

So I will always be there for you

And this is how I show my gratitude

Dear momma let me start off with you

I know there ain't a thing you wouldn't do

To try and pull me through

And if there's anything good to be said about me

Than it's true that I owe it all to you

Remember back when we in the old apartement

With every minute that was spent was truly heartfelt

Even though pops was gone I know you stood strong

(And equipped me to comfort thought through song)

And in the end told me right from wrong s**t

Even though I ended up doing some wrong s**t

I came out of it strong and fit and equiped

With the right state of mind to go and handle s**t

Until my (second) dad It really makes me sad

You taught us to appreciate the things that I had

And that's some true fatherhood

And if I could love you more

Than you know that I would and should for sure

Pops I'm really glad we're talking again

On the phone to Aruba long distance and

Every instance when you tell me of the story bout no guns and glory

I can ashure you you never bore me

And ashure you that Tamara loves you and

And I know that she knows that you love her too

So stop buggin dude

And go and give her a call

Mather of fact here's her number cause we family y'all

Dear family and friends

I need to thank you

In this note that I'm sending you

I need to show my gratitude

I'm truly indebted to you

Thank you for pulling me through

Dear family and friends

I really need to thank you

You are there for me

So I will always be there for you

And this is how I show my gratitude

I wanna send my love to every girl I ever went with

Who saw that thing in me that others couldn't see

Now many do and they're giving love too

But it ain't the same as the love I've gotten from you

So thank you for that stay true to that

Even when other guys try to convince you I was wack

Staying back to back

Is the reason why I love all of the women in my life and that's a fact

I'm so grateful for all of the love that I've gotten

Even when cats act hateful and rotten

It ain't forgotten but I'm grateful for the negative

Cause through my music I can turn it into something positive

I guess this is how I live

I guess this is how I give

My love through this track

So please remember that

Dear family and friends

This is the way I send my love back

Dear family and friends

I really need to thank you

In this note that I'm sending you

I need to show my gratitude

I'm truly indebted to you

Thank you for pulling me through

Dear family and friends

I really need to thank you

You are there for me

So I will always be there for you

And this is how I show my gratitude
