Purchased a CD Or a piece of vinyl

Deejayed my record

Promoted my record

I wanna thank y’all man from the bottom of my heart

Secondly, I wanna dedicate this song to y’all, man

‘Cause without y’all there is no me



I can never turn my back on ya’ll

‘Cause ya’ll put me where I’m at

So when you call I’ll be there just like that

Signin’ autographs, givin’ daps to all my folks

Tellin’ little kids don’t follow these dopes

See,I’mma keep barkin’ long as ya’ll 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, singin’, not missin’ 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, then leave it, and get a nice big plate of fish

Which is my favorite dish But without ya’ll,

I couldn’t kick it like this, I wanna

I wanna thank you

For makin’ me who

I am and puttin’ 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 stations, day after day to play my song

If it wasn’t for you there wouldn’t be no me

And that’s why I’m gonna ride for you forever more

(For more) Forever more, more

I just wanna thank you

I wanna thank you for the groups that came before me

All of y’all in the office that promote me on the streets

All the mom and pop stores that don’t get a lot of credit

The spots in the hood, the first ones to set it

All the mixed show DJs, please keep it pumpin’

Thank you for your support and, yes,

I’m gonna keep it comin’

I love how you love that, so I’m givin’ back

‘Cause y’all the ones that kept this player on track

The reason I’m seen is because of you

The reason I’m heard and my dreams came true

Now if you ever made a poster or wrote a fan letter

All I’m tryin’ to do is show you some L-O-V-E

And let you know without y’all, there is no me JD,

JE the whole SSD Now if you ride for we, then

I’mma ride for you

From the bottom of my heart, baby, tell ‘em what

I wanna do I wanna thank you For makin’ me who

I am, puttin’ 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’ in to your local stations, day after day to play my song
