Thank You All the Same - Funky DL, Cicero

Thank you all the same, but I’mma be OK from here on in

I want you to know that I’m just fine, cos with or without you I’m all in

Verse One

Some people say why did I name my album Classic Was The Day?

Because I knew from the beginning I’ze about to pave the way

Some other Rappers didn’t fuck with me, I didn’t rhyme the same

And so they tried to throw they shade and talking shit around my name

That’s kinda' lame, but didn’t go from in and out my lane

And now they looking from a distance and they got no one to blame

They feel ashamed, cos everything they said was just in vain

But homie dripping from the tap don’t match with twenty years of rain

Are you insane?

If you could never see it from the start

I had this music in my heart and like Pete Rock and C.L.

Smooth it’s not a game

I went from people watching me on stage and taking photos with they bae

And now they sending messages with just a flame

And now I reminisce about days when I was living up in Dennison

Now look at everything that I became

Today I’m getting messages from people who were hating on me

Wanting to collaborate, but thank you all the same, no thank you all the same…

Thank you all the same, but I’mma be OK from here on in

I want you to know that I’m alright, cos with or without you I’m all in

Verse Two

Some people say I am the hardest working brother on a team

And I’ve been putting out this music since the age of seventeen

I had no studio, so had to go wherever I could be

Until an Engineer named Dillon told me bout the MPC

I raised my two grand up to put my two grand down

Cos I was sick of making music with a tin-pan sound

Got these Beat-Makers looking at my wingspan now

And they be doing what I’m doing but this kid stands out

I’m so in love and it started from the sound I heard Shaheed, Tip

Phife, Maseo, Posdnuos and can’t forget Trugoy the Dove

Mike G, Sammy B, Afrika, Dres, Mr Lawnge

Jarobi, Queen Latifah and the sister Monie Love

Prince Paul and the rest of the Natives

Cos they were so damn creative and yo' they music befitting just like a glove

I really wish my music was released a little earlier than 1997

But I wasn’t old enough, I wasn’t old enough…

Thank you all the same, but I’mma be OK from here on in

I want you to know that I’m just fine, cos with or without you I’m all in
