BRYSON TILLER

"Thank You R&B"

[Intro:]
DJ E Dubb

A young boy from the hood South
I knew I didn't belong because I stood out
My house burned down, left with nothing but a doubt
I need me something new that I could learn now
Riding in the old school, listening to old music
Who granted, I really couldn't stand it
But damn it, I love it now
Put nothing above it now
Which is why I never thought about rapping (Ha)
I needed something more sweet
Which is how I found out about a thing called R&B
Unfortunately, nobody was supporting me
That's why I kept it on the low like a submarine
I remember the days being a rookie
The ones that been playing the game would overlook me
And once they saw that I was cold, producers started cooking me
And all the new rappers got old so I say

[Chorus:]
Thank you R&B
You separate me from all of these locals surrounding me
You brought out the cloud in me
Now, I can shine
I don't want to waste no time
I just want the fame right now
Be a celebrity, all of this fame, yeah God
I just want to make it mine
Hear me out, I deserve it
I just ain't been heard yet
Down low, it's worth it
I'm just so glad I can do something these people can't
And that's why I say thanks to R&B
Oh thank you R&B (Yeah)

Singing in the shower but came
Singing into a studio mic for a couple of hours and then
I realized I was better than most
Cockiness to the side, I had a hell of a float, for real
I've always asked for a deal, fuck a bargain
Tryna get signed like a tree, bark carvin'
My songs hot, they should charge me with arson
And I kill the beats sick, call it coughin' in a coffin
Singing to your girl on the phone, late at night
Pleasure P did it wrong but I made it right
Success ain't cheap, I'm working hard to pay the price
Make way for Bryson 'cause I'm taking flight (Woah)
I appreciate the haters
And the "Tiller would never be famous" debaters
And I appreciate every single prayer
And thank God most for giving me the breath to say this

[Interlude]

Man, I swear (Oh-wow)
I love you, you know?
It's something special to me (Oh-wow)
I need it (I need it)
I'ma do it (I need it)
And keep going (I need it)
And keep going (I need it)
And let's go HQ
