Groove Lane Gratitude

Lyrics

Shoes on, speakers up, here we go
Sunday sunlight on the avenue
Little man rapping, got the whole block's flow
Skye on the hook, and she's coming through
I got a list of names in my phone
Everybody who ever picked me up
Ride to the gig when I had no ride
Pizza on the couch when I'd given up
Shout to my mama, shout to my crew
Shout to the DJ who gave me the mic
Shout to the cashier who said have a good one
And meant it, and made my night

Clap it for the ones who showed up
Clap it for the ones who stayed

Thank you, thank you, everybody
Put your hands up, say thank you
Thank you, thank you, everybody
We came up because of you
Groove lane, groove lane, shine on
Grateful in the glow till the night is gone
Thank you, thank you, everybody
Put your hands up, say thank you

Bus driver waited while I ran for the door
Neighbor lent a charger, coach lent a ball
Auntie wired twenty when the fridge was bare
Never kept a tally, never made a call
Now I got a stage and a hook that's loud
But I still hear the small things best
The text that said you got this
The hand on my chest
I'm paying it forward, one beat at a time
Every chorus is a thank-you note
Every kick drum is a thumping heart
Every 808 is a boat

Clap it for the ones who showed up
Clap it for the ones who stayed

Thank you, thank you, everybody
Put your hands up, say thank you
Thank you, thank you, everybody
We came up because of you
Groove lane, groove lane, shine on
Grateful in the glow till the night is gone
Thank you, thank you, everybody
Put your hands up, say thank you

Turn to your left, tell them thanks
Turn to your right, tell them thanks
Look up at the sky, say thanks
Hold it, hold it, then let it drop

Thank you, thank you, everybody
Put your hands up, say thank you
Thank you, thank you, everybody
We came up because of you
Groove lane, groove lane, shine on
Grateful in the glow till the night is gone
Thank you, thank you, everybody
Put your hands up, say thank you

Thank you, thank you
Everybody, say thank you
