Thank You

[Verse 1: Early Adopted]

Well I think we're all set
The car is running
Luckily, cause the battery died but somebody jumped us
No gas and no where to go
So I drove as far as I could
Until the power steering froze
And I guess I just need a different type of scenery
I've left this place for someone who hasn't seen these things
So good luck because there's not much left
I'm pretty sure I've taken all of the good from it
Cause' this town was milk dried a long while ago
Mothers dry tears because their child has to dry their nose
And now I know just from paying attention
What not to do, I've seen too many take an early exit
And I'm thankful (yup)
I've learned a lot, let me tell you
Like letting go of the inevitable that have fell through
From girlfriends who would rather skip a kiss
In order to keep her lipstick in perfect condition
It's a privilege really to have had the experience
These things I will never do again
There's the one's who say they helped and the one's who did
And for that, I never will forget my friends (yes)

[Hook: Early Adopted]

There's been so many in and out of my life
Never even had the chance to be good at a goodbye
Cause they move too fast I barely saw em
And this is becoming quite routine (Know what I mean?)
But there's a few that have always been here
Who never let me down, to all my friends I've held dear
Blood related or not, you're all family the same
I want to say thank you, you're who's kept me sane

[Verse 2: Early Adopted]

My man Nick, you're my heart son, my brother
You stood by me through some wild shit when no one else would've
I seen you get stepped on, bro
But now you're doing fine
I guess the good guys do make it out sometimes
And I hope you stay with Chelsea, man
She's good for you
You two give me hope for the future
I mean, we're growing up now and things change
But we still laugh and crack jokes just like we used to
And that goes for you too Brad, and you David
True friends, these two are a few of my favorites
Brad, if you go to the army be safe
And you know I'm right here
While you wait for the results of that court case
And Dave, may everything you want come true
A lot of times I only want to hear advice from you
Evan Hogan, where you at?
Here's your pat on the back
One of the few natural, genuine cats left
Sam X, Dan Craven, Lauren Lecomte
Desso, my Tri-Town girls, I love you all
Can't forget Palermo, 16 bars, too many names
Here's to all the real ones who kept me sane (I'm saying)

My parents
I love em' more than anything
Even though they may not know it
I owe em' everything
Brought me up right and taught me respect
Told me that whatever I ended up doing I'd be the best
So I just want you to know you are appreciated
Words can't express how much I really mean that
You both told me not to put anything down in writing
Sorry guys I couldn't help myself (I just couldn't)
My father
The strongest man alive
Would take a bullet with pride to see his family thrive
The man who worked gutting fish
Hands were sliced and slit
When he was laid off to make sure he could provide for his kids
Want to talk about heart?
Well meet my mom
The most beautiful woman in my life by far
Gave me my sense of humor
Taught me how to be a gentleman
Put me in line when I was a rebellious kid
And she doesn't get why I make these songs
Don't worry, your son is happy mom
You know I was never one to just be a face in the crowd
I promise one day I'll make you proud
I love you both
