Peace World. New collaboration with the producer duo A June & J Beat and yours truly, If It Hadn’t Been For You featuring soul singer Jeff Bernat & Substantial.
I wrote this track as a dedication to my closest family and friends who’ve stood with me since day one. You are appreciated. If it...
Hook: Jeff Bernat
Cause I'm grateful for your love
And I'm blessed with all the things you do for me
Never can I thank you enough
So I dedicate this song so you can see
Verse 1: Substantial
January 7th was the day I first wept
And took my first breath and if it hadn't been for you
I never would've took my first steps
Your last child passed his first test, it goes without saying
But thanks for what you did and what you're doing
Through the cheers and booing cuz if it hadn't been for you
Fam and peers I would have clearly been ruined
Taught me temporary setbacks are part of being human
Push forward I wish Pops would've been around more
Why’d he put me down for if it hadn’t been for him
And the fact he gave compliments sparingly
I probably wouldn't rhyme with such clarity apparently
I'm really trying to make you all proud of your little brother
I gotta return the love because if it hadn't been for you
Amount of dumb shit I've did would've been doubled
Y'all helped to keep me alive not just kept me out of trouble
That's real
Hook: Jeff Bernat
Cause I'm grateful for your love (yes I'm grateful)
And I'm blessed with all the things you do for me (with all the things you do)
Never can I thank you enough (never, never, ever)
So I dedicate this song so you can see
Verse 2: Substantial
We do our thing and we're good, don't link as much as we should
At times, misunderstood but if it hadn't been for you
This music we love loses it shimmer
Your confidence in me help me really lose like a winner
No longer a beginner I finally feel I've won
But it isn't much fun if I can't share with you (no)
You seen it from its inception
Recognizing my greatness and blessings off 1st impressions
And knew that I was destined to be apart of her queendom
A shoulder to lean on if it hadn't been for her
I would've been a star with his sheen gone
Lost in the dark so I'm thankful that our team's strong
Never lost the spark I'm here where I belong
Live & I dream on if it hadn't been for them
Y'all probably would've never had this song
Grateful I've been rocking out for this long
No doubt
Hook: Jeff Bernat
Cause I'm grateful for your love (yes I'm grateful)
And I'm blessed with all the things you do for me (with all the thing you do)
Never can I thank you enough (never, never, ever)
So I dedicate this song so you can see
That I'm grateful for your love (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I'm blessed with all the things you do for me
Never can I thank you enough (thank you, thank you)
But I dedicate this song so you can see
