If you ever brought a tape
Purchased a CD
Of a piece of vinyl
DJ'd my record
Promoted my record
I want to thank y'all man
From the bottom of my heart
Secondly I want to
Dedicate this song to y'all
Cause without y'all
There is no me
(Lil' Bow Wow:)
I can never turn
My back on y'all
Cause y'all put me
Where I'm at
So when ya call
I'll be there just like that
Signing autographs 
Giving dash to all my folks
Telling little kids
"Don't follow this dopes"
See I'ma keep barking and
Cause y'all bark wit' me
You know the website
All ya gotta do is hit me now
As much as the girls like me
You would think
You'd make the fellas sick
But they'd be right wit' 'em
Singing not listen the lick
Hair braided
Rockin' somebody's jersey
From up top that out west
And down in the dirty
Can't forget about the mid-west 
That's where I was found
That's where I live
That Columbus is the town
I got the paint, you got the paper
A CD, and tape
I signin' and be able to get
A nice big plate of fish
Which is my favorite dish
But without y'all
I couldn't kick it like this

[Chorus]

[Jagged Edge and Fundisha]
I want to thank you
For making me
Who I am
And puttin' me
Where I need to be
I want to thank you 
For the opportunity to
Do my thing in this industry
I want to thank you
For calling to your local stations
To everybody to play my song
If it wasn't for you
There wouldn't be no me
And that's why
I'm gonna rock for you
Forever more

I want to thank you
For the proofs that
Came before me
All of y'all and the office that
Promote me on the street 
All the mom and pops gone
That don't get a lot of credit
This spots in the hood
The first one to sell it
All the mix show DJ's
Please keep it pumping
Thank you for your support
And yes, I'm gonna
Keep it coming
I love how you love that
So I'm giving back
Cause y'all the ones that
Kept this player on track
The reason I'm seeing is
Because of you
The reason I'm heard and
My dreams came true
Now if you ever made a poster
Or wrote a fan letter
All I'm tryin' to do is
Show you some L-O-V-E
And let you know without y'all 
There is no me
J.D., J.E., the whole S.S.D.
Now if you rock for we
Then I'ma rock for you
From the bottom of my heart
Baby tell 'em what I want to do

[Chorus]

[Jagged Edge & Fundisha]
I want to thank you
For making me
Who I am
And puttin' me
Where I need to be
I want to thank you 
For the opportunity to
Do my thing in this industry
I want to thank you
For calling to your local stations
To everybody to play my song
If it wasn't for you
There wouldn't be no me
And that's why
I'm gonna rock for you
Forever more
