Thank You

Casablanca

You’ve been good to me

Gave me my day ones and my family

But the little girl

Had a dream about the big, big world

She said goodbye

Got on a plane

A couple hours later woke up in La

Still a little girl

Trynna make it in this mad, mad world

Pretty pretty face

Won’t u come back to my place

I know people you should meet

Don’t you worry take a seat

Just like that I can make you a star

Don’t you how lucky you are

I never fell for your trap

I was better than that

It’s The way I was raised

see me now on the stage

never needed you to get where I’m at

I can thank my people for that

Thank you to my mama

For Hours on the phone

You always put a smile on me

When I was all alone

Thank you to my baba

For always acting tough

I hated what you did sometimes

But now I see it’s love

I’m proud of who I’m becoming

From a lost kid grown into a strong woman

I’ve been naive I’ve made mistakes

Been under pressure but a diamond never breaks

I’m the oldest of 3, I hope I’m not a disappointment to my family

For following for a dream that nobody else could see

 you’d think it’s just for me but I’ve been watering the seeds yeah I do it for my country

I do it for the culture

I wanna see my brothers happy

Thank you to my mama

For Hours on the phone

You always put a smile on me

When I was all alone

Thank you to my baba

For always acting tough

I hated what you did sometimes

But now I see it’s love
