Junior Makhno - Acceptance Speech lyrics

[Ill Bill] First and foremost, a toast to my Mom & my Pop My daughter and my wife, there's no one more important in my life Without them I wouldn't be alive in the literal sense And in the mind, they are my inspiration to grind My reason to live, rest in peace to my grandmothers and my uncles Y'all molded the person I became and for that I love you It's difficult to explain through lyrics how much I miss you Please accept any success I've achieved as a tribute A testament to your impact And influence on everything I've ever did, you'll forever live I never been a religious person but still bear witness to a higher power Some only pray in their final hour But I remain grateful for my blessings Thankful to the most high, for the many gifts whether present Past or futuristic, blessed to be able to express myself through words And give thanks using the lyrics (Interlude) The winner is… Ill Bill… number one I feel very grateful, very humble I wanna thank everyone I've waited a very long time I dedicate this to you for believing in me I just wanna say… thanks… thank you [Ill Bill] Secondly I'd like to address where it all popped From Farragut Road to your block Gargling booze, and saw god sparking a doob Marketing crude, sharpening tools, we're martyrs & goon shooters That shoot constant modern day Goose Gossage Ice cold though, Siberian summers appear hotter Quite bold like a Nigerian underwear bomber Dope war, folklore, coke who*e smoke more Morbid epitaph, Sordid tortured past provoke more Try to stab me with a knife to be exact Spitefully attacked, trifling and wack, grimier in fact Than any award or any rap, any who*e or any rat Close the door on petty crap Very happy, thankful to my best of friends Had to cut ties with any of the very many snakes in the gra** that left me for dead Dumped in the river, swept in the ocean Heavy emotion, stand firm though the end is approaching, I'm open (Interlude) The winner is… Ill Bill… number one Ladies and gentleman, a real round of applause Yall appointed me to bring rap justice I've waited a very long time I dedicate this to you for believing in me It's truly fantastic To show our appreciation for you [Ill Bill] Lastly I'd like to thank all my influences And various inspirational individuals that got me in the music business I'm a fan first so I appreciate mines Thanks to my fans, you're my family, I take pride In your support and every album you bought Down for life, I love y'all for never doubting your boy Same way I love LL Cool J and Kiss One made me wanna rock, the other made me wanna spit Rick Rubin made me wanna flip em both at the same time Slayer and Scarface inspired me to write insane rhymes Thanks to L'Amours in Brooklyn accepting my fake ID Opened for Sepultura there when I was only 17 Thanks to my band Injustice Thanks to Ace London Studios for letting us rehearse when we ain't have nothing And shouts to all of yall that said I couldn't do it You gave me the fire to kick down the door and walk through it (Interlude) The winner is… Ill Bill… number one I feel very grateful, very humble And I owe thanks to many, many people I've waited a very long time I dedicate this to you for believing in me What more could I say?
