Marsha Ambrosius - Thank You lyrics

[Verse 1: Dame D.O.L.L.A.] Remember back when I was five, I see my grandmother's pride Care-taking for friends and watched a couple die Grew attached to how you love and what you had inside Never held your tongue, wasn't lettin' nothing slide Learned early that you gotta give credit where's due Who better to start with, I gotta start with you All them days when you was sick and hustlin' us all to school Character and confidence, you gave us all the tools Got a whooping if we need it but thinking how we was treated You saw something in us way before we coulda seen it All them long drives with the cousins out to Phoenix Everybody got in trouble when they laughed at me for peeing Boy I couldn't do wrong, that's how you made me feel When I ain't made grades, you saved me from getting k**ed Remember bringing you the bags where you carried all your pills My parents separated you was loving me for real Thank you granny [Hook: Marsha Ambrosius] Say your prayers, be for real You know I miss a part of you, keep your head up You know I'm watching over you in the sunshine You know I'm watching over you in the sunshine I want you to be a man, stay true Don't let nobody get over you, be for real You know I'm watching over you in the sunshine I'm watching over you in the sunshine [Verse 2: Brookfield Deuce] What the Ds and Fs stand for?
