Gratitude Lyrics - Mike Posner

Gratitude 

My band teachers' name was Mr. Z 

And he told me quote, 'You ain't shit', end quote 

But it wasn't 'till I heard that that I quit 

And bought that motif, made them dope beats 

Turned that old car to this window seat 

But it all makes sense 

Now God gives me hits every time I burn incense 

Don't that make you so insense? 

Mr Z 

Woo I blew up and ain't visit your class since 

But wait, I didn't write this to say I told you so 

Because without you I never would've sold out shows 

I thought that was worth a page or two 

Dear Mr. Z, this is dedicated to you 

Gratitude, thank you

Dad called when Uncle Fred died 

I didn't want my mom to see me cry 

so I got 'em all out on the flight back 

People lookin' at me funny, it's like that 

See, Uncle Fred, he was a good guy 

He was proud when I started to win 

My Aunt told me that he loved me and I 

swear to god, she gave me one of his pens 

I mean the same pen that I wrote this song with 

The same pen that I'm 'bout to put the team on with 

'Cause he keeps giving me dope shit 

And people keep on telling me 'Mike, you're so sick' 

I hope that's enough to change your mood 

Transform a Michigan sky from grey to blue 

I thought that was worth a page or two 

Dear Uncle Fred, this is dedicated to you 

Gratitude, thank you 

His friends could never pay you back, shit 

Most of my friends never had no dads 

And before we knew I had a sick style 

You used to drive me to the studio to rap on 6 mile 

You showed me that a real man ain't afraid 

Because he hugs, kisses, and cries 

April to April, stays faithful, loves, listens and tries 

So when I do find Mrs. Right, 

You best believe that my game gon' be zipper tight 

Like you're still making mom breakfast every morning 

You start her car up in the winter when it's snowing 

Remember when you broke it down in New Orleans 

I didn't tell you I had my phone recording 

I said 'why'd you marry mom and you said; 

"It was a really hard decision and then it was," 

"So why did you make that decision?" 

"Well, cause I, obviously intuitively Michael, I knew I loved mom" 

"Your instincts, 

Show her your heart and knew this is the right thing to do" 

"My heart must have known. This was playing games" 

"Would you say your hearts more important in life?" 

"Well when you're 25, 

You'll have to make that decision someday, I don't know" 

Now that is some G shit 

When my son's 25, I'll show him this poem, he's gon' need this 

I thought that was worth a page or two 

Dear Dad, this is dedicated to you 

Gratitude, thank you
