Thank You R&B - Bryson Tiller

A young boy from the hood South

I knew I didn’t belong because I stood out

My house burned down, left with nothing but a doubt

I need me something new that I could learn now

Riding in the old school, listening to old music

Who granted, I really couldn’t stand it

But damn it, I love it now

Put nothing above it now

Which is why I never thought about rapping (Ha)

I needed something more sweet

Which is how I found out about a thing called R&B

Unfortunately, nobody was supporting me

That’s why I kept it on the low like a submarine

I remember the days being a rookie

The ones that been playing the game would overlook me

And once they saw that I was cold, producers started cooking me

And all the new rappers got old so I say

Thank you R&B

You separate me from all of these locals surrounding me

You brought out the cloud in me

Now, I can shine

I don’t want to waste no time

I just want the fame right now

Be a celebrity, all of this fame, yeah God

I just want to make it mine

Hear me out, I deserve it

I just ain’t been heard yet

Down low, it’s worth it

I’m just so glad I can do something these people can’t

And that’s why I say thanks to R&B

Oh thank you R&B (Yeah)

Singing in the shower but came

Singing into a studio mic for a couple of hours and then

I realized I was better than most

Cockiness to the side, I had a hell of a float, for real

I’ve always asked for a deal, fuck a bargain

Tryna get signed like a tree, bark carvin'

My songs hot, they should charge me with arson

And I kill the beats sick, call it coughin' in a coffin

Singing to your girl on the phone, late at night

Pleasure P did it wrong but I made it right

Success ain’t cheap, I’m working hard to pay the price

Make way for Bryson 'cause I’m taking flight (Woah)

I appreciate the haters

And the «Tiller would never be famous» debaters

And I appreciate every single prayer

And thank God most for giving me the breath to say this

Thank you R&B

You separate me from all of these locals surrounding me

You brought out the cloud in me

Now, I can shine

I don’t want to waste no time

I just want the fame right now

Be a celebrity, all of this fame, yeah God

I just want to make it mine

Hear me out, I deserve it

I just ain’t been heard yet

Down low, it’s worth it

I’m just so glad I can do something these people can’t

And that’s why I say thanks to R&B

Oh thank you R&B (Yeah)

Man, I swear (Oh-wow)

I love you, you know?

It’s something special to me (Oh-wow)

I need it (I need it)

I’ma do it (I need it)

And keep going (I need it)

And keep going (I need it)

And let’s go HQ
