Alaa - Appreciation Lyrics

Ala$a
S with the dollar sign
MMB
Mama, papa thank you for life
Thank you for guidance
Thank you for light
On this journey of mine
I've come to realize
Your strength and love
Kept me alive
It was never rosy
Plenty of wars
But you loved me truly
Forever yours
Told me to be the best
Words I cling to
Helped me through life's tests
A powerful mantle
I see the knife
I see the slice
I see the enemies
They coming with the strife
But you my pillar
My rare gem
My roger milla
See me through the sandstorm
Water to die thirst
Flawless beauty
My treasure crest
Mirror for clarity
For this I keep on moving
Keep evolving
Showing my thanks and... appreciation

Friends come
Friends go
But papa and mama, they stay close
My past, my present
Incandescent
Blessings from your lips
My feet it directs
And in it comes the strength
To renew, and re-invent
Places, faces and events
Of my life both calm and tense
I do not need to go and pretend
This family name I will defend
Appreciate the love that tend
To wounds and anger a nigga felt
So pure from heaven and it touches the earth (and it touches the earth)
I hear the critics
I see their antics
Their words like vomit
Coming at me with such vermin
But you are my miracle
Touching all parts like tentacles
Nerves all through like spiracle
Making me a true spectacle
Heavenly blessings... i'm celestial
Not of the flesh... more of spiritual
That's why these talents has no terminal

My siblings that vested
And trusted
Me to make progress in all of my ventures
Words cannot fathom
The love i have got
Wish I could get y'all a phantom
Whatever it's worth
Supportive and active
In all that I act in
Never for once showed negative reaction
Fuel to my passion
A compass in ocean
Got me all mapped out to my destination
For my exes are lessons
I'm puzzled
With no more questions
Thanks for the moments
Warm hugs and kisses
Fights and the distress
Cold nights on mattress
I count it to God all blessings (appreciation)
And for friends
That turned to family
Etched forever in my memory
From blessed who continues to rest peacefully
To those still alive
That I smile with cheerfully
From dappy to Morris
Eric and Uyi
Osama and co
Would love you till I get stricken and old
And our story in history will be forever told
I see the real ones
I see the fans
I applaud their efforts
I see their plans
This year is ours for blessings
For mercies
For love
For greatness
No hate
More progress
For prayers
And answers
To legacy
To rap
For music
For peace
And bliss
For closure
And money
Family
Growth
And wisdom
This is my appreciation
Appreciation... it's all about love
It's all about family
Appreciation
