Built around A thank-you to everyone who helped along the way, the gratitude speech you always wanted to give, album closer. Street Wire's raw, unfiltered production carries the concept through hip-hop-soul that rewards repeat listens. "I'd like to thank my mama first for working double shifts" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs grateful, emotional, triumphant. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.
[verse 1]
I've been practicing this speech since I was fourteen in my room
Holding a shampoo bottle like a trophy in the gloom
I'd like to thank my mama first for working double shifts
So I could have a chance at more than just existing on the brink
I'd like to thank my brother who believed when he was all I had
Who drove me to the studio when the bus route was bad
I'd like to thank the teacher who said you're not stupid you're just different
That sentence rearranged my brain and made me listen
[chorus]
Thank you speech I've been waiting for this moment
Thank you speech every word is hand chosen
To the ones who held me up when I was barely standing
Thank you speech this is my understanding
That nobody makes it alone nobody walks the stage
Without an army in the wings who helped them find the way
Thank you this is my thank you speech
[verse 2]
I'd like to thank the landlord who gave me thirty extra days
The friend who let me crash for months and never asked for pay
The stranger who retweeted me when I had twenty-two followers
The first customer who bought my product she was a true believer swallower
Of pride I'd like to thank it because pride would've stopped me cold
Humility is what kept me warm when I was out in the cold
I'd like to thank the failures every single one by name
Because without the losses I would never love this game
[chorus]
Thank you speech I've been waiting for this moment
Thank you speech every word is hand chosen
To the ones who held me up when I was barely standing
Thank you speech this is my understanding
That nobody makes it alone nobody walks the stage
Without an army in the wings who helped them find the way
Thank you this is my thank you speech
[bridge]
They're playing the music telling me to wrap it up
But I've got one more thing before I hold this cup
To everyone who's listening who hasn't made it yet
Your thank you speech is loading and the world will never forget
The world will never forget you
[chorus]
Thank you speech I've been waiting for this moment
Thank you speech every word is hand chosen
To the ones who held me up when I was barely standing
Thank you speech this is my understanding
That nobody makes it alone nobody walks the stage
Without an army in the wings who helped them find the way
Thank you this is my thank you speech
[outro]
Thank you
I mean it
Every word
Thank you speech
Goodnight
