This Goes Out To You - YONAS

Check it, aye yo

This right here is, this is honestly the jam

To make them all say YONAS is honestly the man

On my Ferris Bueller shit, school was never in the plan

Because what I got is special like a jewel in the sand

Make a move where they can slam

Rappers like to pretend

I always keep a girl that’s why they like me to win

And who would’ve ever thought that my life would ever begin

By inspiring the world through the strike of a pen

So I got to thank the fans because they made me who I am

First, they showed me how to fall

Then they taught me how to stand

I just got to be myself, and they all understand

Like an Aloe Blacc song

I’m the man, I’m the man

(Ha ha)

I took a theory and I turned it into fact

You took a couple rock songs and turned them into rap

You all liked it better because I gave it what it lacked

Had some fun with it and then I gave it back

So this is for you

This goes out to you (x3)

You were there when no one was around

This goes out to you (x3)

You were there when no one was around

Now I don’t have a corny name for my fan base

But they still love me because I’m something you can’t hate

Plus I draw what these other dudes can’t trace

Out of this world you’re better off trying to scan space

A bed of nails, ain’t no sleeping on the kid

I don’t usually smoke, but now I’m chiefing on the clear

It’s never easy to cope when the reason you exist is to carry the torch

My niggas reaching for this shit

But I got it

Nope, I’m not a novice

I know I’m an artist

And also a product

And I got friends that look like Mike Brown

But I got some friends that live in white towns

So I try to find a way to stay cool

But somehow I always manage to break rules

And if I ever lied on a record, lord let me die today

(Huh)

And by the way, I do this for you

This is for any being being creative

I thank you for the things that you have created

Even if it seems that we ain’t related

You’re the reason I ever had dreams of being the greatest

I could rush to the finish but shit is better patient

Feeling like I’m minutes from a celebration

Pour champagne glass leaving demons in the past

One toast for success, another toast to make it last
