Thanking the Girls

Ishmael Butler

[Intro]
With ears to hear, all subtle [?]
And eyes that see with clarity
The dark creature of a single blood
To all the girls in the world

[Verse 1]
I’m thanking you girl for changing my life 
For making me whole and being my wife
For holding me tight and all through the night 
And trusting in me and lusting for free
Yes, I played the game, wrote so many names
Across my heart that I hoped to die
To fall up again, I wouldn’t even try
But you came along, so good and so strong
Your hair was so bomb, your ideas
That fly kind of weird, wildness and pure
Yeah, I’m sure
You pose like a poster, honey glowed up
Your jeans is a holster, look over your shoulder
Your eyes start to smolder (At me)
If I knew you there I would show up 
You’d see me and show off 
Nep knew I dug you, I told you, "I love you"
You gone, it's a struggle, move on, ooh, it's tough to 
But seasons they pass and change
And good things don’t last, remains
They wash up on the shores of my mind
Somehow getting stronger with time (Stronger)
 
[Chorus]
I'm thanking you girl, I'm loving you
I'm thanking you girl, I'm loving you
I'm thanking you girl, I'm loving you
I'm thanking the girls, I'm loving you

[Verse 2]
I'm thanking you, Dee, for being so free and being so g
So kind and so fine, big sister, divine, and taking your time 
And Khaila, who’s flyer? Baby hair styling, got all the jokes
Dee said when y’all out you want all the smoke
I’m just so happy how y’all are so close
I’m just so happy when both the girls close to me
Laughing, relaxing, and clowning, free (Oh, that’s your boyfriend, nice to meet you brother)
If he should get out of line, I’m a down him
Bottom line, rain or shine, family 
Put one up one time for moms and your grannies
When Jazz have a baby, think about it
I’m gon’ be g-pop and y’all gon’ be aunties 
But life is a garden of forking paths
Highs arise then lows arrive fast
The only way past it, to get off your ass
Your value not tied up in shit from no man
But y’all knew that
The one thing that you can count on is dad 
I’m thanking you girls

[Chorus]
I'm thanking you girls, I'm loving you
I'm thanking you girls, I'm loving you
I'm thanking you girls, I'm loving you
I'm thanking you girls, I'm loving you
I'm thanking you girls, I'm loving you
I'm thanking you girls, I'm loving you
I'm thanking you girls, I'm loving you
I'm thanking you girls, I'm loving you

[Outro]
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, yeah
I'm lovin' you, I'm lovin' you
I'm thanking the girls, I'm lovin' you
I'm thanking the girls, I'm lovin' you
