This Goes Out to You

Check it, ay, yo

This right here, this is honestly the jam

To make them all say, YONAS, honestly the man

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

'Cause what I got is special like a jewel that's in the sand

Make a move where they can slam, rapper like to pretend

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

And who would've ever though that my life would begin

By inspirin' the world through the strike of a pen

So, I gotta thank the fans because they make me who I am

First they showed me how to fall then they taught me how to stand

I just gotta be myself and they'll all understand

Like and Aloe Blacc song, I'm the man, I'm the man

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

'Cause this is for you

This goes out to you, this goes out to you

This goes out to you, you were there when no one was around

This goes out to you, this goes out to you

This goes out to you, you were there when no one was around

Now I have a corny name for my fan base

But they still love me 'cause I'm somethin' that you can't hate

Plus I draw what these other dudes can't trace

Out of this world, you better off tryin' scan space

A bed of nails, ain't no sleepin' on the kid

I don't usually smoke, but now I'm chiefin' on the clear

It's never easy to cope when the reason you exist

Is to carry the torch, my **** reachin' for the shit

But I got it, nope, I'm not a novice

I know I'm a 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 I always manage to break rules

And If I ever lie on a record, Lord, let me die today

Huh, and by the way, I do this for you

This goes out to you, this goes out to you

This goes out to you, you were there when no one was around

This goes out to you, this goes out to you

This goes out to you, you were there when no one was around

This 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 bein' the greatest

I could rush to finish, but shit is better patient

Feelin' like I'm minutes from a celebration

Pour champagne glass, leavin' demons in the past

One toast for success, another toast to make it last

This goes out to you, this goes out to you

This goes out to you, you were there when no one was around

This goes out to you, this goes out to you

This goes out to you, you were there when no one was around

(Around, around)

(Around) You were there when no one was around

(Around, around)

(Around) You were there when no one was around
