"Grateful"
Written by Pieter Monzon (Pete Philly), Pieter Perquin (Perquisite) and Matthijs Rook (Nicolay)
Dear family and friends
I need to thank you
In this note that I'm sending you
I need to show my gratitude
I'm truly indebted to you
Thank you for pulling me through

Dear family and friends
I really need to thank you
You were there for me
So I will always be there for you
And this is how I show my gratitude

Dear mama, let me start off with you
I know there ain't a thing you wouldn't do
To try and pull me through
And if there's anything good 

To be said about me
Then it's true that I owe it all to you

Remember back 

When we were in the old apartment
Where every minute that was spent 

Was truly heartfelt
And even though pops was gone

I know you stood strong
And equipped me 

To convert thought to song
And in the end 

Taught me right from wrong shit
Even though I ended up 

Doing some wrong shit
I came out of it, strong and fit 

And equipped 
With the right state of mind 
To go and handle shit

And to my second dad

It really makes me sad
Your daughters don't appreciate

The thing that I had
And that's some true fatherhood
And if I could love you more
Then you know that I would and should 

For sure

Pops, I'm really glad we're talking again
On the phone to Aruba, long distance and
Every instance when you tell me 

Of the story 'bout "no guts, no glory"
I can assure you, you never bore me
And assure you that Tamara loves you
And I know that she knows 

That you love her too
So stop buggin' dude
And go and give her a call
Matter of fact, here's her number

'Cause we family y'all

Dear family and friends
I need to thank you
In this note that I'm sending you
I need to show my gratitude
I'm truly indebted to you
Thank you for pulling me through

Dear family and friends
I really need to thank you
You were there for me
So I will always be there for you
And this is how I show my gratitude

I wanna send my love 

To every girl I ever went with
Who saw that thing in me 

That others couldn't see
Now many do, and they're givin' love too
But it ain't the same 

As the love I've gotten from you
So thank you for that, stay true to that
Even when other cats 

Try to convince you I was wack
Staying back to back
Is the reason why 

I love all of the women in my life 
And that's a fact

I'm so grateful for all of the love 

That I've gotten
Even when other cats 

Act hateful and rotten
It ain't forgotten

But I'm grateful for the negative
'Cause through my music 

I can turn it into something positive
I guess it's how I live
I guess it's how I give
My love through this track
So please remember that

Dear family and friends
This is the way I send my love back
