Appreciated (feat. Matt Sallee) Lyrics


King Karlemagne Appreciated (feat. Matt Sallee)

[Intro]
(We) tend to always get roses on our grave sites
Never while we can smell them
So if someone you appreciate is here right now
You might as well just go and tell them

[Verse 1: KING Karlemagne]
At sixteen I almost got expelled from school
For acting like a god damn fool
The principal said she thought I had lost my mind
I just thought she was being cruel
My grades were slipping, and I kept on falling behind
Basically in like every class
They'd call my mom in to tell her every time
In hopes that it might scare my ass
[Bridge: Karl & Matt]
Sitting in that office, you looked on, o so embarrassed
Wishing that you weren't my parent
Your friends may gossip, but tell them they don't know us
When were they ever there for us
You always had me, whenever my father hurt you
Who always stood up for you
When you weren't happy, and wouldn't put on that smile
Tell me, who brought it back in style

[Hook: Matt Sallee]
I'm trying to sorry
You deserved better
Just know I'm sorry
Now more than ever
And I appreciate every sacrifice
Sacrifices you made for me
Thank you very much for the great advice
The advice that you gave to me

[Verse 2: KING Karlemagne]
Remember how I came home one night
Escorted by the police
You looked really hurt and I knew that it wasn't right
But never stopped to take notice
All I knew then, was how I was o so broke
Didn't want to bring you no l stress
But I did just that coming home to you hand cuffed
Wasn't part of the plan but
[Bridge: Karl & Matt]
Sitting in that squad car, I could see you were embarrassed
Wishing that you weren't my parent
Your friends may gossip, but tell them they don't know us
When were they ever there for us
You always had me, whenever my father hurt you
Who always stood up for you
When you weren't happy, and wouldn't put on that smile
Tell me, who brought it back in style

[Hook: Matt Sallee]
I'm trying to sorry
You deserved better
Just know I'm sorry
Now more than ever
And I appreciate every sacrifice
Sacrifices you made for me
Thank you very much for the great advice
The advice that you gave to me

[Verse 3: KING Karlemagne]
Dear mama, hope you like how I turned out
I'm man, no thanks Dad, but I learned how
Had he taught me, then i'd probably arrogant
Too stuck in my own way to see you should be cherished, and
Treated like a queen, as I go over this beat
I hope you take these words as roses to your feet
Never made the honor roll, it was obviously a let down
Tried to make up for it with how good i could sketch now
I know a cap and gown were your plans for me, but
I only brought home degrees when I ran a fever
Wish I was more like Ivan, and the kids who graduated
Too much of a dreamer,and I know that's what you hated
I spent some years stressed and depressed about VA
But you loved my dad too much to question what he'd say
In time I understood it you couldn't make it to my games
Sure it took a while but I made it pass the pain
Got me that PS2 tho, you didn't have to do it
Never quite told you what the hell had happened to it
Opened that store at twenty one just make you proud of me
It really tore me up to see how much you doubted me
I guess that in a way I just needed your approval
One of the few things you can't seek and find on google
Wished you'd support me more, yeah you know I had to say it
Still doesn't change the fact that you are appreciated
(I love you Ma)
