If It Hadn't Been for You - Jeff Bernat, Substantial, A June & J Beat

Hook: Jeff Bernat

Cause I’m grateful for your love

And I’m blessed with all the things you do for me

Never can I thank you enough

So I dedicate this song so you can see

Verse 1: Substantial

January 7th was the day I first wept

And took my first breath and if it hadn’t been for you

I never would’ve took my first steps

Your last child passed his first test, it goes without saying

But thanks for what you did and what you’re doing

Through the cheers and booing cuz if it hadn’t been for you

Fam and peers I would have clearly been ruined

Taught me temporary setbacks are part of being human

Push forward I wish Pops would’ve been around more

Why’d he put me down for if it hadn’t been for him

And the fact he gave compliments sparingly

I probably wouldn’t rhyme with such clarity apparently

I’m really trying to make you all proud of your little brother

I gotta return the love because if it hadn’t been for you

Amount of dumb shit I’ve did would’ve been doubled

Y’all helped to keep me alive not just kept me out of trouble

That’s real

Hook: Jeff Bernat

Cause I’m grateful for your love (yes I’m grateful)

And I’m blessed with all the things you do for me (with all the things you do)

Never can I thank you enough (never, never, ever)

So I dedicate this song so you can see

Verse 2: Substantial

We do our thing and we’re good, don’t link as much as we should

At times, misunderstood but if it hadn’t been for you

This music we love loses it shimmer

Your confidence in me help me really lose like a winner

No longer a beginner I finally feel I’ve won

But it isn’t much fun if I can’t share with you (no)

You seen it from its inception

Recognizing my greatness and blessings off 1st impressions

And knew that I was destined to be apart of her queendom

A shoulder to lean on if it hadn’t been for her

I would’ve been a star with his sheen gone

Lost in the dark so I’m thankful that our team’s strong

Never lost the spark I’m here where I belong

Live & I dream on if it hadn’t been for them

Y’all probably would’ve never had this song

Grateful I’ve been rocking out for this long

No doubt

Hook: Jeff Bernat

Cause I’m grateful for your love (yes I’m grateful)

And I’m blessed with all the things you do for me (with all the thing you do)

Never can I thank you enough (never, never, ever)

So I dedicate this song so you can see

That I’m grateful for your love (yeah, yeah, yeah)

And I’m blessed with all the things you do for me

Never can I thank you enough (thank you, thank you)

But I dedicate this song so you can see
