__Explanation:__ Chris Brown's "Thank you" is a symbol of appreciation to all of the people who have made his life and career possible. Appreciation is the recognition of worth and the showing of repsect and admiration to something or someone. He shows apprectiation by first recognizing God all that he has given him. He goes on to give a shout of to his friends and family who have stuck by him and supported his career. He next shows appreciation for the place he was born; "I wanna thank you (I owe it all to you) dirty south I wanna thank you". Chris's southern roots must have had some influence on his life and personality. Finally he thanks his fans and the people who come out to his shows and buy his albums. Without them his career would be impossible. Whether he is thanking God, his family, his southern roots, or his fans Chris Brown shows his appreciatio by giving praise and thanks to those things who have made his life and career such a success. You needed something a little subtler here in terms of song choice and you needed to vary your word selection from the repition of "thank you." More diversity and further analysis would help this interpretation.
