[C] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ It is truly an honor to be here tonight to help present [D] the 2018 RDMA [Dbm] Impact Award.
_ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [E] _ I'm blessed enough to breathe the same air as has had such a [B] lasting impact on this industry
and on many little girls like myself growing up wanting to be [G] just like her.
[B] I remember [Ab] wearing out the carpet in my [G] grandmother's living room [Ab] trying to recreate the dance moves
in our video.
Exactly.
_ _ [Fm] _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Gb] Every time I take the [Eb] stage, a part of her spirit is in every [Abm] move that I make. _
Look, I have made it [C] publicly clear that Janet Jackson is my one and only [F] icon.
I too grew up watching her and idolizing her.
This moment is a [Ab] dream come true.
Now, [E] I've embarrassed myself [D] enough in front of her, [Bbm] so tonight I must [Db] redeem myself.
_ [D]
You Janet [B] Jackson have embodied the essence of multi-generational mega [F]-iconism.
Every album, _ appearance, [D] tour, video, every comeback, [Ebm] every installment of you to the
public is [Bb] uniquely crafted in [Fm] fierceness.
You are _ art, [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Dm] you are the goddess of [F] performance, you [A] are the groove queen.

[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ It's beautiful [B] and it's humbling _ to be [G] recognized [Ab] as someone [B] who's _ [F] had a [Gb] positive impact.
[Bb] But _ _ [B]
if I've [E] been fortunate enough to [Ab] impact others, [Eb] it's only because [G] I myself _
[N] _ have been greatly [Gb] impacted by positive [F] people in my life.

_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Gb] _ _ [F] _ [E] _ _ _ _
[C] _ [Db] _ [C] mother [Bb] nourished me [G] with the most extravagant love imaginable. _
[Gb] My father, my [B] incredible father, [Bb] drove me to be the best I can.
_ My siblings set an [G] incredibly high [B] standard, a high bar for artistic [A] excellence. _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Ab] Every day I'm impacted [G] by young people such as [Bb] you, [B] whose precious idealism [Gm] is demanding social change. _ _
[A] _ _ [Bb] _ [A] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ [E] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ [Gb] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
In [B] nations world over, [Bb]
my brave, [A] brave sisters [Bb] impact me.
Those who speak [A] their truths in public [E] and [G] pave the way for a more just [Bb] future. _
[Abm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Bb]
Environmentalists [A] working to heal our wounded planet, doctors seeking to cure disease, [G] their impact is so profound.
[Bb] Sometimes though having an impact _ [A] can be a [Gb] simple act.
It could be [A] a smile, a [Bb]
[A] handshake, a hug.
_ [E] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [D] _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] We expand [Bb] our ability to [Ab] give and receive _
[B] pure, pure love by doing that. _
_ [Bb] So _ [B] thank you [Gb] once again.
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
This means so much to me coming [B] from all of you, [A] it really does.
[D] _ _ _ _
Your [A] gracious acknowledgement will surely [Ab]
inspire [Bb] me to continue to grow as an artist and as a [Gb] human being.
Thank you so much.
