All That I Got Is You(feat Mary J Blige Poppa Wu Lyrics

[Intro One: (some movie)]

 

 What dey gives you blood?

 Three months man

 Whatchu doin in here anyway?  You oughta be home with your momma

 How old are you boy?

 Thirteen

 Thirteen?  Damn, the bastards must be runnin outta niggaz to arrest

 

 [Intro: Ghostface]

 

 Yeah, ohh yeah, this goes out

 to all the families that went through the struggle

 Yeah, from the heart

 It was from the heart, everything was real

 

 [Mary J.]

 All that I got is you

 And I'm so thankful I made it through

 

 [Verse One:]

 

 Yo, dwellin in the past, flashbacks when I was young

 Whoever thought that I'd have a baby girl and three sons

 I'm goin through this difficult stage I find it hard to believe

 Why my old Earth had so many seeds

 But she's an old woman, and due to me I respect that

 I saw life for what it's really worth and took a step back

 Family ain't family no more, we used to play ball

 Eggs after school, eat grits cause we was poor

 Grab the pliers for the channel, fix the hanger on the TV

 Rockin each others pants to school wasn't easy

 We survived winters, snotty nosed with no coats

 We kept it real, but the older brother still had jokes

 Sadly, daddy left me at the age of six

 I didn't know nuttin but mommy neatly packed his shit

 She cried, and grandma held the family down

 I guess mommy wasn't strong enough, she just went down

 Check it, fifteen of us in a three bedroom apartment

 Roaches everywhere, cousins and aunts was there

 Four in the bed, two at the foot, two at the head

 I didn't like to sleep with Jon-Jon he peed the bed

 Seven o'clock, pluckin roaches out the cereal box 

 Some shared the same spoon, watchin saturday cartoons

 Sugar water was our thing, every meal was no thrill

 In the summer, free lunch held us down like steel

 And there was days I had to go to Tex house with a note

 Stating "Gloria can I borrow some food I'm dead broke"

 So embarrasin I couldn't stand to knock on they door

 My friends might be laughin, I spent stamps in stores

 Mommy where's the toilet paper, use the newspaper

 Look Ms. Rose gave us a couch, she's the neighbor

 Things was deep, my whole youth was sharper than cleats

 Two brothers with muscular dystrophy, it killed me

 But I remember this, mom's would lick her finger tips

 To wipe the cold out my eye before school wit her spit

 Case worker had her runnin back to face to face

 I caught a case, housin tried to throw us out of our place

 Sometimes I look up at the stars and analyze the sky

 And ask myself was I meant to be here... why?

 Yeah, yo

 

 [Chorus: Mary J. Blige]

 

 All that I got is you

 And I'm so thankful I made it through

 [repeat 4X]

 

 Word up mommy, I love you

 Word up

 It was all you, word, you brought me in like this

 

 [Verse Two: Mary J. Blige, Poppa Wu]

 

 I sit and think about

 All the times we did without, yeah

 I always said I woudn't cry

 When I saw tears in your eyes

 I understand that daddy's not here now

 But some way or somehow, I will always be around, yeah

 All things that I did from this to them

 Oh from drugs to being there

 Being down and out and I love you always

 

 Yeah, you say

 You see the universe, which consists of the sun moon and star

 And them planets, that exist in my space

 Like man woman and child

 You understand?

 We got to keep it real, and what reality and reality will keep it real with
us

 I remember them good ol days

 Because see, that's the child I was

 What made me the man I am today

 See cause if you forget where you come from, heheh

 You're never gonna make it where you're goin, aheh

 Because you lost the reality of yourself

 So take one stroll through your mind

 And see what you will find

 And you'll see a whole universe all over again

 and again and again and again and again

 Heheheh, yeah heheheheh ahaheheheh
