All That I Got Is You

(Intro)

Yeah, ohh yeah, this one goes out, to all the families

that went

through the struggle, yeah, from the heart,

it was from the heart, everything was real

(verse 1)

yo, dwelling in the past, flash back when I was young

who ever thought that I would have a beby girl and 3

sons

I'm going 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 do to me I respect that

I saw life for what its really worth and took a step

back

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

eggs after school, eat gritz cause we were poop

grab the plirs for the channel, fix the hanger on the

T.V.

rockin each others pants to school wasn't easy

we survived winters snauty nose with no coats

we kept it real but the older brother still had a joke

sadly daddy left me at the age of six

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

she cried, and grandma held the family down

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

straight down

check it, 15 of us in a three bedroom apartment

roaches everywhere causons and aunts were there.

4 in the bed, 2 at the foot, I didn't like to sleep with jon-jon he peed the bed

pluckin roaches out the cereal box

we shared the epoon, watchin saturday cartoons

sugar water was our thing, everymeal was no thrill

in the summer one lunch held us down like steel

and there was days I had to go to shea's house with a

note

"shea and gloria can I borrow some food I'm dead broke"

so embarrasin I couldn't stand to knock on the door

my friends might be laughin, I spent stamps in stores

mommy wheres the toilet paper, use the newspaper

look ms. Rose bought us a coach, shes the neighbor

2 brothers who must led this defeat kiiled me

but I remember this mom's would lick her finger tips

to wipe the cold out of my eye before school wit her

spit

case worker had her runnin back for face to face

I caught a case worker, trying to throw us out our

place.

sometimes I'm lookin back and analyze the sky,goodnight

sometime I'm lookin back and analyze the sky

let myself rock wasn't meant to be so hard

(mary j)

All that I got is you

chorus And I'm so thankful I made it through (3x)

I can't think, about all the times we did without rain

I always said I woudn't cry, when I saw tears in your

eyes

I understand that daddies not here know,

but some way some how, I will always be around

All things that I did from yesterday

oh from drunk to being there

being down and out and I love you always.
