<i>[Intro One: The Education of Sonny Carson]</i><br>
What dey gives you blood?<br>
Three months man<br>
Whatchu doin in here anyway? You oughta be home with your momma<br>
How old are you boy?<br>
Thirteen<br>
Thirteen? Damn, the bastards must be runnin outta niggaz to arrest<br>
<br>
<i>[Intro: Ghostface]</i><br>
Yeah, ohh yeah, this goes out<br>
to all the families that went through the struggle<br>
Yeah, from the heart<br>
It was from the heart, everything was real<br>
<br>
<i>[Mary J.]</i> All that I got is you<br>
And I'm so thankful I made it through<br>
<br>
<i>[Ghostface Killah]</i><br>
Yo, dwellin in the past, flashbacks when I was young<br>
Whoever thought that I'd have a baby girl and three sons<br>
I'm goin through this difficult stage I find it hard to believe<br>
Why my old Earth had so many seeds<br>
But she's an old woman, and due to me I respect that<br>
I saw life for what it's really worth and took a step back<br>
Family ain't family no more, we used to play ball<br>
Eggs after school, eat grits cause we was poor<br>
Grab the pliers for the channel, fix the hanger on the TV<br>
Rockin each others pants to school wasn't easy<br>
We survived winters, snotty nosed with no coats<br>
We kept it real, but the older brother still had jokes<br>
Sadly, daddy left me at the age of six<br>
I didn't know nuttin but mommy neatly packed his shit<br>
She cried, and grandma held the family down<br>
I guess mommy wasn't strong enough, she just went down<br>
Check it, fifteen of us in a three bedroom apartment<br>
Roaches everywhere, cousins and aunts was there<br>
Four in the bed, two at the foot, two at the head<br>
I didn't like to sleep with Jon-Jon he peed the bed<br>
Seven o'clock, pluckin roaches out the cereal box <br>
Some shared the same spoon, watchin saturday cartoons<br>
Sugar water was our thing, every meal was no thrill<br>
In the summer, free lunch held us down like steel<br>
And there was days I had to go to Tex house with a note<br>
Stating "Gloria can I borrow some food I'm dead broke"<br>
So embarrasin I couldn't stand to knock on they door<br>
My friends might be laughin, I spent stamps in stores<br>
Mommy where's the toilet paper, use the newspaper<br>
Look Ms. Rose gave us a couch, she's the neighbor<br>
Things was deep, my whole youth was sharper than cleats<br>
Two brothers with muscular dystrophy, it killed me<br>
But I remember this, mom's would lick her finger tips<br>
To wipe the cold out my eye before school wit her spit<br>
Case worker had her runnin back to face to face<br>
I caught a case, housin tried to throw us out of our place<br>
Sometimes I look up at the stars and analyze the sky<br>
And ask myself was I meant to be here... why?<br>
Yeah, yo<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]</i><br>
All that I got is you<br>
And I'm so thankful I made it through<br>
<i>[repeat 4X]</i><br>
<br>
Word up mommy, I love you<br>
Word up<br>
It was all you, word, you brought me in like this<br>
<br>
<i>[Mary J. Blige]</i><br>
I sit and think about<br>
All the times we did without, yeah<br>
I always said I woudn't cry<br>
When I saw tears in your eyes<br>
I understand that daddy's not here now<br>
But some way or somehow, I will always be around, yeah<br>
All things that I did from this to them<br>
Oh from drugs to being there<br>
Being down and out and I love you always<br>
<br>
<i>[Poppa Wu]</i><br>
Yeah, you say<br>
You see the universe, which consists of the sun moon and star<br>
And them planets, that exist in my space<br>
Like man woman and child<br>
You understand?<br>
We got to keep it real, and what reality<br>
and reality will keep it real with us<br>
I remember them good ol days<br>
Because see, that's the child I was<br>
What made me the man I am today<br>
See cause if you forget where you come from, heheh<br>
You're never gonna make it where you're goin, aheh<br>
Because you lost the reality of yourself<br>
So take one stroll through your mind<br>
And see what you will find<br>
And you'll see a whole universe all over again<br>
and again and again and again and again<br>
Heheheh, yeah heheheheh ahaheheheh<br>
<BR><BR>
