Mary J. Blige - All That I Got is You lyrics
rate me(with Ghostface Killah)<br />
<br />
Intro:<br />
Yeah, ohh yeah, this one goes out,<br />
to all the families that went through the struggle,<br />
yeah, from the heart, it was from the heart, everything was real<br />
<br />
yo, dwelling in the past, flash back when I was young<br />
who ever thought that I would have a beby girl and 3 sons<br />
I'm going through this difficult stage I find it hard<br />
to believe why my old earth had so many seeds<br />
but she's an old woman and do to me I respect that<br />
I saw life for what its really worth and took a step back<br />
family ain't family no more, we used to play ball<br />
eggs after school, eat gritz cause we were poor<br />
grab the plyers for the channel, fix the hanger on the T.V.<br />
rockin each others pants to school wasn't easy<br />
we survived winters snauty nose with no coats<br />
we kept it real but the older brother still had a joke<br />
sadly daddy left me at the age of six<br />
I didn't know nutin' 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 straight down<br />
check it, 15 of us in a three bedroom apartment<br />
roaches everywhere causons and aunts were there.<br />
4 in the bed, 2 at the foot, 2 at the head<br />
I didn't like to sleep with Jon-Jon, he peed the bed<br />
pluckin roaches out the cereal box<br />
we shared the epoon, watchin saturday cartoons<br />
sugar water was our thing, everymeal was no thrill<br />
in the summer school lunch held us down like steel<br />
and there was days I had to go to Shea's house with a note<br />
&quot;Shea and Gloria can I borrow some food I'm dead broke&quot;<br />
so embarrasin I couldn't stand to knock on the 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 bought us a couch, shes the neighbor<br />
2 brothers who must led this defeat kiiled me<br />
but I remember this mom's would lick her finger tips<br />
to wipe the cold out of my eye before school wit her spit<br />
case worker had her runnin back for face to face<br />
I caught a case worker, trying to throw us out our place.<br />
sometimes I'm lookin back and analyze the sky,<br />
goodnight<br />
<br />
outro<br />
sometime I'm lookin back and analyze the sky<br />
let myself rock wasn't meant to be so hard<br />
<br />
Mary J. Blige: (Chorus)<br />
All that I got is you<br />
And I'm so thankful I made it through<br />
(3x)<br />
<br />
I sit and think about all the times we did without rain<br />
I always said I wouldn't cry, when I saw tears in your eyes<br />
I understand that daddy's not here know,<br />
but some way or some how, I will always be around<br />
All the things that I did from yesterday<br />
oh from drugs to being bad<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><br /><br />
