7
Yeah, ohh yeah, this goes out
8
to all the families that went through the struggle
9
Yeah, from the heart
10
It was from the heart, everything was real
11
All that I got is you
12
And I'm so thankful I made it through
13
Yo, dwellin in the past, flashbacks when I was young
14
Whoever thought that I'd have a baby girl and three sons
15
I'm goin through this difficult stage I find it hard to believe
16
Why my old Earth had so many seeds
17
But she's an old woman, and due to me I respect that
18
I saw life for what it's really worth and took a step back
19
Family ain't family no more, we used to play ball
20
Eggs after school, eat grits cause we was poor
21
Grab the pliers for the channel, fix the hanger on the TV
22
Rockin each others pants to school wasn't easy
23
We survived winters, snotty nosed with no coats
24
We kept it real, but the older brother still had jokes
25
Sadly, daddy left me at the age of six
26
I didn't know nuttin but mommy neatly packed his shit
27
She cried, and grandma held the family down
28
I guess mommy wasn't strong enough, she just went down
29
Check it, fifteen of us in a three bedroom apartment
30
Roaches everywhere, cousins and aunts was there
31
Four in the bed, two at the foot, two at the head
32
I didn't like to sleep with Jon-Jon he peed the bed
33
Seven o'clock, pluckin roaches out the cereal box
34
Some shared the same spoon, watchin saturday cartoons
35
Sugar water was our thing, every meal was no thrill
36
In the summer, free lunch held us down like steel
37
And there was days I had to go to Tex house with a note
38
Stating "Gloria can I borrow some food I'm dead broke"
39
So embarrasin I couldn't stand to knock on they door
40
My friends might be laughin, I spent stamps in stores
41
Mommy where's the toilet paper, use the newspaper
42
Look Ms. Rose gave us a couch, she's the neighbor
43
Things was deep, my whole youth was sharper than cleats
44
Two brothers with muscular dystrophy, it killed me
45
But I remember this, mom's would lick her finger tips
46
To wipe the cold out my eye before school wit her spit
47
Case worker had her runnin back to face to face
48
I caught a case, housin tried to throw us out of our place
49
Sometimes I look up at the stars and analyze the sky
50
And ask myself was I meant to be here... why?
51
Yeah, yo
52
All that I got is you
53
And I'm so thankful I made it through
54
All that I got is you
55
And I'm so thankful I made it through
56
All that I got is you
57
And I'm so thankful I made it through
58
All that I got is you
59
And I'm so thankful I made it through
60
Word up mommy, I love you
61
Word up
62
It was all you, word, you brought me in like this
63
I sit and think about
64
All the times we did without, yeah
65
I always said I woudn't cry
66
When I saw tears in your eyes
67
I understand that daddy's not here now
68
But some way or somehow, I will always be around, yeah
69
All things that I did from this to them
70
Oh from drugs to being there
71
Being down and out and I love you always
72
Yeah, you say
73
You see the universe, which consists of the sun moon and star
74
And them planets, that exist in my space
75
Like man woman and child
76
You understand?
77
We got to keep it real, and what reality and reality will keep it real with us
78
I remember them good ol days
79
Because see, that's the child I was
80
What made me the man I am today
81
See cause if you forget where you come from, heheh
82
You're never gonna make it where you're goin, aheh
83
Because you lost the reality of yourself
84
So take one stroll through your mind
85
And see what you will find
86
And you'll see a whole universe all over again
87
and again and again and again and again
88
Heheheh, yeah heheheheh ahaheheheh
