(专辑: GhostDeini The Great - 2008)
[Intro One: The
Education of Sonny Carson] 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 [Ghostface Killah] 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 [Mary J. Blige] 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 [Poppa Wu] 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
