All That I Got Is You (Remix)

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige & Ghostface Killah] All that I got is you And I'm so thankful I made it through All that I got is you And I'm so thankful I made it through All that I got is you (Yeah, from the heart It was all from the heart, everything was real) And I'm so thankful I made it through [Verse 1: 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 her own 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 frill In the summer, free lunch held us down like steel And there were days I had to go to Tech's 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, moms would lick her finger tips To wipe the cold out my eye before school with her spit Caseworker 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 & Ghostface Killah] All that I got is you And I'm so thankful I made it through All that I got is you And I'm so thankful I made it through All that I got is you (Word up mommy, I love you) And I'm so thankful I made it through (Word up) All that I got is you (It was all you, word) And I'm so thankful I made it through (You brought me in like this) Yeah [Verse 2: Mary J. Blige] I sit and think about All the times we did without dad I always said I wouldn'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 the things that I did from this to then Oh from drugs to being there Being down and out and I love you always, oh [Outro: Popa Wu] Yeah, you say You see the universe—
