All I Got Is You Pt. 2
Raekwon Lyrics

Straight up, c'mon Bub, I need you man
Let's talk honestly and openly, I need your support, my friend.

Yo, Straight up y'all
Listen closely, everyone.

Yo Ghost I love you man
I care about you and appreciate our friendship.

You know how we do this right here
We have a special way of doing things as a family.

We do this for our family
Our actions and words are directed towards the betterment of our family.

See you soon kid
I'll see you soon, my young friend.

The greatest thing a kid could have
The best thing a child could ask for.

To chill with his family, sit back layin on his Dad
To relax and spend time with loved ones, especially a father figure.

Props go out, next thing you know Pops roll out
After receiving praise, the father figure leaves suddenly.

Moms cussed him out, get the fuck out
The mother is angry and curses at the father to leave.

Couldn't understand it, feelings turnin to hard granite
The child is confused and their emotions become hardened like stone.

Now she a one single parent
Now the mother is solely responsible for raising the child.

Growin up on welfare, she might need healthcare
The family struggles financially and may not have access to adequate healthcare.

That made me feel no one else cares
The child feels abandoned and believes no one else cares about their struggles.

Moms is a part of my life forever
The mother is an important and permanent part of the child's life.

Gettin drunk that's her business guess that's stormy weather
The mother's alcoholism is her personal issue and the child compares it to a stormy situation.

Fish and grits, twelve o' clock midnight pissed
A meal of fish and grits is eaten at midnight and the mother is likely intoxicated.

Stop cryin Ma take a kiss
The child tries to comfort the mother with a kiss and stop her from crying.

Take care of ya brother and sis
The child is reminded to take care of their siblings.

Something happen to me I miss ya better be office (official)
If something were to happen to the child, they want their mother to be notified officially.

She meant that shit, every mouthful accurate
The mother truly intends to take care of the child and her words are sincere.

Took me to school be emasculate
The mother taught the child to be strong and unafraid to express emotions.

Taught by the best, remember stress
The child was taught well by their mother despite the stresses of their situation.

A ghetto agenda that's how we rest
The family's way of life is influenced by their living situation in the ghetto.

Don't let 'em play with your emotions
Don't allow others to manipulate or exploit your feelings.

Lotioning me, little money in my vest
The mother cares for and supports the child, despite their financial struggles.

Damn, Mom going through it
The mother is experiencing hardship.

Still holding me through it
The mother continues to provide support and comfort.

Sneaker money fucked up
There isn't enough money to afford new sneakers.

Yo, Yeah when Granddaddy died
The grandfather's death affected the family greatly.

I know you didn't see me cry
The child didn't want their mother to see them cry over the grandfather's death.

Held it in, it hurted Ma a lot
The child held in their emotions and the mother was hurt by it.

Remember, Bucs had me in a tux
The child remembers dressing up for a formal event with their family.

Went to beef stake Charlie's had my first pay cut
The child had their first paycheck at a restaurant called Beef Steak Charlie's.

Yeah, lovin you always screamin on janitors in hallways
The child will always love their mother, even though she got angry and yelled at janitors in the hallways.

It's my son always
The child will always be the mother's son.

Caught me in the crib yo, smokin
The mother walked in on the child smoking in their room.

Sat me down heart broken, hopin the phase had me open yo
The mother was disappointed and saddened and hoped the child would stop smoking.

You like, hey yo, for real you like lovin you for life it's only right
The mother wants the child to know they will always love them and it's the right thing to do.

Strong yourself we make it
Be strong and we'll get through it together.

Weak minded you naked
If you're weak, you're vulnerable and exposed.

The pain and hurt i can't take it
The emotional pain is too much to handle.

Plus my Uncle in jail
The uncle is in prison.

That's your brother go see him, he look forward to it like mail
The mother instructs the child to visit their uncle, who eagerly awaits their letters.

You my ace, you the lady in the place
You're my close friend and the most important woman in my life.

You ain't a waste, we just trapped inside a low-life place
You're not worthless, it's just that we're stuck living in a poor area.

Trust me I'm gonna work hard
Believe me, I'll work hard to make our situation better.

Tatto my body, throw it on top where i got scars
I want to get a tattoo of something meaningful, on top of my scars.

See it son, start cryin
You'll be moved to tears if you witness it, my son.
