All That I Need
Wretch 32 Lyrics

It's crazy, Cah I remember when I never felt like this
I find it difficult to believe how different things are now compared to before.

It was only the other day I was 'Lying Next to You'
Recently, we spent intimate moments together in bed.

I remember I done ish, you forgave me
I made a mistake and you chose to forgive me instead of holding a grudge.

Even though I 'Can't Say' (heh)
I cannot express how grateful I am for your forgiveness.

But we both know 'Nothing Lasts Forever'
We both understand that relationships are not permanent and can come to an end.

Cah I am not with you no more
I am no longer in a relationship with you.

You're no good for me, your just bringing me down
Being with you has a negative impact on my well-being.

My son shines in the rain while your giving me clouds
My son brings joy to my life, while being with you brings negativity.

I once cried and complained now I'm kicking out
I used to be upset and frustrated, but now I am leaving the relationship.

Cah I refuse to live in doubt, I don't trust you
I cannot stay in a relationship where I am uncertain and cannot trust my partner.

It's weird 'cause I love you, but fear cannot love
I have conflicting emotions, as I care for you but fear is not a foundation for a healthy relationship.

Who it chooses to scare
Fear can choose to affect anyone in a relationship.

Now I'm stressed out, losing my hair
The anxiety is causing me physical stress and is taking a toll on my body.

What's next I ain't losing the year
I refuse to lose a year to a toxic relationship.

You're supposed to be me crutch
In a supportive relationship, partners are supposed to help each other when the going gets tough.

As of lately you provoked me enough
Recently, your actions have been causing me to feel upset and frustrated.

Especially when I'm closed to being up
Your negative behavior is particularly hurtful when I am close to accomplishing my goals.

I'm finishing my album, your tryna' kick when I'm down
While I am busy completing my creative project, you are only adding to my struggles.

Focusing on other tings, a real women's supposed to be mothering
Instead of supporting me during this time, a woman should be nurturing and caring for her family.

Not like holding a grudge and ting, when I'm in the studio late
Rather than resenting my late nights in the studio, a supportive partner should be understanding and encouraging.

And when I don't come home for a few of the days
When I need to be away for a few days, it shouldn't be a cause for stress or argument.

Out the week, that just means that I'm doing it babe
If I am away for a portion of the week, it is because I am pursuing my passion.

Allowed to speak, of course you are
You have the right to express yourself and communicate with me.

But don't force it cah
However, you should not push your opinions on me or pressure me into anything.

I never liked that you crossed the line
Your behavior or words went beyond what is acceptable or hurtful to me.

You said something that shouldn't even cross your mind
You uttered words that are offensive or disrespectful to me.

And that's a criminal sentence so do the time
Your actions have consequences and you must face the punishment or penalty for them.

Without me, I'm just doing I
I am capable of living my life independently and without needing to be in a relationship.

Allow me I am through that wire
I am pushing through my challenges or obstacles, overcoming them and moving forward.

I'm now free I am moving higher
I have let go of the constraints or burdens of this relationship and am now reaching new heights.

I'm proud to see that your cruising Aiya
I am happy to see that you are doing well.

But I am not beside ya
However, I am not by your side or in a relationship with you anymore.

We got one another one's on the way
We have a child on the way together.

And right now we don't know if that one's gonna stay
However, we are unsure if this pregnancy will carry to term.

Plus I can't look my son in the face, Cah I remember the day
I feel ashamed to face my own son after the day I asked his mother to have an abortion.

That I told his mum chuck him away
I asked her to abort our child, which I now regret.

But she never listened
She chose to have the child despite my wishes.

She gave birth I was there to vision
I was present at the birth of our son.

It's a boy was the words I whispered
I whispered in excitement that we had a baby boy.

And I remember that look on your face
I recall the expression you had during this moment.

When the nurse said push it again
During the delivery, the nurse instructed you to push again.

Your like I can't mommy, I was like your pushing it babe
You expressed difficulty in pushing and I tried to reassure and motivate you.

Your like it's hard bubby, the tears would fall on your face
You were emotional and tearful during the delivery.

I'm like gwan honey
I encouraged you to keep going.

Then I gave you a kiss on your lips
I expressed affection towards you by giving you a kiss.

It's weird that I'm picturing this
It is strange that I am reminiscing about this moment during this difficult time in our relationship.

Cah fastforward as I listen to this (All that I need)
As I listen to this song and reflect, it reminds me how far we have come since that moment.

Piss'd
I am upset or angry.

Listen we learnt a lesson that we'll never dismiss
We have learned a valuable lesson that we will never forget.

Cah I never thought we'll end up like this
I did not envision our relationship coming to this point.

Cah perfect films always end with a kiss
In movies, relationships usually end with a happy ending and an affectionate gesture.

And I swear we're at the end of the script
However, in reality our relationship seems to be coming to a close.

Cah everytime I try read you, I just remember the bitch
Every time I try to understand you, I recall the unpleasant and negative aspects of our relationship.

I try leave you, and then I end up in bits
When I try to end the relationship, I am left feeling emotional and broken.

I don't think this could ever be fixed
I do not believe that our relationship is salvageable and can be repaired.

All That I Need
The only thing I require is my own space and independence.

Is my own space, I've been chilling on my own for days, I say
I have been spending time by myself, which I find to be peaceful and helpful.

All That I Need
The only thing I require is my own space and independence.

Is my own space, I've been chilling on my own for days, I say
I have been spending time by myself, which I find to be peaceful and helpful.

All That I Need
The only thing I require is my own space and independence.

Is my own space, Cah I've been chilling on my own for days, I say
I have been enjoying my alone time and do not want any interference or disruption from anyone.

All That I Need
The only thing I require is my own space and independence.

Is my own space, Cah I've been chilling on my own for days
Being alone is what I need in order to focus on myself and move forward.
