You're all I got, I'm all you need
Why you can al
ways call on me
Even when you're do ing wrong
You never have to fight alone I'll
pick you up when you fall down
You pick it then I'll be around
Whatever the case, baby
Don't hesitate to call
I hear my mama fed up
and tell me to bounce
Still in high school,
sleeping on grandma's couch
Just a crack dealer, young hood,
loving the street I'm on a mission and I will not accept defeat
I'm just another kid lost
with the most potential
The physical is easy,
the challenge is mental
Will you make the right choice
and clean your act up?
Or make them itchy trigger
fingers call for backup?
When you get a second chance,
few will get one
Still, with the love of your people,
adapt, son
You need to be proud of me,
I kept my promise
A mother like
Afeni
Shakur,
Valetta
Wallace
Forever mourning their sons like
Grandma
Greaves for my
Uncle
Doc
It's like nothing else can fill that spot
When I was lost you saved me
And all that real tough love you gave me
I can hear you saying
You're all I got, I'm all you need
Why you can al
ways call on me?
Even when you're do ing wrong
You never have to fight alone
I'll pick you up when you fall down
Through thicker than I'll be around
Whatever the case may be
Don't hesitate to call on
So get on top of my game and have it all
Who would ever think one
day I'd lose it all?
Liquidate cars, auction off my castle
We always stay tight,
now it all unravels
We're warming up and leave me,
my kids in different states
Can't cry tears cause I'm cold
and my heart aches
The world must think I'm at
my lowest point now
Strip me down and show
me who run the joint now
But there you were when
they wanna impale me
Never had a pity though,
never could fail me
You knew I could bring
something back to the table
To see it all blossom like the flowers in
April
So if life is a tug -of -war,
let's keep pullin'
Cause behind every strong man
is a strong woman
When I was that lost, you saved me
And all that real tough love you gave me
I can hear you sayin'
You're all I got, I'm all you need
Why you can al
ways call on me?
Even when you're doin' wrong
You never have to fight alone
I'll pick you up when you fall down
You pick it, then I'll be around
Whatever the case, baby
Don't hesitate to call me
Here's to the next
Betty
Shabazz,
Coretta
Scott
King,
Maya
Angelou
Said she wanna be old,
just like the
Winfrey's, pooches and all
The same way you got my back,
big or small
You know the one they always
said would be there for ya
Jewelry out the pawn shop,
stacked for my lawyer
When I was that lost, you saved me
And all that real tough love you gave me
I can hear you sayin'
You're all I got, I'm all you need
Why you can't al
ways call on me?
Even when you're do ing wrong
You'll never have to fight alone
I'll pick you up when you fall down
You'll pick it then I'll be around
Whatever the case may be
Don't hesitate to call on me
You're all I got, I'm all you need
While you can always call on me
Even when you're do ing wrong
You'll never have to fight alone
I'll pick you up when you fall down
Through thick and thin, I'll be around
Whatever the case may be
Don't hesitate to call
