I swear to tell the truth and nothin but the truth [00:00:03]

So help me GOD[00:00:07]

I just felt like tellin the story of my life[00:00:12]

Felt like maybe somebody could be inspired you know [00:00:15]

We all feel pain we all go through things[00:00:23]

But it's time to overcome all that[00:00:26]

If your plane crashed in the water and everybody died[00:00:29]

Would you drown on purpose or try to survive [00:00:31]

I was born handicapped my arm wouldn't move[00:00:33]

They called me a cripple pops caught an attitude[00:00:36]

Beat my moms smoked lye drove trucks[00:00:39]

My moms had a miscarriage he didn't give a f**k[00:00:41]

He sniffed some coke come home[00:00:44]

Beat up on my moms cause she's talkin on the phone[00:00:46]

Come on[00:00:48]

All I ever wanted[00:00:49]

All I ever wanted[00:00:50]

All I ever needed[00:00:51]

All I ever needed[00:00:53]

Was a father[00:00:54]

Was a father[00:00:55]

That's all[00:00:56]

That's all [00:00:58]

All I ever wanted[00:00:59]

All I ever wanted[00:01:00]

All I ever needed[00:01:01]

All I ever needed was a father[00:01:03]

Was a father[00:01:05]

Moms got tired of the beatings said "Yo we got to go"[00:01:07]

Packed up her bags we bounced out the do'[00:01:10]

She said "I ain't takin these whippin's no mo'[00:01:12]

I wanna live to see my little Todd grow"[00:01:15]

I remember tear drops on my pops face[00:01:17]

Lookin down at me standin on the staircase[00:01:20]

Handsome brother with a smooth goatee[00:01:22]

Makes me wonder why he act so ugly you feelin me [00:01:24]

I'm feelin you[00:01:27]

All I ever wanted[00:01:28]

All I ever wanted[00:01:29]

All I ever needed[00:01:30]

All I ever needed[00:01:32]

Was a father[00:01:33]

Was a father[00:01:34]

That's all[00:01:35]

That's all [00:01:37]

All I ever wanted[00:01:37]

All I ever wanted[00:01:39]

All I ever needed[00:01:40]

All I ever needed was a father[00:01:42]

Was a fathe[00:01:44]

My pops got drunk when me and my moms bounced[00:01:46]

Swigged some Jack Dan' sniffed up a ounce[00:01:49]

Grabbed the shotty left Long Isle for Queens[00:01:51]

Possesed by a demon a devil it seemed[00:01:54]

I was too young to understand the risk[00:01:57]

When your moms come home off the midnight shift[00:01:59]

She turned around heard the shotgun click[00:02:01]

My pops said "You think that you could leave me "[00:02:03]

He blasted my moms in the back[00:02:07]

She fell down screamin I can't forget that[00:02:08]

My grandfather tried to close the do'[00:02:11]

He got shot ten times in the stomach yo for real[00:02:13]

All I ever wanted[00:02:16]

All I ever wanted[00:02:18]

All I ever needed[00:02:19]

All I ever needed[00:02:20]

Was a father[00:02:21]

Was a father[00:02:23]

That's all[00:02:24]

That's all [00:02:25]

All I ever wanted[00:02:26]

All I ever wanted[00:02:27]

All I ever needed[00:02:29]

All I ever needed was a father[00:02:30]

Was a fathe[00:02:33]

My head was spinnin I had never seen blood[00:02:35]

Four years old this don't feel like love[00:02:37]

Anyway pops dissapeared[00:02:40]

Grandpops and moms healed up over the years[00:02:42]

This therapist got up in her head[00:02:45]

Led her to believe without him she'd be dead[00:02:47]

You know they fell in love with one another[00:02:50]

Everything seemed right that's word to mother[00:02:52]

Until I started gettin beatings everday[00:02:55]

Sometimes for going outside to play[00:02:57]

Late at night on my knees I'd pray[00:02:59]

A young child wishin the pain would go away[00:03:02]

Dad where was you when he made me strip[00:03:04]

Beat with belts like a slave with a whip[00:03:07]

Kicked me down steps outside in the snow[00:03:09]

Punched me in the chest stomped me out on the flo'[00:03:11]

That's just the tip of the iceberg look[00:03:14]

It's too long for a song but perfect for a book[00:03:16]

Word is bond that's real baby[00:03:21]

All I ever wanted[00:03:24]

All I ever wanted[00:03:26]

All I ever needed[00:03:27]

All I ever needed[00:03:28]

Was a father[00:03:30]

Was a father[00:03:30]

That's all[00:03:32]

That's all [00:03:33]

All I ever wanted[00:03:34]

All I ever wanted[00:03:36]

All I ever needed[00:03:37]

All I ever needed was a father[00:03:38]

Was a fathe[00:03:39]
