All You Need - Brother Ali[00:00:00]

So I never told the world that the first time I toured[00:00:21]

I came home to find that little man had been ignored[00:00:24]

Two years old got a hold of water you had boiled[00:00:27]

And burned his little head and his face while you snored[00:00:29]

You were afraid of bringing him to the hospital[00:00:32]

'Cause two weeks ago your mom called the cops on you[00:00:35]

Child protection paid a visit[00:00:38]

Ruled that the crib was unfit to raise kids in[00:00:40]

I'm working ten hour days at the gig then[00:00:43]

You were unemployed all null and void[00:00:46]

Now I ain't trying to be no Sigmund Freud[00:00:48]

But ain't you supposed to have instincts when it comes to the boy[00:00:51]

I called a cab and took him to county hospital[00:00:54]

They shaved hair and burnt flesh off his skull[00:00:57]

Held him overnight to fight infection[00:00:59]

I slept sitting up in a chair directly next to him[00:01:02]

I just knew you would join us but instead[00:01:05]

Hopped your a** on the bus went home and went to bed[00:01:07]

That's the very moment I divorced you in my head[00:01:10]

God might forgive you for that I never did[00:01:13]

All you need right now[00:01:18]

Faheem we can see the throne from here[00:01:26]

I may never sit there but brother you're the heir[00:01:29]

Pull up a chair let pop bend your ear[00:01:31]

Here baby dry those tears[00:01:34]

I know you wonder why your mother does the things that she do[00:01:37]

Well it's not because she doesn't love you[00:01:39]

It's because she grew up in something they call foster care[00:01:42]

That's when strangers raise you your mom's not there[00:01:45]

Imagine how she felt when she was your age[00:01:48]

Going from place to place never feeling safe[00:01:50]

Never having love never having faith[00:01:53]

She probably thought the world was a big scary place[00:01:55]

Where was her mommy at well that's kind of sad[00:01:58]

She used drugs to forget the problems she had[00:02:01]

There was a new one back then they called crack[00:02:04]

Once you try it there was almost no coming back[00:02:06]

She couldn't be the mommy she wanted to be[00:02:10]

She was chasing a high all in the street[00:02:12]

Won't tell you no lie real is all I can be[00:02:15]

I believe only truth can set you free[00:02:18]

There's a whole lot of pain in your bloodline[00:02:20]

But there's a whole lot of strength in the sunshine[00:02:23]

Lean back let the new day greet you[00:02:26]

'Cause you're standing on the shoulders of a people[00:02:28]

Who been beat down and treated unequal[00:02:31]

But the prayer that they made now has reached you[00:02:34]

It's plain to see it's true[00:02:38]

Beautiful prince I wish they could see you[00:02:40]

All you need right now[00:02:45]

All you need right now[00:03:06]
