Yeah, yo Chorus: mary j. blige All that I got is you And I'm so thankful I made it through (repeat 4x) Word up mommy, I love you Word up It was all you, word, you brought me in like this Verse two: mary j. blige, poppa wu I sit and think about All the times we did without, yeah I always said I woudnt cry When I saw tears in your eyes I understand that daddys not here now But some way or somehow, I will always be around, yeah All things that I did from this to them Oh from drugs to being there Being down and out and I love you always Yeah, you say You see the universe, which consists of the sun moon and star And them planets, that exist in my space Like man woman and child You understand? We got to keep it real, and what reality and reality will keep it real with us I remember them good ol days Because see, thats the child I was What made me the man I am today See cause if you forget where you come from, heheh You're never gonna make it where you're goin, aheh Because you lost the reality of yourself So take one stroll through your mind And see what you will find And youll see a whole universe all over again And again and again and again and again Heheheh, yeah heheheheh ahaheheheh
