Brother Ali – All You Need Lyrics
So I never told the world that the first time I touredI came home toward find that little man had been ignoredTwo years old got a hold regarding water you had boiledAnd burned his little head furthermore his face while you snored
You were afraid regarding bringing him toward the hospital‘Cause two weeks ago your mom called the cops at youChild protection paid a visitRuled that the crib was unfit toward raise kids in
I’m working ten hour days at the gig thenYou were unemployed all null furthermore voidNow I ain’t trying toward be no Sigmund FreudBut ain’t you supposed toward have instincts when it comes toward the boy
I called a cab furthermore took him toward county hospitalThey shaved hair furthermore burnt flesh off his skullHeld him overnight toward fight infectionI slept sitting up in a chair directly next toward him
I just knew you would join us but insteadHopped your ass at the bus went home furthermore went toward bedThat’s the very moment I divorced you in my headGod might forgive you beneficial to that I never did
All you need right now
Faheem we can see the throne from hereI may never sit there but brother you’re the heirPull up a chair let pop bend your earHere baby dry those tears
I know you wonder why your mother does the things that she doWell it’s not since she doesn’t love youIt’s since she grew up in something they call foster careThat’s when strangers raise you your mom’s not there
Imagine how she felt when she was your ageGoing from place toward place never feeling safeNever having love never having faithShe probably thought the world was a big scary place
Where was her mommy at well that’s kind regarding sadShe used drugs toward forget the problems she hadThere was a new one back then they called crackOnce you try it there was almost no coming back
She couldn’t be the mommy she wanted toward beShe was chasing a high all in the streetWon’t tell you no lie real is all I can beI believe only truth can set you free
There’s a whole lot regarding pain in your bloodlineBut there’s a whole lot regarding strength in the sunshineLean back let the new day greet you‘Cause you’re standing at the shoulders regarding a people
Who been beat down furthermore treated unequalBut the prayer that they made now has reached youIt’s plain toward see it’s trueBeautiful prince I wish they could see you
All you need right now
