    All that I got is you (It was all you, word)
    And I'm so thankful I made it through (You brought me in like this)
    Yeah

      It wasn't really painful. We was too young to know how hard we had it. Not til you grow up and reflect that it hits you and you reminisce. I wouldn't have it other way though. Tough beginnings give you empathy for people in the struggle. That's why I'm a 42 year old white man who don't have a racist bone in my body. In fact it gave me so much love for the black community. Even after finding out we got robbed on Xmas morning. I remember just feeling so bad for my mother. But even after that, moms still managed to find away. RIP Mommy

    Probably my favourite Ghostface song.. theres so much heart and soul on one extended verse, backed up by the hook and beautiful voice of Mary J. Blige, just makes it sound so angelic. Theres almost a pain in his voice, writing and thinking and looking on back where he came from and how far he’s come and what he struggled with just trying to survive. Taking care of his mom and brothers. I really respect Ghost for what hea accomplished and how he had to grow up and raise his brothers. As ruthless as it might sound, not alot of people know what its like to have to wake up, dress your brothers, undress them at night, pick them up off there wheelchairs, help them use the bathroom, wipe there asses, pull there pants back up, pick them up again put them back in there chairs, feed them and help them eat, shower and bathe them, all st the same time of having to deal with your own shit growing up in the projects as a kid, teenager and young adult.

    The part i remember is my mom every month saying we made it another month on little to nothing. She was humble and always thankful God let us make thru . Can't not listen to this song and not tear up. 😢

    Literally accurate to my story growin up in Dayton, Ohio. I know we all have our own stories but this track always hit home. Lyrical geniuses. The best beats ever made. Wutang forever. Thanks Wutang for your music and giving us a peak into the lives you lived that helped so many through very hard times. Literally no artists ever can recreate the unique quality of your sound. This is why Wutang can't be fkd with

    This just hit different especially, when you have experienced it 😔😢. It was hard for me raising my two. I worn tore up shoes, not enough food for me 2 eat only enough for my kids. I went without but I made sure they didn't. Ppl always acknowledge my kids and all the time how they was raised, they're 19 and 16½ now doing SUPERB. It's the true meaning how I appreciate how the cards was dealt to me in life and appreciating what I had, even though it was only enough to get by. That's why I enjoy helping other children.

      Although I get the metaphor. But to not cry wouldn't signify one is not real. But I get it

      I grew up poor as fuck. Ghost is my favorite rapper of all the. The Shawn Michael's of this rap shit.
      My mother and sister hate rap but they absolutely love this song.
      I hope one day I can meet Ghost.

      Yes he is. But this wasn't a story. This was reality for people living in impoverished areas in the 80s. Still happens today no doubt but don't know if the youngens are still drinking sugar water
