[Verse 1] Ayo this is how I met Hip Hop My brother Trey had a cd and it was 2Pac And I still remember the first song I heard, it was Troublesome Off his Greatest Hits which is troublesome Cause that means he was already gone By the time I heard one of his songs And back in junior high we was barely getting by Trey started rapping round the same time he was getting high Meanwhile I never thought about doing it Until I heard his music, it gave me a motive and influence That I could spit that fluid if I put my mind to it So I'm back on the grind I ain't going no where I done made up my mind I get up, I get out while you sit on the couch I got a dollar and dream man that's all I think about So tell me can you hang cause I done gone and came To the ends of the earth and I found out one thing [Hook] I don't need money, I don't need cars I don't need my name written up in the stars All I need is you, All I need is you All I need is you and only you I don't processions that weren't there to start All I really need is you in my heart All I need is you, All I need is you All I need is you, baby all I'll ever need is you [Verse 2] Uh So now I'm in the tenth grade That's when I changed schools and rode the bus everyday I would sit in the back pull out my ca**ette tape and relax To Ridin' Dirty as it took thirty minutes to get back
I spent nine dollars, that was my first mic And for the new school they be like They don't have a story well let me introduce you me If I don't make it then it wasn't meant to be But I still couldn't see me doing anything else Hell for five years I was flowing all by myself Plus I had to go back to the beginning of rap On my own though I'm grown I was too young for that And indeed I even tried to leave this alone But I keep going back, put my headphones on And for the first time I finally belong And in the back of my head I guess I've always known [Hook] [Verse 3] You see I've been there, done that All I need is one mic to run rap and then I'm out Now you know what I'm about cause I tell you how I feel And I need a record deal to display my sk**s While you're riding behind the wheels listening to this I think about my life and it makes me reminisce How I got here and where I came from The bottom of the map, representing since day one [Hook] I don't need money, I don't need cars I don't need my name written up in the stars All I need is you, All I need is you All I need is you and only you I don't processions that weren't there to start All I really need is you in my heart All I need is you, All I need is you All I need is you, baby all I'll ever need is you Baby all I'll ever need is you
