There's only 2 things in this world I love more than getting a check
Take a wild guess, I'll give you a hint, it isn't sex
I mean that's close though, but it's not to be confused with
All I need is my lovely family and all my music
Left by a list of girlfriends and best friends
Because of this at my wedding, music will be my best man
Til' bout a year ago I used to be mistake prone
Training wheels off, now I get my skate on
And every time I fell, guess who was there to picked me up
Music, and my mama put peroxide on the cut
For real though, so when I finally get a deal bro, I'ma take them with me cause
All I need is my family, they understand me
The only ones really know who I am
All I need is my music, to get through it
My iPod, notebook, & a pen
All I need is my family, they understand me
The only ones really know who I am
All I need is my music, to get through it
My iPod, notebook, & a pen
Yeah!
They say this generation lost family orientation
Maybe that was our cost of lowering segregation
I see it both ways, my family never discriminated
Plus we stick together, negativity we eliminated
And music touched my soul, that's where my heart goes
You want to trust your own guys, but who really knows
They hating, saying I'm fake for being versatile
Like I'll never get no deal
When will they learn, my real is different than yo' real
I'ma be the center of attention like O'Neal
And that's so real
Sometimes it don't work when I try to stay glad
But no matter how mad
All I need is my family, they understand me
The only ones really know who I am
All I need is my music, to get through it
My iPod, notebook, & a pen
All I need is my family, they understand me
The only ones really know who I am
All I need is my music, to get through it
My iPod, notebook, & a pen
Yeah!
Oh, oh, oh, ooooh, yeah (Ooh la la x4)
Oh, oh, oh, ooooh, yeah (Ooh la la x4)
I lost so many friends, due to lack of maturity
So many it got me thinking, damn is it me
But realistically, logistically I know it's not
So make room up at the top, yeah I'm coming for that spot
My family ain't got a lot (Pause), and I might just be the last hope
But that's no reason to mope, that's why we all close
So I respectfully ask that you don't knock my hustle
Got a lot of weight on my back, hope I don't pull a muscle
Even the deaf can jam to my music, like I was Russell
Think of the feeling of having to smile while you struggle
But through my pain, I love who I became
My family & the music is to blame
All I need is my family, they understand me
The only ones really know who I am
All I need is my music, to get through it
My iPod, notebook, & a pen
All I need is my family, they understand me
The only ones really know who I am
All I need is my music, to get through it
My iPod, notebook, & a pen
Yeah!
All I need is my family, they understand me
The only ones really know who I am
All I need is my music, to get through it
My iPod, notebook, & a pen
Yeah!
