All That I Am

All that I am all that I know

All that I ever will be and though

All that I am all that I know

All that I ever will be and though

Out of the mouth of a black man scorned

I see you laughing with swollen eyes

Life beat a mother when you're

Playing the losing side dream deferred

Vision's blurred a hustle served

And anyone who would listen

Respect is earned a lesson's learned

How many sleepless night's have you

How many?

How many shift the state have you watched

It turn it to fade away

While you use all tricks to backtrack

Try to be right and exact

But lack of paper will make a nigga act

Like a nigga, forget that he black

Moms is working two jobs

Pops is worshiping two gods

Yo, hard times at the bar downtown

Wondering what's on God's mind

All that I am all that I know

All that I ever will be and though

All that I am all that I know

All that I ever will be and though

Truth is born

From the soul of a black man sworn

To barren streets from the east

Souls get raised diamonds reflect

Pimped out days where my uncle

Lays his game down

He's in the galaxy of game

And never came down he's from the same town

I mean planet as them, ya know

Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim

Had a precious old angel

Sharpest in the stable

Blond wig, with a pierced naval

He branded her his angel in disguise

Eating his pockets and feeding him lies

After a few broken arms and black guys

She wrote a book to make his favor rise

Then sold to a system where

He'll never breathe again

Down to Earth just to leave again

All that I am all that I know

All that I ever will be and though

All that I am all that I know

All that I ever will be and though

All that I am all that I know

All that I ever will be and though

All that I am all that I know

All that I ever will be and though something

Pointing to there

Bring your light to the truth

Then make it realer for you

We're bringing light to the truth

Realer for you

We're bringing light to the truth

Make it realer for you

We're bringing light to the truth

Realer for you

We're bringing light to the truth

Light to the truth realer for you

Light to the truth realer for you

All that I am
