We all we got, we all we need. (Brother's Keeper Version)

I dedicate this to the dam that holds the flow in place The one who never gave me up or Thew it in my face The one who always gave a damn when most just turned away And just to help me get ahead he learned better way The one I kept letting down when I was messing up And when life knocked me on my butt he would lift me up My little brother correction my younger sibling Advisor my best friend the only reason I'm living They call him Scar Scarboro me I call him Steven My mother named him I was five when he started breathing From the beginning I remember mama singing to him sleeping in his crib while I was Sitting in the corner grinning The new edition would turn out to be the best rendition The best description of a son mother's can envision And as a brother He's everything that I strive to be And all the matters is him and the family you see Family first We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need Let's just say growing up for the both of us was different Different eras and periods would dictate our visions But we both shared the same bond that would only strengthen Throughout the good and the ugly the days we felt forsaken Days when Christmas trees would avalanche with Santa's gifts To no trees a couple of bags hug and a kiss That would later Include tears as we mourned our mother Eventually we'd go back to a tree we had each other And even through my darkest days he's been my shining light when I'm thinking a verse is tight he'll say it sounds alright But you can do it better focus go and get it right That's not only up in the lab that's his view on life So I strive in and out of the booth to living right I may stumble along the way but I stay in the light Back on my feet as long as my brother has my six Mom G smiling over us laughing blowing a kiss We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need I am my brothers keeper I used to watch him sleep Keeping him safe as a kid I taught him to Bob and weave We used to box he would stand on the bed to match my height We had a set of gloves we split pick left or right No matter how hard he got hit he never cried or told Him and Javi his best friend stayed in figure fours But they never would quit and always looked to even score To this day we can reminisce and laugh till we get sore But there is a part of me that always hurts a little more The shit I put him through pushing his back against the wall And even when the easiest thing was to walk away He would never abandon ship he always rode the wave He always chose to stay My love for him is eternal He's bound for heaven in case I get sent to the inferno I'll fight my way out of hell and climb every cloud to Heaven Break down the gates to just to find him to have another session Family first We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need We all we got we all we need
