All For You Lyrics - Little Brother

Uh, Deah Pops 

It's your boy 

I got some things I want to say to you, man 

Just a couple of words 

Bear with me 

Gimme a minute 

Time to face it 

Sitting in the middle of the basement 

Holding a jack 

How I'm anticipating he 'gon call me back 

Got so much on my mind 

Ain't no holding it back 

In fact, I give a fuck how he 'gon react 

Through my first nineteen

Asking where he at 

Never seen him in the spots where we be at 

For the next couple hours I sat 'til the phone rang 

No luck or no cigar 

So I said to myself I'll try tomorrow 

Me and my Vincent left out 

Went to shoot play some ball 

Came back, had message like 'this your pa' 

Then I took to the phone 

Conversation was raw 

Shit, I had to let him know that his child was scarred 

And right now we working through our mess 

But I had to get some shit off my chest 

So bear with me, y'all 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

Just want to take the time to let you know 

Sometimes it's hard to let my feelings show 

The thoughts of guarantees are really so 

This is all for you, you 

[Phonte] 

I was looking at your photograph amazed how I favored you 

I remember being young wanting to play with you 

Cause you was a wild and crazy dude 

And now I understand why my momma couldn't never stay with you 

From the roots to the branches to the leaves 

They say apples don't fall far from the trees 

I used to find it hard to believe 

And I swore that I would 

Always hold my family as long as I could 

But damn 

Our memories can be so misleading 

It's misery 

I hate to see history repeating 

Thought you were the bad guy 

But I guess that's why 

Me and my girl split 

And my son is leaving 

I did chores, did bills, and did dirt 

But I swear to God I tried to make that shit work 

'Til I came off tour to an empty house 

With all the dressers and the cabinets emptied out 

I think I must've went insane 

Thinking I was in love, but really in chains 

Trapped to this girl through the two-year old who carried my name 

I tried to stop tripping 

But yo, I couldn't and the plot thickened 

That shit affected me, largely 

Because I know a lot of people want me 

To fail as a father 

And the thought of that haunts me 

Especially when I check my rear-view mirror 

And don't see him in his car seat 

So the next time it's late at night 

And I'm laid up with the woman I'mma make my wife 

Talking 'bout how we 'gon make a life 

I'm thinking about child support, alimony, visitation rights 

Cause that's the only outcome if you can't make it right 

Pissed off with your children feeling the same pain 

So, Pop, how could I blame cause you couldn't maintain 

I did the same thing 

The same thing 

[Chorus: x 2]
