All I Need Lyrics

[Intro]
It's the Roc, woo
Nike Airs is right (Check)
My bucket is low (Check)
My Rocawear is fittin' incredible (Fuck it)

[Verse 1]
I guess I got my swagger back
Mama, they said I killed a man
Well, I guess I got the dagger back
It's the Roc, bastards, we are back
In the heezy
Jigga Man, B. Sige to M-Easy (What up, fam?)
Oschino and Sparks and Freeweezy (Holla)
Mickey, Mallory, Chris, and Neef, hey

All I need is the love of my crew
The whole industry can hate me, I thugged my way through
And all I need is a chick that hold a jammy
Like Meth and Mary, like Marvin and Tammi, uh

Now understands we can't be stopped
From blowin' Swisher Sweets outta candy drops
Like we underground kings, ridin' dirty
A nigga been focused since I said hi to thirty (What up?)
Young niggas, y'all can't hurt me
Better watch and observe me
And learn how to earn better, I burn cheddar
I set fire to your empire
I blow smoke in your face, burn rubber off of rim tires
Yes I-ah, Jay I-ah
Double G-A,
live wire, nigga, holla back
[Chorus]
All I need
Rocawear (Check)
Nike Airs (Check)
Mean bucket (Uh-huh)
Armadale in the club, couple of duckets (Yeah)
Couple chicks by my side, let's ride
All I need
That new coupe (Got that)
A durag and a pocket full of loot (Got those)
A sunny day, some chicks that wanna play
And I'll be on my way, listen

[Verse 3]
The cream too long, my team too strong
Bleek is too hot, Beans is gone
Y'all niggas in the crosshair, the beams is on (See y'all)
Your whole block deserted, y'all fiends are gone (Bye-bye)
The whole Roc is jumpin', we reached our zenith
Got fiends throwin' up on themself like Willie Beamen (Haha)
Any given Sunday, gunplay's optional

However niggas want it like Soul II Soul (However do you want it?)
Whoever got hops get blocked, go to the hole
Dikembe Mutumbo of this rap shit
Plus the jab is sick, and it's Zab quick
Left hand'll lean 'em like a little past six

Now run along with your little-ass hits
Read my rap sheet, nigga, three classics
Shut your bumba', I got A-Rod numbers
All you muddaskunks get buried in the trunk
When I blast the pump, I leave you relaxed
In the hospital, lookin' at M*A*S*H for months

Then I dumps dough on the D.A. desk
And I flee scot-free and pee-pee on the steps

We's got no respect
No law or governin', why you fuckin' with him?
Matter fact, why you fuckin' with them?
All y'all need is the R-O-C, baby
[Chorus]
All I need
Rocawear (Check)
Nike Airs (Right)
Mean bucket (Check)
Armadale in the club, couple of duckets (Uh)
Couple chicks by my side, let's ride
All I need
That new coupe (Got that)
A durag and a pocket full of loot (Got those)
A sunny day, some chicks that wanna play
And I'll be on my way, listen

[Outro]
All I need
Roc-A-Fella Records (Yeah)
Freeway (Yeah)
Oschino and Sparks
Chris and Neef
All I need
Mickey and Mallory
Broad Street Bully
M-Extra Money, hah
Young
H to the izzo (All I need)
Clue
Rell
Uh-huh, yeah, yeah
All I need

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
