All I Ever Wanted

{sub-bass drone}

Yeah,

yeah {filtered keys

pattern} (uh-huh) That's all I ever wanted {beat drops softly} That's all

I ever wanted

(yeah) That's all the shit I ever wanted,

nigga

That's all I ever wanted

That's all the shit I ever wanted,

nigga

{crisp boom-bap snare}

We used to share a single

coat against the cold

Before the dreams of silver,

back when we were gold

I watched the smoke rise up,

dissolving in the sky

And swore that one day I

would make the vision fly

No safety net beneath us,

balance on the edge

Just living out the promises

we wrote upon the ledge

{dynamic bassline progression} That's all I ever wanted

(yeah) That's all the shit I ever wanted,

nigga

That's all I ever wanted

That's all the shit I ever wanted,

nigga

{full

horn

stabs

dynamic} Now look at what we built

from absolute zero

No capes, no shields,

just trying to be a hero For every single brother waiting at

the gate

We opened up the locks,

we didn't hesitate

(no hesitating) And every time they told me that we couldn't climb

I pointed to the sky

and said we're out of time That's all I ever wanted

(yeah) That's all the shit I ever wanted,

nigga

That's all I ever wanted

That's all the shit I ever wanted,

nigga

{climax with choir backing} {drums drop out} (all I ever wanted)

Just to see the family eat

Just to get off the street

{electric piano plays soft solo} Yeah

{slow fade to silence}
