About All I Need

"I'll Be There for You/You're All I Need to Get By" is a duet performed by rapper Method Man and R&B singer Mary J. Blige. The song is a remix of Method Man's "All I Need" (which appears on his 1994 debut album Tical), with an interpolation of Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell's hit, "You're All I Need to Get By", with Mary J. Blige singing the choruses, and backing vocals. Another version of the song was released, entitled "Puff Daddy Mix," which was produced by Sean Combs. The song contains a new instrumental which includes a repeated sample ("Lie together, cry together/I swear to God I hope we fuckin' die together") from The Notorious B. I. G.'s "Me & My Bitch". Another remix version, titled "Razor Sharp Mix" was produced by RZA. The song sold 800,000 copies and was certified platinum by the RIAA. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on June 3, 1995, and #1 on the R&B singles chart in the May 20, 1995 issue of Billboard Magazine - a position it held for three weeks. The song also ended up winning the duo the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1996. more »

You're all that I need, I'll be there for you
If you keep it real with me, I'll keep it real wit'chu
Loving your whole steeze, it be in there boo
On top of that you got the good power you

Shorty I'm there for you anytime you need me
For real girl, it's me in your world, believe me
Nuthin' make a man feel better than a woman
Queen with a crown that be down for whatever
There are few things thats forever, my lady
We can make war or make babies
Back when I was nuthin'
You made a brother feel like he was something
Thats why I'm with you to this day boo, no frontin'
Even when the skies were gray
You would rub me on my back and say baby it'll be O.K.
Now that's real to a brother like me baby
Never ever give my pussy away and keep it tight aight
And I'm a walk these dogs so we can live
In a fat ass crib with thousands of kids
Word life you don't need a ring to be my wife
Just be there for me I'm a make sure we
Be livin' in the fucking lap of luxury
I'm realizing that 'cha didn't have to f*ck with me
But 'cha did, now I'm going all out kid
And I got mad love to give, you my nigga

You're all that I need, I'll be there for you
If you keep it real with me, I'll keep it real wit'chu
Loving your whole steeze, it be in there boo
On top of that you got the good power you

You're all that I need, I'll be there for you
If you keep it real with me, I'll keep it real wit'chu
Loving your whole steeze, it be in there boo
On top of that you got the good power you

I got a Love Jones for your body and your skin tone
Five minutes alone I'm already on the bone
Plus I love the fact you got a mind of your own
No need to shop around you got the good shit at home
Even if I'm locked up north you in the world
Rockin' three-fourths of cloth never showin' your stuff off, boo
It be true me for you thats how it is
I can be your Noah you can be my Wiz
Then I can be your sun, you can be my earth
Resurrect the God through birth
Best believe

You're all that I need, I'll be there for you
If you keep it real with me, I'll keep it real wit'chu
Loving your whole steeze, it be in there boo
On top of that you got the good power you

You're all that I need, I'll be there for you
If you keep it real with me, I'll keep it real wit'chu
Loving your whole steeze, it be in there boo
On top of that you got the good power you
