Changing the narrative together’ and ‘Is love really enough’, were the themes given to Ric Flo by The Black Care Experience for their 2024 conference exploring these topics. ‘All I Need’ is the creative result and the music video tells the story of the Black Care Experience. Performed by Ric Flo and Judith AM Denton who are both care-experienced. They hope it inspires the next generation of black care-experienced young people and brings joy to the wider community for Black History Month. lyrics Check the funky rhythm, No longer hidden The history is written We gotta give it to them Check the funky rhythm, No longer hidden The history is written You’re all, That I need To get by You’re all that I need You’re all that I need You’re all that I need You’re all that I need How do we change the narrative? Go to where the passion is, serve that inner child for what (s)he didn’t get as a kid, flip the script for the future Wizkids, Shows them sounds from the other side so they can live, Proud of their heritage, Beauty in the Melanin Seeing duality in everything but focused on the leverage education and self in betterment, lead by example in your own presidents Share ideas to change the regiment, Show them the power they hold is everything They just need to exercise the flow beyond comprehension They got a head gold if they give it attention Love is contagious to the affected We just need to spread that blessing without question, spread the essence Turn Trauma to triumph and lessons into blessings What’s love without investment? You’re all, That I need To get by You’re all that I need You’re all that I need You’re all that I need You’re all that I need Listen I’m built different too resilient to be a victim to the system, I don’t watch statistics or colour-blind politics, or competitions, I follow my ambitions and intuition, code-switching since I was an infant, flow chameleon, survival of the fittest ingredients, from the medium, the deviant art, Basquiat with the rap, crown on the head cap, disobedient to the norms and craps, check the facts, Akabusi athletic on the tracks, still got records in my school, I’m a real class act, I built on that, the young black achiever, the care leader, the real boom-bap, that adapted to strange fruits and built roots, planted seeds of belief, watched the growth and recoup, confidence as evidence, I already knew, We’re / I’m here to change the game two / one of many immigrants with no excuse, I let loose You’re all, That I need To get by You’re all that I need You’re all that I need You’re all that I need You’re all that I need You’re all, That I need To get by You’re all that I need You’re all that I need You’re all that I need You’re all that I need It’s all love until it’s not enough I see you, do you see us? It’s all love until it’s not enough It takes the whole village to level up, It’s all love until it’s not enough I see you, do you see us? It’s all love until it’s not enough I see you, I see you, It’s all love until it’s not enough I see you, do you see us? It’s all love until it’s not enough I see you, I see you, It’s all love until it’s not enough I see you, do you see us? It’s all love until it’s not enough I see you, do you see us? credits released October 1, 2024 Produced By Specdrxm Mixed and mastered by Sumgii Music Video and Artwork by Ric Flo Diaghe Commissioned by The Black Care Experience
