Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All these little kids is boring
Got this money on my mind
Now his babygirl adore me
I be riding my wave
Just keep swimming like I'm Dory vibin all the time
All these little kids is boring
Vibin all the time
Got this money on my mind
Now his babygirl adore me
I be vibin all the time
All these little kids is boring
Got this money on my mind
Now his babygirl adore me
I be riding my wave
Just keep swimming like I'm Dory
Iv been finding my way
Getting rich like Rick and Morty
Vibin all the way
Ain't no stopping till I'm 40
Put my high ass in the booth
Turn on a beat and start recording
Vibin in this bitch
I'm to drunk to keep on pouring
Vibin in this bitch
lil hoe you Can't afford me
Iv been vibin in this bitch
All these little kids is boring
Cooking Curry in this bitch
Call me Steph the way I'm scoring
You all been sleeping on a kid
I know that bitch is always snoring
Iv been vibin in this bitch
Tell these hoes that they ain't for me
I'm still grinding for my bag don't be late lose ya plate
Haters steady mad
No debate ima great
I've been making my own path
Find my way it's give or take
Left alone all at last
Now I'm first place
They want my cape
I've been higher than a kite
Cloud nine taking flight
Higher than a kite
What's my height in the sky
Fly her through the night
Just to wake up and get high
I've been higher than a kite
Taking flights in the sky
These bitches think they scary
But they scared of Bloody Mary
Think I'm caring for a Karen
Bitch shut up you ain't my parent
Like a parrot she repeating
All this shit like we ain't hear it
Whose your daughter
She's embarrassed
Probably fucking with a Clearance
I've been grinding for a bag
For myself I ain't comparing
I've been grinding for a bag
Tell my brothers I'll be sharing
I go different on a track
When we got Gigi engineering
He be holding up the back
You know
I'm up here fucking steering
Iv been fighting my own battles
Got me facing what I'm fearing
Ain't no problems gonna stop me
Truth or dare I guess I'm daring
The truths in my mentality
It's fear no I'm not fearless
Just abandoned broken feelings
Holding in and I can't bare it
Iv been outside going far going hard
Brodie wanna talk nah
Catch me on the yard
And you know I'm putting work in So you know I'm going far
So far set the bar
Yuh Yuh
I've been working to hard
Got to set the bar high
Ain't no Red Dead Redemption
But I got dead eye
If the 12 get behind me
We gone see pigs fly
Yuh
We gone see pigs dye
Man fuck all this rap shit
I'm trying to get high
Why these pussy ass boys
Always trying to switch sides
Yuh Since a lil boy
Always thought about my life
Coulda been better
But that don't sound right
Ya coulda had Keisha
But she don't want pipe
And I got some grade A
Take off like a kite
Man I ain't no crack head
But I still got a pipe
Buss my wrist down
Don't care about no price
Bust my wrist down don't care about no price
The lyrics of 2.3's song "All Time Low" can be interpreted as a celebration of the artist's success and independence. The opening lines express a sense of contentment and satisfaction with life - the singer is "vibin' all the time," feeling good and unencumbered. However, the next line suggests that others (specifically "little kids") are not feeling as fulfilled, underscored by the repetition of "boring." This could be a commentary on the singer's peers, who may not have the same passion or drive, or even a societal commentary on the mundane nature of daily life.
The song then transitions to a focus on the singer's financial success and the admiration of others, specifically the attention of a "babygirl" who now "adores" the artist. The chorus repeats the opening lines, emphasizing the artist's consistent state of happiness and satisfaction, while also underscoring the feeling that the artist has moved past others in terms of financial and emotional success. The next verse continues to focus on the artist's success, contrasting their success story with the singer's past struggles. The singer mentions the popular show "Rick and Morty" as a reference for success and implies that they are on the path to similar levels of wealth and fame. The song returns to the chorus and ends with a focus on materialistic endeavors, referencing the luxury watch brand Richard Mille ("the wrist down") and a general disregard for monetary expense.
Overall, "All Time Low" is a triumphant account of the artist's success and a rejection of societal expectations or limitations. It is a celebration of achieving greatness in the face of adversity and a rejection of societal norms.

I've been higher than a kite
I have been experiencing intense euphoria
Cloud nine taking flight
I am on cloud nine, completely soaring

I'm trying to understand just how elevated I am
Fly her through the night
I am flying high through the dark hours of the day
Just to wake up and get high
I wake up and immediately experience a new high
These bitches think they scary
Women believe they are intimidating
But they scared of Bloody Mary
Yet they themselves are scared of silly stories like 'Bloody Mary'
Think I'm caring for a Karen
There is a woman who thinks I am concerned about her opinions
Bitch shut up you ain't my parent
I am not interested in this woman acting as a parental figure
Like a parrot she repeating
This woman is merely repeating things she's been told
All this shit like we ain't hear it
We have all heard these opinions before, it's nothing new
Whose your daughter, she's embarrassed
A woman's daughter is ashamed of her behavior

The truths in my mentality
My way of thinking is based on honesty and reality
It's fear no I'm not fearless

Just abandoned broken feelings
I've abandoned any negative emotions that have held me back in the past
Holding in and I can't bear it
I am struggling to contain and manage certain emotions
Iv been outside going far going hard
I have been working hard and reaching new heights
Brodie wanna talk nah catch me on
If someone wants to challenge me, they can find me on the court
And you know I'm putting work in So you know I'm going far
I'm putting in effort and will continue to go far in my pursuits
So far set the bar
I have set the standard high so far
I've been working to hard
I've been dedicating myself entirely to my craft
Got to set the bar high
I need to continue pushing myself to even greater heights
Ain't no Red Dead Redemption
My life is not a video game
But I got dead eye
I have a good aim like the character 'Dead Eye' in the video game
If the 12 get behind me
If the cops tail me
We gone see pigs fly
I won't stop my activity even if it's unlikely to succeed
Man fuck all this rap shit
I am fed up with the music industry
I'm trying to get high
I just want to experience a new high
Why these pussy ass boys always trying to switch sides
Why are people so quick to abandon their loyalty?
Yuh Since a lil boy
Ever since I was young
Always thought about my life
I've always had a vision of what I want for my life
Coulda been better
I could have made better decisions
But that don't sound right
I don't regret my past decisions
Ya coulda had Keisha
You could have had a relationship with Keisha
But she don't want pipe
But she wasn't interested in a sexual relationship
And I got some grade A
And I got some high-quality marijuana
Take off like a kite
I will feel euphoric after smoking this weed
Man I ain't no crack head
I am not addicted to hard drugs
But I still got a pipe
But I still enjoy smoking marijuana
Buss my wrist down
I will buy an expensive watch
Don't care about no price
I am not concerned about the cost of the watch

For a long time in the late 70s, 2.3 were my favourite local band. Saw them everywhere I could get to
@TorrezVideo
Never heard of them prior to finding this awesome Fast Product four way split with singles by Gang of Four, Mekons, Human League and...of course... 2.3. Great post!

Still got my 7" single of All Time Low and Where to Now... still love it. Also found some old copies of Home Groan & Steves Papers. Saw you guys in Weston Park about 1980. Hoping to see you at Tramlines.... coming back to Sheffield to watch my sons band Vultures (at Plug).
