And casperthedot whats it all for
Whats its for
Im guilty i dont know no more
The things i work so hard to appear
They disappear when im gone
Whats its all for
Whats its all for
Whats its all for
Whats its for
Im guilty i dont know no more
The things i work so hard to appear
They disappear when im gone
Whats its all for
Whats its all for
Whats its all for
Since a youngin
They taught us how to get a good job
But never build a business
Just a regular ol 9 to 5
I watched my pops
Work his hardest
Damn broke his back
Then sit in 2 hour traffic
Just to come on home
Then go right back
With no complaints
He held it down
For 7 days a week
Then got a second job
Just to double up the salary
Rarely vacation
Off days we blazing
All those years he was waiting
Then he die before he made it
Huh
I share this story of a life well lived
But when you look everything
You really cant die with
All the money and the cars
And jewelry impress the women
Then we get em
Then we diss em
Then we claiming that we pimpin
Look
I question life
Cuz most of its bullshit
These niggas charge you just to die
And they charge you to live
If you aint balling
Then the funeral might put you in debt
Man
When you die
Materials dont mean shit
I just hustle on the daily
Like my life depending on it
I dont know what else to tell you
Im enjoying every moment
Huh
I thug it out
We long away from poor
I can fill up bank accounts
And passports
But what this all for
Whats its for
Im guilty i dont know no more
The things i work so hard to appear
They disappear when im gone
Whats its all for
Whats its all for
Whats its all for
Whats its for
Im guilty i dont know no more
The things i work so hard to appear
They disappear when im gone
Whats its all for
Whats its all for
Whats its all for
I asked that question to a wise man
And he said to get things to make you happy
And i said




If you things to make you happy
Are you truly happy

Overall Meaning

The song "All of Me for All for You" by 9.9 featuring Cloud 9ine KO and Casperthedot, begins with an intro by DJ Dirty Knuckle about celebrating "Ken Dog Day" and giving away tickets to see No Tomorrow live. The lyrics then dive into the introspective thoughts of the rapper, questioning the purpose of their pursuits and the meaning of life. The chorus repeatedly asks "what is it all for?" and acknowledges a sense of guilt for not knowing the answer.


The first verse shares the story of the rapper's father, who worked hard his whole life but passed away before reaping the benefits of his labor. The second verse delves into the absurdity of the materialistic nature of society, where people amass wealth and possessions but still find themselves questioning the meaning of life. The song ends with a conversation between the rapper and a wise man, who suggests that material possessions can bring happiness, but the rapper questions whether that is really true.


The song is a powerful commentary on the never-ending pursuit of material wealth and success in society, and the ultimately unfulfilling nature of such pursuits. It speaks to the human desire for purpose and fulfillment beyond the tangible, and the difficulty of finding that in a society that values material gain above all else.

And casperthedot whats it all for
Featuring Casperthedot's song 'What's It All For'


Whats its for
Questioning the purpose of one's actions


Im guilty i dont know no more
Admitting to not knowing the answer to the question


The things i work so hard to appear
Acknowledging the effort put into creating a certain image


They disappear when im gone
Realizing that the aforementioned image is not permanent


Since a youngin
Since childhood


They taught us how to get a good job
Being taught to focus on getting a well-paying job


But never build a business
Not being taught how to start a business


Just a regular ol 9 to 5
Being limited to a typical work schedule


I watched my pops
Observing one's father


Work his hardest
Seeing one's father work tirelessly


Damn broke his back
Working so hard that it caused physical harm


Then sit in 2 hour traffic
Enduring a long commute


Just to come on home
Returning home after a long day of work


Then go right back
Returning to work the next day


With no complaints
Without complaining about the difficult work schedule


He held it down
Committing to the job


For 7 days a week
Working every day of the week


Then got a second job
Taking on a second job for more income


Just to double up the salary
Working even harder to earn more money


Rarely vacation
Not often taking time off work


Off days we blazing
Spending days off work smoking marijuana


All those years he was waiting
Enduring many years of hard work


Then he die before he made it
Passing away before being able to enjoy the fruits of his labor


Huh
Expressing disbelief at the situation


I share this story of a life well lived
Sharing a story about a life with hard work and sacrifice


But when you look everything
Upon closer examination


You really cant die with
Realizing that material possessions cannot be taken to the afterlife


All the money and the cars
Acknowledging the desire for wealth and luxury possessions


And jewelry impress the women
Admitting that material possessions are also used for impressing others


Then we get em
Successfully attracting the women we desire


Then we diss em
Eventually rejecting and losing interest in the women we previously desired


Then we claiming that we pimpin
Pretending to be a pimp in order to impress others


Look
Listen carefully


I question life
Doubting the purpose of life


Cuz most of its bullshit
Believing that much of life is meaningless


These niggas charge you just to die
Commenting on the expense of funerals


And they charge you to live
Acknowledging the high cost of living


If you aint balling
If you are not wealthy


Then the funeral might put you in debt
Not having enough money to pay for a funeral


Man
Expressing frustration


When you die
Upon one's death


Materials dont mean shit
Material possessions are meaningless after death


I just hustle on the daily
Working hard every day


Like my life depending on it
Putting in effort as if one's life depends on it


I dont know what else to tell you
Admitting to not having any other advice or insight


Im enjoying every moment
Taking pleasure in every moment of life


I thug it out
Persisting through difficult times


We long away from poor
Acknowledging that they are financially comfortable


I can fill up bank accounts
Being able to deposit large amounts of money


And passports
Possessing numerous passports from travelling


But what this all for
Questioning the purpose of accumulating wealth and experiences


I asked that question to a wise man
Consulting a wise individual for insight


And he said to get things to make you happy
Being advised to acquire possessions that will lead to happiness


And i said
Responding to the advice


If you things to make you happy
If material possessions bring happiness


Are you truly happy
Questioning if one can truly be happy by relying on material possessions
