Against All Odds
Dylan C. Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(What ever it takes, what ever it takes, what ever it takes
I'll do what ever it takes, what ever it takes, what ever it takes)
(Yeah yeah)

They don't want to hear about struggle
They don't want to hear about love
They don't want to hear about much
So I keep one tucked
It's like we all so fucked
The whole world been blazing
They don't want to hear about us anymore but we all need saving

Ah yeah, back on my bull shit
You know that they hate on me, so I keep a full clip
Can't let these naggers be thinking I'm foolish
Stacking the bread like I'm Jewish
When I was putting in work on the gram
They shed no love to us fam
They used to passover me
Tommy Hill on my bag
Nigga I'm making a wave
I get the doe like a stag
I always knew I would be hella paid
They put the gun in my face, what the fuck would you do
I got piece like two
Hurricane, hurricane

What ever it takes, do what ever it takes, what ever it takes, you know
What ever it takes, I know
I'll do what ever it takes, what ever it takes
Ah I know
Angles watching over me
(What ever it takes, what ever it takes)
Pray the Lord my should to keep
(What ever it takes, what ever it takes)
So when they lay me down to rest
(What ever it takes, what ever it takes)
I just pray I did me best
(But I)
I'll do what ever it takes
(Alright)

Black sheep call me Caskey
Yeah I got bars if you actually know what I'm talking bout'
It's a mystery
Still got hits in the vault like I'm Walt Disney
You can see me if you want to be me, you might have to look up on the TV
If you really know what I'm talking bout'
I got flow I got flow I got flow I got so much flow they put me in the floor
(Alright)

What ever it takes, do what ever it takes, what ever it takes, you know
What ever it takes, I know
I'll do what ever it takes, what ever it takes
Ah I know
Angles watching over me
(What ever it takes, what ever it takes)
Pray the Lord my should to keep
(What ever it takes, what ever it takes)
So when they lay me down to rest
(What ever it takes, what ever it takes)
I just pray I did me best
(But I)
I'll do what ever it takes
(Alright)

(What ever it takes, what ever it takes, what ever it takes, what ever it ta-a-kes




What ever it takes, what ever it takes But I, I'll do what ever it ta-a-akes
I'll do what ever it ta-a-akes I'll do what ever it ta-a-akes, what ever it takes, what ever it takes)

Overall Meaning

In Dylan C. Jones's song Against All Odds, the lyrics are about perseverance and doing whatever it takes to succeed despite the obstacles in life. The opening lines repeat the phrase "whatever it takes" emphasizing the point of the song. The artist feels like people are not interested in hearing about difficult times or love, making him feel misunderstood and isolated. The line "So I keep one tucked" suggests that he keeps his troubles and struggles hidden from the rest of the world.


The artist then describes how he has experienced rejection and hate from others. He talks about how he worked hard to gain recognition on social media and didn't receive any love from his own people. This motivates him to prove his worth and succeed, stacking bread like a Jewish person. He believes that he is making waves and getting his due, even though some people want to bring him down. The reference to a hurricane could be seen as a metaphor for the obstacles that he has faced.


The chorus repeats that the artist will do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it means putting himself in danger. He asks for divine protection and guidance, expressing his desire to do his best in life.
