All My Life
Elzo Jamdong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Intro
When I was younger I used to say "life is a game" and you gotta use ya brain
But growin up and especially livin in a foreign land facism racism hypocrisy
Seeing myself being addicted to money bullshit
Seeing what they did to pac, Mj, Tiger Woods
I mean no mo dreams man

Life is a game this game is a lie
And all you seeing is a little fiction
This game is a game but man don't lie
If you real we can share my reflexion
I said life is a game this game is a lie
And all you seeing is a little fiction
This game is a game bit Im gon try
To find the way I'd better leave my passion
Cause when you wanna find peace that's when you get hurt the most
Right here (right here right here) they only fight and foss
I thougt I could change the world
Now I see that I can't even change the third

x2
All my life I've been waitin
And I still can't see no changes
All my life I've been waitin (waitin)
And that's the reason why Im still fadin

Many fakin using them brain to pay your head
Shit breaking your mind
Many games to play and stress to dominate in your head, shit shakin inside
They ready to shot
When you ready to shine
How many moms already lost their child
They hatin a lot til makin families cry
It's takin me high how they takin the lives
When you wanna find peace that's when you get hurt the most right here
They only fight and foss
I thought I could change the world
But now I see that I can't even stand and look

x 2
The game is so dangerous
Fake friends is so dangerous
Appearance is dangerous I'm tellin you
Fame is so dangerous
You wanna find you get hurt the most right here
They only fight and fuss
The game is so dangerous fake friends so dangerous




You wanna find peace you get hurt the most right here
They only fight and fuss

Overall Meaning

Elzo Jamdong's song "All My Life" is a powerful and poignant commentary on life and the struggles he has faced. In the intro, he talks about how when he was younger, he used to think that life was a game that one had to use their brain to navigate. However, as he grew up and lived in a foreign land, he saw the dark side of life - fascism, racism, and hypocrisy. He also talks about being addicted to money, something that he later realizes is "bullshit." Elzo Jamdong points out examples of people who were once idolized and how they were brought down, such as Michael Jackson, Tiger Woods, and, more painfully, Tupac. He says that he no longer has any dreams because he has seen how the world works; he has seen the realities of life and how it can crush people's dreams.


The chorus of the song talks about how despite all his waiting, Elzo Jamdong has still not seen any changes in his life. He talks about fading away, his life slipping through his fingers despite his efforts. He then goes on to paint a picture of how dangerous the game of life can be - the fake friends, appearances, and fame that people chase are all incredibly dangerous. He warns listeners that when they try to find peace, they might get hurt the most because at the end of the day, all people do is fight and fuss.
