All About It
Hoodie Allen Lyrics

Oh, oh
Introduction to the song.

Said I'm all about it
I have a passion for what I do and I am determined to make my dreams come true.

'Cause I got soul and I won't quit
I have a lot of passion for what I do and I am not going to give up anytime soon.

And your dad don't like it when I talk my shit
Parents are usually more conservative and don't like when young people express themselves in a more modern, uninhibited way.

'Cause I'm all about it baby
Still talking about my passion and determination but in a more affectionate way.

I'm all about it baby
Reaffirming my conviction and love for what I do.

Staying up late just to pass the time
I love what I do so much that I am willing to sacrifice sleep and other things just to keep doing it.

And your parents don't like it when you out getting high
Parents are usually more conservative and don't like when young people engage in risky behaviors such as drinking or taking drugs.

But I'm all about it baby
Still reaffirming my passion and determination despite the conservatives and what they think.

I'm all about it baby, hmm
Reaffirming my love and passion once again.

I'm not a rapper just a singer with a game plan
I am not just any rapper, I am different because of my purpose-driven approach to music.

I play guitar no need to worry 'bout my Drake hand
I am a guitarist and not just any rapper trying to fit into the crowd. I am different and unique.

80,000 People in front of the stage, damn
I am talking about my popularity and how people love my music.

Waiting for the sun to shine just to rock these Ray Bans
I am currently wearing Ray-Ban glasses and determined to achieve more success before taking them off.

I just wanna leak shit (what?)
I want to share my music with the world and let them know there is more out there.

Not literally leak shit
I am not talking about actual leaks but rather share my music in a non-conventional way.

Wanna push the music through the speakers
I am making an effort to share my music and push it into the mainstream.

Double shot glass, I'm in the back of the pub
I am currently in a different situation than before where I am experiencing life while still pursuing my passion.

My mate Jason at the bar screaming 'Who want what?'
I am having fun and enjoying my time more with my friends.

Now, please be warned, that every song I feature on
Warning the audience that every song I feature on can potentially achieve high success.

Has capacity to be reborn
Every song I create has the potential to be remastered and sound new once again.

I said that anything can happen when I pick up a pen
The theme of my songs might sound different but they are still a reflection of my work.

But now I'm all about love so won't you say it again
I am focusing more on a theme of love and I hope that the audience can get that message through my music.

I said I used to be the shy type
I was not always outgoing and open, and that was the reason why I had a backpack on my back on public transport.

Backpack on my back on public transport sort of guy type
I was not always confident in my personality and it was reflected in how I dressed and carried myself outside the house.

Now I'm in the lime light
I am no longer shy and I am now gaining recognition for my craft.

Tryna get my mind right
I am making an effort to keep my mental and emotional health aligned with my personal and musical development.

Body clock is in the clouds so often guess it's high time
I am so focused on my passion that it is often taking up most of my time, allowing me to develop more while ignoring the outside world.

Hoodie sing the line like
I am now focusing on the chorus and singing with passion and conviction.

I'm not a singer, I just rap pretty
I am confident in my ability to create and deliver engaging and unique music.

So now my fan base is full of Megan's and Ashley's
My following has expanded to include more people and demographics than before.

And they're wondering if there's room for them to get in my bus
Fans are so interested in following me that some are even willing to accompany me around.

And I'm like, 'Naturally, baby, let me find a spot in the front'
I am inviting my fans to join me and I am willing to allow them to take the front seat with me.

For you, and for your friends
Not only am I willing to let you join me for music and fun, but I am willing to let your friends join in as well.

You can be mine, but we can pretend, oh
I am giving my fans an opportunity to experience what it's like to be alongside me while also acknowledging the fun and adventure they will experience on the way.

Typical rapper actin' a typical fashion
I am not a typical rapper who would dress and act according to their perceived image.

I'm doing something that's different
I am focused on creating unique music and differentiating myself from most rappers.

I'm tryin' to Paula my patent young
I am trying to focus on my own music and create something unique that will differentiate myself from other young and upcoming musicians.

Prince of Manhattan, now everybody believe it
I have received more recognition and acknowledgment for my musical talent, allowing me to become a musical icon in my city.

Adrien Broner the way I'm ducking and weaving
I am not focused on winning wars and getting myself in position; rather, I am trying to avoid conflicts and stay away from any disputes.

We go together like interceptions and Revis
I am creating a connection between two different elements and mentioning my affinity for sports.

She said the only rapper she lovin' is Yeezus
I am acknowledging that music preferences are different and everyone has their own favorite rapper.

One for the money, two people since the beginning
I am reflecting on the starting years of my career and acknowledging that I was doing it alongside one other person.

Three million records get sold, and not everybody is winning I'm
Although I have achieved success, not everyone involved in the process benefits equally.

Larry David plus Miles Davis
I am creating a connection between two dissimilar individuals, choosing to focus on their positive characteristics.

So everybody hating and fuck it, I hardly blame 'em
I am acknowledging that not everyone will like my music and that it's just the way things work, and that's okay.

And they don't know anything about us
People who are outside of the music industry do not have the same knowledge as we do.

Or anything about us
People misunderstood our motivations while we rose to stardom.

Or anything about it
Audience members do not know the effort and the heart we put into our songs.

No, no, no
Repeating for emphasis.

I'm singin songs for the city
I am committed to creating music that resonates and connects with people in my hometown.

Oh
Ending music piece.

Ooh yeah
Closing sounds.
