I Want It All
Kendrick Lamar Lyrics

I want all the kush
I want all the marijuana

I want all the bottles
I want all the alcohol bottles

I want all the cash
I want all the money

I want all the models
I want all the attractive people

I want it all
I want everything

Ok, kush, bottles, shut up, swallow
Listing things he wants or is happening around him, including marijuana and alcohol, telling someone to quiet down, and asking someone to swallow something

Tonight I'm living life like there's no tomorrow
He is living life to the fullest without worrying about the consequences

Got a couple girls in the Benz
He has a few women with him in a Mercedes Benz car

And they all got friends, headed back to the condo
The women he is with have friends and they are going to his condo

And I make all they asses clap, clap, clap, bravo
He is receiving sexual attention and praise from the women

I want that lottery money
He wants to win a large sum of money from the lottery

That "please don't say hi to me" money
He wants enough money to not have to interact with people he doesn't want to

That 'I could go back to my hometown
He wants to have enough money to go back to his hometown and help his community overcome poverty

And get my city outta poverty' money
He wants enough money to help his city overcome poverty

Don't lie to me honey, I know that thang fake
He doesn't trust someone who isn't being honest with him

Put a candle on that ass, tell her "give me that cake", wait
He is making a sexual request to a woman after commenting on her body

I rep NY, big boy in the big city
He represents New York City and considers himself a powerful figure there

Shout out, five burroughs, the upper state, just ride with me
He is giving a shout out to the neighborhoods in New York and inviting people to ride with him

Now come drink on this bottle, and smoke out on this kush
He is inviting someone to drink and smoke with him

Now let's fade away, and let Juicy go make it rain on that hook
He is suggesting they relax and let the music play, while Juicy J performs on the song

Tell him I do Deniro, tell him you do Camaro
He and someone else have different skills or interests

I do a fast car, something like a Nascar
He enjoys driving fast cars and compares it to Nascar racing

Move like a sh-sh-sh-shooting star
He moves quickly, and compares his movements to a shooting star

And they know who we are, big pimping in the bbuilding
People are aware of his group's status and the attention they receive

Got about a million, throw it at the ceiling
He has a lot of money and is tossing it up into the air

Layin smack dead in the face of civillians
He is flaunting his wealth in front of regular people

Tell 'em I'm chilling with Patron on ice
He is relaxing and drinking alcohol

And my home on ice, and my neck on ice
He has valuable material possessions such as jewelry and a luxurious home

Lo-lo-lo-look at my ring, I'm a hustler string
He is showing off his ring and highlighting his ability to hustle and make money

You should learn me twice
He is skilled at something and others should take notice

I'mma grind till I die, that's no lie
He is committed to working hard for success and will keep doing so until he passes away

Do with my middle finger held up high
He doesn't care what others think and is doing things his way

Fuck the world, if it fry
He isn't concerned about the wellbeing of the world and will do what he wants regardless of the consequences

I know one thing, I did my job
He feels confident in his abilities and actions

And that's get what? Move, tell a lie
It's unclear what he means by this line

Sippin on Henny, smokin on ly
He is drinking Hennessy and smoking marijuana

Never let a penny pass me by
He doesn't miss opportunities to make money

Move with the Benjis by my side
He moves around with large sums of money

That's my sidekick, you better watch it
He carries a lot of money with him and others should be careful around him

What I mean is, don't touch my pockets
He doesn't want anyone to take his money

Man big debts, cut them checks
He has big bills to pay and needs to cash his checks to do so

Hundred mill plus, nothing less
He wants to make more than one hundred million dollars

Tell 'em they do kius
He is talking to someone else and emphasizing that their interests are different

Tell 'em I got a couple girls in the Benz, and they extra sexy like ES
He is with attractive women in a Mercedes Benz car

PN your boy got game, the magic wanna do the vein
It's unclear what he means by this line

Not ready but I'm way Kendrick, so I say F it to all you lames
He isn't ready for something, but he is still exceptional and doesn't care about others who aren't as successful as him

It's my time, it's my watch, homie
He believes this is his moment to shine

Y'all don't believe me just watch, only
People doubt him, but he is determined to prove his worth

Time will tell but I'll rhyme until I skip time, I'm Michael J. Fox
He will keep making music until he passes away, and he compares himself to actor Michael J. Fox who has Parkinson's disease

Got 86 on that dash, got 87 in cash, and I'm born in '88
He has a fast car and a lot of money, and he was born in 1988

Born and raised in New York, so you do the math
He was born and raised in New York and wants people to figure out what that means

Pass that dutch, oh
He wants someone to pass him a marijuana joint

I'mma get a little high now, get a little rush
He is going to use marijuana to get high and feel a rush of euphoria

So I take a little ride to the lower east side, hit the 169
He is taking a trip to the Lower East Side, and he may go to a specific location numbered 169

Probably find one girl who was 6'9"
He is likely to find a very tall woman

With another girl by the end of the night
He believes he will find multiple women to be with later in the night

I'm her suitor, I can tell the future
He is trying to attract a woman, and he believes he has a good sense of what will happen

I'm [?] same time
It's unclear what he means by this line
