Some compare King B to 2pac, some say he has the raw street-edge and gangster’ style of early Master P, and even a way of delivering street knowledge reminiscent of Pastor Troy. I say it’s all of these characteristics and a few other unique personality traits that make King B a well rounded young up-and-comer. By taking lesions from the success and failure of other recording artists, King B has been able to adapt his sound to be club friendly with that official southern gangster-lean. Like Master P, 2pac, and Biggie, the King B sound is original and expressive. If you have been waiting for the next real life G to tell his story then your in luck King B’s VISIONS album plays like a big budget, Hollywood, shootem’ up type gangster movie. Although one or two liberties may have been taken with names and dates on the album, this is a firsthand account of the harsh reality that is felt by those on the bottom of the U.S. social ladder.
With street sense and country wisdom King B makes rap music fun and interesting again. This is true Hip-Hop Story Telling at its best. Though as usual this album takes us to the dark side of human nature, it surprisingly shows us a glimpse of the better points of living in the hood as well. With a strong love for his community King B is the perfect one to tell the story of Logtown.

King B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got worried wo-ho
I don't know what to do
Because the women that I'm loving is breaking my heart in two
I remember way back when all the money, the money was rolling in
My women was good to me and I had a lot of friends
Oh but now I'm getting older
And now that women
She put me
I'm not wanted anymore
Yeah, my women, my women doesn't want me
I'm not wanted, not wanted anymore
In King B's song "All I Wanted," the singer reflects on his relationships with women and how they have affected his life. At the beginning of the song, the singer expresses confusion and worry about his current situation: he is in love with a woman who is breaking his heart. He reminisces about a time when he had money and his relationships were good, but now that he is getting older and the money is not coming in as easily, things have changed. The line "my women was good to me" suggests that the singer has had relationships with multiple women, and that these relationships were once fulfilling. However, the singer is also acknowledging that past is behind and he now has to face the present.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more and more despondent, with the repeated refrain of "not wanted anymore" emphasizing his emotional state. He is no longer the man he once was, and the decline in his financial situation and relationships have left him feeling unfulfilled and unwanted. The fact that the songwriter uses the term "my women" and not “my woman” emphasizes that this is a recurring theme for the singer - he has been in multiple relationships and seems to have a pattern of being left behind.
This song speaks about the fear of getting old, losing one's financial stability, and being left alone. In many ways, it is a lament about the darker side of relationships, particularly the pain that can accompany their breaking down. The singer is expressing his deep sadness, disillusionment and frustration about his life.

At times
I got worried wo-ho
I became anxious and nervous
I don't know what to do
I'm clueless about what steps to take
Because the women that I'm loving is breaking my heart in two
She's causing immense anguish and agony
I remember way back when all the money, the money was rolling in
There was a time when I had an abundance of money
My women was good to me and I had a lot of friends
My lover was kind to me and I had several companions
Oh but now I'm getting older
As I age
Whoa and the money, the money it's coming in slow
I'm earning money at a decreasing rate
