All The Way
MO' KEB' Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On and off then on again
A little here and a little there
Holdin' steady at nowhere
I hesitated
I didn't mean to make you wait
My life was liberated
How far did I fall
All the way
I'm giving it all
Every day
How far will I go
All the way
I want you to know
I'm takin' it all the way
All the way All the way
I believe, Mr. Green
Let's stay together
We're like a heat wave and a love machine
Always and forever
Oh, the freedom,
The walls are crumbling down
And gone are the demons,
I found a sweet, soft place to hit the ground
How far did I fall
All the way
I'm giving it all
Every day
How far will I go
All the way
I want you to know
I'm takin' it all the way
All the way All the way
My old friends maybe and I don't know
Gotta say I'm not sorry to see them go
How far did I fall
All the way
I'm giving my all
Every day
How far will I go
All the way
I want you to know
I'm takin' it all the way
All the way
All the way

One foot out, one foot in
I'm not sure if I'm fully committed or not
On and off then on again
Sometimes I'm in, sometimes I'm out, but I keep going back and forth
A little here and a little there
I'm not making much progress
Holdin' steady at nowhere
I'm not moving forward or backward
I hesitated
I was uncertain and hesitant to take action
I didn't mean to make you wait
I apologize for any delay I caused
My life was liberated
My life became more free and unrestricted
When I took that leap of faith
When I took a risk and stepped outside of my comfort zone
How far did I fall
How much did I have to lose
All the way
All the way down to the bottom
I'm giving it all
I'm putting in all my effort
Every day
Consistently and constantly
How far will I go
How much more will I achieve
I want you to know
I want to communicate and express myself clearly
I'm takin' it all the way
I'm fully committed to achieving my goal
I believe, Mr. Green
I have faith and confidence in myself and my abilities
Let's stay together
Let's work together and support each other
We're like a heat wave and a love machine
We're passionate and powerful together
Always and forever
Permanently and without end
Oh, the freedom,
I feel liberated and free
The walls are crumbling down
My barriers and obstacles are disappearing
And gone are the demons,
My fears and doubts are no longer controlling me
I found a sweet, soft place to hit the ground
I found a gentle and comforting landing spot after taking a risk
My old friends maybe and I don't know
I may have lost touch with my old friends and I'm uncertain
Gotta say I'm not sorry to see them go
I don't regret losing touch with them
