All Night Long
Machine Gun Kelly Lyrics

Ay yo, this that shit you bob your head to
This is that kind of music that you just can't help but nod your head to

This that brand new instrumental
This song features a fresh, new sound

I heard he put his city on
Rumors say that Machine Gun Kelly helped to popularize his hometown's music scene

That boy Kells so influential
Machine Gun Kelly's success has had a significant impact on his followers and music fans in general

Success got everybody hating
People tend to be envious or resentful of those who have achieved success

Success to me is inspiration
For Machine Gun Kelly, success serves as a source of inspiration and motivation

'Cause how we supposed to know that what we dream is possible If don't nobody that looks like us makes it?
It can be difficult to be motivated to pursue one's dreams if one feels like nobody similar to oneself has found success in that field

You only got one life, don't waste it
Since we only have one life to live, it's important to make the most of it

I mean we only got one night, get wasted
We only get to live each moment once, so we should make it count, even if that means partying and having a good time

I mean I know you're trying to think it out But go with what you feel 'cause real problems can't be calculated
Although it's tempting to try and analyze and calculate things meticulously, sometimes it's best to simply trust one's instincts and feelings, especially in situations where rational thinking can't solve the problem

It's hard to find the answer when they have no explanation
It can be challenging to find a solution or a logical explanation when the problem itself doesn't make sense or has no clear cause

It's hard to find where you're headed when there's no destination
Without a specific goal or destination, it can be difficult to determine what path to take in order to achieve one's aspirations

It's hard to know when we're going when there's no expiration
Without a clear timeline of when something will happen or when it should end, it can be difficult to assess progress or figure out where one stands in relation to their goals

So until that day, just keep that Kells inside your playlist and Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long
Until the day that everything becomes clearer or easier to understand, just keep listening to Machine Gun Kelly's music and enjoy it to the fullest

Drinking whiskey like a desperado My bitches drinking Reposado Ashing in an empty bottle Listening to the songs that put our asses in this empty condo
Machine Gun Kelly's crew is sitting around, drinking whiskey and tequila, smoking cigarettes, and listening to music that reminds them of their humble beginnings and their journey to their current position

Remember ridin' 'round in Ashleigh's car though? When the radio first played our song though? Or at her house when MTV first showed my face That clip was crazy, I swear it felt like we won the lotto
Machine Gun Kelly is reminiscing about the times when his music first started to gain traction and get noticed by the public, recalling how those initial small victories felt like huge wins

But a million bucks can't buy priceless moments An a million people may not know us But every one of us wants this gift we own And that is how is how to keep it real
Although money and fame can offer some benefits, they don't compare to the intangible, meaningful moments and experiences that come with pursuing one's passions and dreams in a genuine, authentic way

How to never judge somebody by their steering wheel 'Cause you know that mother fucker in that Ford Taurus Could be the next mother fucker in that new Porsche
It's important not to make assumptions about people based on the car they drive, as they may have different backgrounds or aspirations that don't necessarily align with what their vehicle suggests

But like I said it's hard to know where you're headed When there's no destination
Without having a clear end goal or objective, it can be challenging to understand where one is going or how to get there

This shit right here, man, this shit feels right!
Machine Gun Kelly is feeling incredibly good about his current situation and success in the music industry

Aye Doug, aye Dray, aye Earl, you know it's all year right? Hah!
Machine Gun Kelly is giving a shoutout to his team and affirming that their success is ongoing throughout the year

I'm sitting here in the middle of New York City The night before I gotta turn my second album in Higher than a motherfucka, drunker than a motherfucka With my boys, and I'm thinking, damn, man 5 years ago We were dead broke chilling in Cleveland everyday
Machine Gun Kelly is reflecting on his current position being in New York City, having achieved significant success. Five years ago, they were struggling in Cleveland, but now they're in the middle of the Big Apple with a new album on the way

And the next thing you know, people are calling us about record deals And you know, the crazy part is Ashleigh rented this white Nissan Altima for me and Slim so we could drive out to New York I think she had to some work some shit or something like that so she couldn't go So we were gonna go out there and see what these labels were talking about
Despite humble beginnings, Machine Gun Kelly began to garner attention and was being scouted by record labels. He recalls how their friend Ashleigh rented a car for them to go to New York to explore their options

And I'm driving us there, but my license's suspended So I tell Slim, I'm like "Yo, I gotta pull up before we get to New York and switch So you can drive in case we get pulled over" 'Cause we got pulled over the last time we went there But you know, he had a license so it made sense for him to drive
Machine Gun Kelly was driving them to New York but his license was suspended. He asked his friend Slim to take over so that they wouldn't get in trouble if they were stopped by police on the way

So cut to like 7 and a half hours later I pull over in this emergency lane And right as I'm opening the door to switch with Slim, boom! This fucking car going full speed on the highway swerves off the road and smashed into us Yo, I swear to God I woke up half my body's laying outside the car in a ditch Like 15-20 feet away from where we just were The car was totaled, the windows were smashed It was cold as fuck, it was raining outside But we were, we were actually okay I mean, my boy had to go the hospital you know the ambulance came and shit He ended up being alright
The car was involved in a bad accident on the highway in which another car swerved and collided with them. They landed in a ditch located 15-20 feet away from where they were previously and had to seek medical attention. Fortunately, his friend ended up being okay in the end

But our meeting's with the record label started at 2 and we didn't have no car And now we were stuck in a fucking hospital in New Jersey
Their car accident left them stranded and unable to attend their scheduled meeting with the record label

So this dude that, I ended up partnering with later on, his name's James McMillan He comes and gets us to these meetings and shit, somehow, someway I don't know if it was just because we just got into a crazy car crash And could've died a couple of hours ago
Despite their predicament, a man named James McMillan helped Machine Gun Kelly attend their meeting with the record label, which Machine Gun Kelly believes was a result of their recent, traumatic experience

But I'm in there and like you know I'm not feeling this shit man I'm not feeling this record label shit And a, we drove back to Cleveland
Despite the setback and help that they received, Machine Gun Kelly still wasn't keen on the idea of collaborating with a record label and decided to return home

Now I'm back in Ashleigh's mom's basement, I'm thinking about life, you know I'm on a shit ton of vicodin 'cause the doctors at the hospital You know gave us something 'cause we got into that car accident And Ashleigh runs downstairs and she's like "Yo, yo, Kells, Kells, you're not gonna believe who wants to talk to you right now "I'm like, "who?" She's like "He's gonna call you in 30 seconds"
Machine Gun Kelly reflects on his experience since returning home and recovering from the car accident. While sitting in Ashleigh's mom's basement, she informs him that someone wants to speak with him regarding his music career

Now I guess, when I was in New York, I had made some kinda noise 'cause this dude named Byron Who ended up becoming my manager later on, took this video I had called "Chip off the Block" Over to Bad Boy and showed Harve Pierre And Harve Pierre went and showed that vid to a guy named Puff
Machine Gun Kelly learns that someone had seen his video and showed it to various industry insiders, eventually ending up in the hands of Puff Daddy

So I answer my phone, depressed, down, fucked up on vicodin and I hear "Please hold, I have Mister Sean Combs for you" I said, god damn, life's about to change, man, I felt it And sometimes that's all it takes, it's just that feeling you know what I mean I knew I was gonna be here, and now I'm here Feel that, uh
Despite feeling out of sorts and taking medication, Machine Gun Kelly's phone call with Sean Combs indicated that something big was about to happen in his career due to his exceptional talent

Lace up, Kells Farewell, yeah This that shit you bob your head to That boy, Kells
The song concludes with Machine Gun Kelly's famous catchphrase, a final farewell, and a reaffirmation that his music is both catchy and enjoyable
