My All
Mariah Carey with Ms. Lauryn Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And take it slowly
You can't run away gonna find you
And make you want me
[Chorus]
All my time it could be spent with you
So what you gonna do?
See all my time it could be spent with you
So what you gonna do?
Make sure your game is true
Well could it be that through these Cartiers I swear
Their stares a specimen smooth as Sidney Poitier
Clean cut & dapper seems he's straight & narrow
Tingle in the bone marrow ???
But I ain't that aggressive instead I act suggestive
Bat my eyelashes make smooth & subtle passes
Timed perfectly with the classic under my dark glasses
[He must have put a spell on my mind]
Amountin' all the words to do magic
With all due respect he approached it
And offered the roach clip as I respectfully declined to smoke it
[Nah nah I don't I don't do that]
Broken the ice his demeanor was nice
He tried to freak it to my mental
[Ay yo it wasn't accidental]
Yo his talk was slick my resume is kinda thick
[So let's blow this scene girl and check this flick]
And show me why ?Paid alive? ain't ya average click
Recognize Paid Alive about to lock this shit
[Chorus]
Yeah yeah I know you got a car
But we should keep it in the lot
I got a urge to ride the train
Let's do some walkin' in the rain
It sounds insane but meditative for the brain
Plus I'd like to get to see if you as crazy as you claim.
?? like Iceberg Slim in Donald Gowens
Uncut it's all raw dog hit me off
Paid Alive baby girl on sand this connection
Be hit through your burrow territorial section
True I come correct in all mine & denim
Truck trues top kid really wear linens
No question I'll show you affection
As I proceed to lead ya direction
Well these procedures that you agreed to
I'm gonna need to know a little more
About ya self and family [License]
Well who's paid and who's live?
Where you live what you drive?
Ever did a homicide?
[I hope not] let our molecules collide
In time we'll tell if you can indoor with L
If you tryin' to knock it down then I'm not that type of girl
My mind's a pearl and I done been around the world
But if you righteous I might just let you spend the night and
[Chorus]
See all my time okay that's right what?
Nah ain't nobody about wastin' my time
Like ye yeah ye yeah ye yeah ye yeah ye yeah ye yeah
Show me why Paid Alive ain't ya average click
See all my time
In Ms. Lauryn Hill's song "My All", she sings about a man she can't resist and the possibility of having a connection with him. The lyrics "You can't run away gonna find you and take it slowly" and "make you want me" show her unashamed pursuit of this man. She describes him as a well-dressed and well-mannered gentleman who offers her a roach clip, which she respectfully declines. She then expresses her interest in getting to know him and his background better.
The second verse talks about her desire to ride the train with him and walk in the rain together. She is interested in learning more about his family, their wealth status, and their background. However, she makes it clear that she is not the type of girl who would have a one-night stand, and she values herself and her mind. The song is a smooth, sultry tune that captures the feeling of being drawn to someone you can't resist.

We're all in this together
You're my only hope
And it's too divided
Too deep to understand
But if we don't do it
Tell me who will
We say these words
That don't mean too much
I wonder, where is the love?
It's curious
The fear
Still holding us down
One day, will we let go? (Y'all know what this is)
You got a right to your own opinion
But when it comes to the world we live in
Isn't it time that we start rebuilding
All of the things that have basically crumbled
We all tend to forget that
We all cease to exist if
We all live for ourselves
If nobody bothers to find a solution
If he won't
And she won't
And they won't
Then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
If he won't
And she won't
And they won't
Then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
We're all in this together
You're my only hope
And it's too divided
Too deep to understand
But if we don't do it
Tell me who will
We say these words
That don't mean too much
I wonder, where is the love?
It's curious
That fear
Still holding us back
One day, will we let go?
It's up to us
If he won't
And she won't
And they won't
Then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
(To save the day, to save the day)
If he won't
And she won't
And they won't
Then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
If he won't
And she won't
And they won't
Then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
If he won't
And she won't
And they won't
Then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
If he won't
And she won't
And they won't
Then we won't
We won't ever learn to save the day
We gon' learn, we gon' learn
Said we gotta learn
