All I Ever Wanted
Montana of 300 feat. Dallas Eli Lyrics

All I ever wanted, All I ever wanted
The artist's ultimate desire

All I ever wanted was to get my family out the hood
To help his family escape their poverty-stricken neighborhood

All I ever wanted was to see you smile and know you're good
To make someone happy and know they are doing well

All I ever wanted was to get my homies out the hood
To help his friends escape their poverty-stricken neighborhood

All I ever wanted was to see her smile and know she good
To make a woman happy and know she is doing well

All I ever wanted was to make a fucking difference
To make a positive impact on the world

Knew a lot that never did it
The artist knew many people who wanted to make a difference but never did

Tryna be the one who did it
The artist wanted to be the one who made a positive difference

Grew up in the project building
The artist grew up in public housing

Witnessed dealings and some killings
The artist saw drug deals and violent crimes

Devil grinning with how we living
The artist feels that the devil is happy with the way they are living in poverty

Niggas sinning just to get it
People are committing sins in order to obtain what they need

Used to go to bed at night while watching roaches on the ceiling
The artist used to go to bed at night with roaches crawling on the ceiling, a common sight in public housing

Taking turns with plates and fork
The artist and his family had to share plates and forks because they didn't have enough

Because there wasn't enough dishes
There weren't enough dishes for everyone in the artist's family

Taught to share with all my siblings, If I got they can get it
The artist was taught to share with his siblings, if he had something, they could have it too

I remember watching my OG get high up in the kitchen
The artist remembers watching his mother get high on drugs in the kitchen

I remember finding pipes she hid up in the oven mitten
The artist found drug pipes hidden in an oven mitt

How I used to throw them out
The artist used to throw out the drug pipes

The ninth floor window like I'm pitching
He would throw the pipes out the ninth floor window as if he were pitching in baseball

Then act like I never did it
The artist would pretend like he never threw the pipes out

Thinking that would make her quit it
He thought throwing the pipes out would make his mother give up drugs

I still pray to God for healing
The artist still hopes for his mother's healing and recovery from drug addiction

If you're real I know you hear me (Ahhhh)
The artist is addressing God, saying if God is real, he knows he is being heard

All I ever wanted was to make it to the top
The artist's desire to succeed and make something of himself

Used to look up to my Pops, and all he played was Big and Pac
The artist's dad influenced his music taste and he listened to Biggie and Tupac

I figured if I rapped like them well maybe i could get this guap
The artist believed that if he rapped like Biggie and Tupac, he could make money

Put me on TV, I can't see me in no can or in no box
The artist's desire to make it onto TV and avoid prison or dying

Never thought I had to hussle, Never thought I'd tote these Glocks
Originally, the artist never thought he would have to hustle (sell drugs) or carry guns

Never thought I fight them cases, sleeping counties on a cot
The artist never thought he would have to fight legal cases and end up in county jail

Niggas think shit funny til this 40 gets to singing, Jamie Foxx
People don't take things seriously until the artist pulls out his gun

You beef with me then bodies drop
If someone has a problem with the artist, people start getting hurt

Boy you dont want to be my opps
It's not a good idea to be the artist's enemy

And I dont leave no witnesses so can't nobody can tell the cops
The artist doesn't leave any witnesses to his actions so that nobody can report him to the police

Niggas snitching, choppers take them out the picture when I crop
If someone is talking to the police about the artist, he eliminates them using his weapon

Never planned on popping pussies or nobody getting shot
The artist never intended to harm anyone or kill anybody

But I ain't never complain about mine, Nigga you know how I rock
The artist doesn't complain about his situation or make excuses, he just gets things done

All I ever wanted, All I ever wanted
The artist's ultimate desire

All I ever wanted was to get my family out the hood
To help his family escape their poverty-stricken neighborhood

All I ever wanted was to see you smile and know you're good
To make someone happy and know they are doing well

All I ever wanted was to get my homies out the hood
To help his friends escape their poverty-stricken neighborhood

All I ever wanted was to see her smile and know she good
To make a woman happy and know she is doing well

All I ever wanted, was to give my people hope
The artist's desire to inspire his community and give them hope

And get their backs up off the ropes
To help his community overcome adversity and struggle

Make my people proud, keep your heads above the clouds
The artist wants his people to hold their heads high and be proud of who they are

Bought my momma a big ol' house, I just wanna see you smile
The artist wanted to buy his mother a nice house and make her happy

All I ever wanted was my OG off of drugs
The artist's desire to help his mother overcome her drug addiction

Used to wash clothes in the tub, Never thought I'd be the plug
The artist used to wash clothes in a bathtub and never thought he would become a drug dealer

All I ever wanted was to make it with this rapping
The artist wanted to make it big with his music

First I'll trap and get to stacking and invest and make it happen
The artist planned on selling drugs (trapping) to make money, investing that money, and making his music career happen

All I ever wanted to see my niggas shine
The artist's desire to see his friends succeed and prosper

Never thought that you would be jealous
The artist never expected his friends to be jealous of his success

You was hating all the time
His friends were envious and resentful towards him

Had that fuck shit on your mind, Dont know how you was designed
His friends had negative intentions, but he doesn't understand why

But the lord didn't make me blind, I know how to read them signs
The artist is perceptive and can understand when someone has ill intentions towards him
