All Night
Nas Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's alright

Said she wants my loving all night
When she get it she'll be alright
Said she wants my loving all night
When she get it she'll be alright

Well, now she call me on the phone and said she's home alone
And she wants me to come over and make her house a home
Well, I gave it to her once and I liked how she responds
Well, now I'm in trouble, yeah

Said she wants my loving all night
When she get it she'll be alright, all night
Said she wants my loving all night
When she get it she'll be alright

It seems she need to oil her spine
Tell all a gyal toast bread can't build di putty gold mine
Need all di doctor fish with di essential slime
She tell me she want to signal the plane 'n time mi want slow wine

Turn on di HBO she want fi watch 'Showtime'
Give her di cordless microphone, she want di one with line
Seem like me and this young gyal, ya just can't combine
So it's sour like lime, running it down the line, Mr. Muffin one time

Said she wants my loving all night
When she get it she'll be all right, all night
Said she wants my loving all night
When she get it she'll be all right

She call mi pon di I 95
How mi ah tek so long, she ah wonder which car mi drive
Tired fi listen album now and she want me live
Tell me she want fi come, knock her out till she can't revive

So, ah so mi planet and di stars align
She tell me she want me, know which part her hills and valley dem join
Seh she want me ride her like a Ferrari sign
Put appointment aside
Nothing can't compromise fi di vibes I provide, bim

It's alright
She wants my loving all night
When she gets it she's all right
She wants my loving all night

I should no make no physical contact
Tell her fi hold it down and still she just can't quiet
Seh mi take her up and turn her maniac
Tellin' me dat I compliment her natural habitat

Well, it seem like she deaf or she blind
Want come step inna mi life, when time she deh far behind
Want mi play her rhythm till di tape want rewind




And she nah watch no time and she just nah resign
Till she see the sun shine, okay

Overall Meaning

The song "All Night" by Nas and Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley is about a woman who wants the singer's love all night long. The song suggests that the woman is using sex to fill a void in her life and wants the singer's attention regardless of the consequences. The song lyrics suggest that the singer has already given her his love once, and now he is in trouble. The woman is depicted as being insatiable, needing to be oiled, and constantly needing attention. The singer, however, is more interested in creating a true connection than merely being used as a sexual object.


The lyrics of this song are interesting because they use reggae beats to convey the story in a way that is both fun and serious. The singer's reluctance to give in to the woman's demands is palpable, as is the woman's neediness. Both characters are fully realized, and the song manages to be both sexy and jarring.
