All Night Long
T.I. & Justin Timberlake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I told her don't wait up for the kid
Cause I be in the studio all night long
I know some bruddas on the strip yeah
Tryna move these packs till they're all all gone
To locked in for the mix up
Took a couple Ls never give up
Told my brother Ima be a winner
Through the hard times I had to keep my chin up
Bounce back
Yeah I had to bounce back
2022 I took some Ls and i admit that
Jordans on my feet I'm feeling fly without no jet lag
I'm steady
I'm ready
I hope you don't forget me
I hope you don't forget me for the all the shit that i did
Why you being petty like what's up with this silence
Everything was criss and now we ain't got no guidance
Even if I fail again, you know that I'm still trying
Yeah,
Yeah you know that I'm still trying
Caught up in the act I couldn't denie it
If you tell me that your riding
I ain't gotta question if you lying
But I know you got trust issues
Thinking how them other niggas did you
Thinking is it lies or is it true
But I'm tryna get this paper no big issue
I don't know what you been told
I know it's gonna be alright
Told my bro's I'm down to ride
You know, ain't gotta say it twice
This pain, I pour it all on ice
I risk it all, put it all on the line
This pain, I pour it all on ice
I'm sipping strong I could go all night long
I been in the zone I could go all night long
Going through my phone, why you tryna do that for
Had you waiting up all night with the lights on
On the right path I ain't really tryna detour
Tell my baby you know Ima shell it like a seashore
It's timing, still out here grinding
Got money on mind
Keep showing you love
But I know you tryna find it
You going through some things
You too busy tryna hide it
I don't know what you been told
I know it's gonna be alright
Told my bro's I'm down to ride
You know, ain't gotta say it twice
This pain, I pour it all on ice
I risk it all, put it all on the line
This pain, I pour it all on ice
I'm sipping strong I could go all night long
I told her don't wait up for the kid
Cause I be in the studio all night long
I know some bruddas on the strip yeah
Tryna move these packs till they're all all gone
To locked in for the mix up
Took a couple Ls never give up




Told my brother Ima be a winner
Through the hard times I had to keep my chin up
