All Around The World
Veggie Tales Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swear to God I just touched down

[Chorus: Jay-Z] + (LaToiya)
All around the world.. (same song)
Killa Cali n**** (same song)
A-T-L (same song)
Real-adelphia.. dude it's all around the world
[Jay-Z]
London, England, South of France
And all points between they know about your man
Konichiwa ladies when I'm out in Japan
I'm a Tokyo Giant like Ichiro, I am

Piss poor n**** from the hood but I blew
Now I bounce six-fours up and down Crenshaw
Spot me the hotel, the Cap', or Capri
Bathrobe, slippers in the lobby like weed

Your man'll stand manta ray, handlin a steak
And handlin the modern stand about five-eight
Five-nine fine wine fine dine either that
Or I'm mixin in Switzerland, tryin to buy time

Ballin out in Bali when it's gorgeous out in Cali
Brunchin at the 4 Seasons, off the heezy
When it's back home n**** back to the zone
N**** back to the books to the rhymes that took me

[Chorus: Jay-Z] + (LaToiya)
All around the world.. (same song)
Brooklyn bombers (same song)
Detroit players (same song)
Chi-Town.. all around the world

[Jay-Z]
Said it's all love, Sure Club, M-I-A
Party at bungalow eight, when I stay
Pool look like a hundred Beyonce's
A couple fiances, I'm the new DeVante

"Come and Talk to Me" mami in the Ea-sy
Garant, I hope, she ain't too young
Only twenty-one and older let another n**** mold her
I'm just tryin to show her how a baller and a roller

Sleep one place, sell the pie to keep the engine
Runnin then I wake up in Martha's Vineyard
Same boss this year, I think I'm gon' spend Christmas
Reminisce about the time my mom couldn't spend Christmas

Now I'm gon' send her on her own little wish list
Anywhere in the world, anywhere for my girl
Forever my lady, blind crippled and crazy
A ticket and you pay to see D - sweet Sade

[LaToiya]
Sade, Sade, don't you know I love you sweet Sade, Sade
All around the world

[Jay-Z]
Said it ain't where you from yo it's where you at
Real n****z out in Brooklyn, some n****z don't clap
It's real killers out in Cali, some n****z just act
Hollywood like they out the hood, it's all to the good

Real players in the D-Twa, some of them throwed
Slackin on they mackin, rest haven for hoes
Real pranksters in the Chi, most of them real folks
Disciplined Gangsters, come on Charlie I know

S*** it ain't about your city or borough
It's bout if you really as thorough
And if you are, holla at your boy
I put my hand on my heart, that means I feel you

Real recognize real and you lookin familiar
I'm a Bed-Stuy n**** but I do it to death
I promise I'm as St. Thomas homey eatin at Chef's
One-twelve, A-T-L, the sun up yet?

Then we party like the sun don't set

[LaToiya]
We goin' take you all around the world.. it's the same song (same song)
Everywhere (same song)
It's the same song (same song)
We goin' take you all around the world.. same song (same song)

Same song (same song)




Same song (same song)
All around the world..

Overall Meaning

It is interesting to interpret the lyrics of the Veggie Tales song, "All Around the World," as it shares its name with the popular Jay-Z song, yet has a very different context. The Veggie Tales song is about traveling and exploring different cultures around the world. The song opens with the lyrics "All around the world, we're taking a trip. From the mountains high to the ocean dip." This sets the stage for the rest of the song, where the characters of Veggie Tales visit different places and try different foods, all while having fun and experiencing new things. The song is light-hearted and upbeat, encouraging children to be open-minded and curious about different cultures and customs.


In contrast, the Jay-Z song is a brag-rap about his success and ability to travel and enjoy the finer things in life. He boasts about his ability to travel all around the world and live a luxurious lifestyle. He mentions different cities and countries, such as London, Japan, and Switzerland, where he enjoys fine dining and shopping. The chorus reinforces the theme that it's not about where you're from, but where you're at. Jay-Z is highlighting his ability to transcend his humble beginnings and achieve global success.
